Previous version

​Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 is the most recent version of what was previously called Office Communications Server, and replaces Office Communications Server 2007 R2.
Upgrading to Lync

Microsoft Lync Server 2010 includes several new features not available in Office Communications Server. Upgrade now to take advantage of a more unified experience, easier connection and collaboration capabilities, richer conferencing, complete Enterprise Voice features, powerful deployment and management tools, and added extensibility.

Coexistence

Lync can also work in tandem with Office Communications Server, so that you can run both platforms simultaneously without creating system conflicts.
