Introducing the BIG-IP and Live Communications 
Server 2005 Enterprise Edition configuration

Microsoft® and F5 have collaborated on a highly effective way to 
intelligently direct traffic for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 
2005 Enterprise Edition with the F5 BIG-IP® application traffic 
management device. Microsoft and F5 Networks have conducted 
interoperability testing between the BIG-IP LTM system and Microsoft Live 
Communications Server 2005. Organizations using the BIG-IP LTM system 
benefit from mission-critical availability, intelligent traffic management, 
simple scalability, and enhanced security for Live Communications Server 
deployments. 

Live Communications Server provides organizations with voice, video, chat, 
and an extensible platform that connects people, information, and business 
processes—enabling better decisions faster. With a familiar user experience 
integrated into Microsoft Office System programs, Live Communications 
Server allows people to communicate without the constraints of geography, 
office location, or time zone.
