C'était annoncé pour Q4 2013 ou Q1 2014 (rappel: http://microsofttouch.fr/default/b/christophe/archive/2013/09/16/microsoft-lync-server-2013-int-233-gration-cisco-vcs.aspx), la release 8.1 du Cisco VCS est enfin disponible.
Fonctionnalités qui nous intéressent dans cette nouvelle release:
Microsoft Lync 2013 / H.264 SVC support:
The Microsoft Lync B2BUA now supports calls to and from Microsoft Lync 2013 clients. It provides interworking between standard H.264 AVC and Lync 2013's H.264UC SVC codec. To use Lync 2013 you must install the Microsoft Interoperability option key (formerly known as the Enhanced OCS Collaboration option key). Note that for Lync 2010, the Microsoft Interoperability option key requirements remain as per previous releases (i.e. it is required for encrypted calls to and from Microsoft Lync Server and for establishing ICE calls to Lync clients).
Presentation sharing via Lync 2013 is supported but only from VCS to Lync.
Support for standards-based H.264 SVC codecs: The B2BUA now supports calls to standards-based H.264 SVC codecs.
