The Capacity Planning for Skype for Business Server 2015 TechNet documentation has been released as well as the Skype for Business Server 2015 Capacity Calculator. Review the Capacity Planning TechNet documentation here and download the Capacity Calculator here.
The Skype for Business Server 2015 Capacity Calculator is designed to assist you in determining server requirements based on numbers of users and communication modalities that are enabled at your organization. You enter your organization’s profile, and the calculator provides recommendations that help you plan your topology. You can benefit most from the calculator if you have accurate, detailed information about your specific user profile. For example, the percentage of voice-enabled users, average calls per user per hour, call duration, and the percentage of concurrent users in conferences can make a huge difference in server requirements. The accuracy of the recommendations created by the calculator depends on the accuracy of the information that you provide.
Note – the corresponding Word document with instructions on how to use the tool is currently not available. In the meantime the corresponding Word document for the Lync Server 2013 Capacity Calculator can be used if you are unfamiliar with how to populate the spreadsheet, available here. Once the Word document is released I will update this post accordingly.
