5. Overview • Many organizations start out by deploying SharePoint using a “Shared Services” model but realise that various divisions, companies and or business units want a more individualized control over their platform; enter the Multi-Tenant. In this session we will cover: • The differences between Shared and Tenanted Architecture • The pitfalls of both platforms • How to effectively deploy multi-tenancy • What administrative components are required for either deployment • By identifying the capabilities of SharePoint 2010’s tenanted infrastructure upfront, SharePoint Architects will be better equipped to make the correct decisions as to a.) What platform to use, b.) What features to use within each platform and c.) Ultimately how to manage SharePoint more efficiently.
