In addition to the global, cloud-based Office 365 service including Lync Online, Microsoft provides the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Multitenant Pack for Partner Hosting for companies offering hosted Lync services to their customers. The Lync Hosting Pack
enables hosters to offer services such as IM/Presence, Conferencing, and Enterprise Voice in a multi-tenant architecture to overlay customers’ existing communications systems with UC capabilities. The Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Multitenant Pack for Partner
Hosting is particularly attractive for companies that want to offer hosted Lync services in regions with unreliable international internet connections or where data security is a concern.
One company that has successfully deployed the Lync Server Hosting Pack with AudioCodes media gateways is
New Edge Technologies. New Edge Technologies is a privately held company that specializes in Information Technology and Telecommunications services. Headquartered in Rabat, Morocco, the company
is the only pure hoster of the Microsoft Unified Communications stack (Lync Server 2010) in Africa and the Middle East thanks to its strong partnership with Microsoft US. New Edge Technologies deployed AudioCodes Mediant media gateways with E1 ISDN
interfaces to provide reliable interconnectivity between the hosted Lync platform and the local PSTN provider.
