Live Communications Server Proxy
Applications that provide Instant Messaging and real-time communications are becoming more com-
mon than ever. Leveraging the Live Communications Server Proxy, organizations can build real-time
applications using the LCS Proxy as an interface between applications that use the Live Communications
Server service and the Live Communications Server Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition servers. The
Live Communications Server Proxy acts as an application proxy, as depicted in Figure 1-2, enabling data
transfer to and from applications that are utilizing the LCS service.
