  12. Agenda SharePoint Capabilities—what exactly is SharePoint? Tooling—how did they do that?

  13. What is SharePoint?

  14. SharePoint Plastic “SharePoint isn't a credit card, but it does mold very well.  Not sure if it's play dough or plastic…SharePoint is a business productivity platform…If you can save 200 million dollars by using SharePoint it's that it is plastic and can fit to your needs.  You simply need to understand what needs to be done (basically what the mold looks like) so that you can warm up the plastic to match.” --Joel Oleson

  28. SharePoint Topologies Tom Wisnowski Sr. Consultant, Microsoft Consulting Services tomwis@microsoft.com

  29. Pop Quiz! Forget the old definitions! They do not apply to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 topologies. • What is the Microsoft supported definition of: • Small Farm? • Medium Farm? • Large Farm?

  30. Considerations when planning your physical topology Availability Capacity Performance Organizational requirements Differing availability requirements / SLAs Regulatory / data segregation requirements Functional requirements Licensing Cost

  31. Topology Design Components Increasing complexity and cost

  32. Getting started… • Review the TechNet planning guides • Plan for system requirements • http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/0ed0b44c-d60d-4b85-87de-19065d9688351033.mspx?mfr=true • Design server farms and topologies • http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/0ed0b44c-d60d-4b85-87de-19065d9688351033.mspx?mfr=true • Plan for performance and capacity • http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/0ed0b44c-d60d-4b85-87de-19065d9688351033.mspx?mfr=true • Logical architecture components • http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/0ed0b44c-d60d-4b85-87de-19065d9688351033.mspx?mfr=true

  33. Getting started… • Document customer base • # users, usage profiles, locations • Gather requirements • Functionality • Availability • Plan for capacity • Plan for performance • Research and document design constraints

  34. Logical Components SharePoint Topology Planning

  35. Lists and Libraries • Can contain up to 5 million items • Split content up using folders • Try to not have more than 2000 items/folders at any one level in the hierarchy • Not a hard limit • Utilize indexed columns and custom views • Consider • Usability • Search Relevance • Size of the content database

  36. Sites and Site Collections • 250,000 sites per collection / 50,000 collections per web application • Nest sites to reach 250,000 (2000 / level) • Site enumeration performance drops at 2000 sites • Consider • Usability & Search Relevance • Size of collection / content databases • Operations like export / import

  37. Content Databases • Max size based on operations / SLAs • Most customers: 50GB – 250GB • Recommend no more than 100 per web application (based on SQL server spec) • Move to multiple SQL instances to increase • Try to group site collections of similar size and function into shared content databases • Site collections cannot span multiple DBs • Content deployment requires multiple DBs • STSADM can target content DBs / UI cannot* • New SP1 STSADM command “mergecontentdb” can be used to merge and split content dbs

  38. Web Applications • 99 per Shared Service Provider • Consider server resources (10 per farm realistic) • 1-2GB memory typical • Sharing app pools can decrease utilization • 10 > will probably require multiple child farms • Consider • Top level URL requirements / SSL • Functional requirements (ex: self service site creation) • Process isolation

  39. Shared Service Providers • 3 per farm, 20 max • Server resources are a big factor • Why multiple SSPs? • Differing functional requirements • Multiple administrative groups • Multiple index servers / multiple indexes * • In most scenarios, one SSP is all you need

  40. Farms • No theoretical limit when isolated (running own SSP) • Consider CapEx/OpEx • Can consume a parent farm’s SSP or host an SSP for other farms to consume • 99 web apps per SSP apply • Can only share 1 SSP
