  2. Introduction • SharePoint Products and Technologies facilitate collaboration within an organization and with partners and customers. • Collaboration • Information Discovery • Personalization • Application Integration • Using the combined features of Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server, users in your organization can easily create, manage, and build their own Web sites and make them available throughout the organization.

  3. Agenda • What is “SharePoint”? • Exploring Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 • Exploring SharePoint Portal Server 2003 • Architecture for Scalability and Reliability • Extending and Customizing SharePoint • When do I need Portal Server? • Summary

  4. What is “SharePoint”? • SharePoint grew out of the Exchange Development Team’s collaboration work and “Digital Dashboard” initiative. • SharePoint Team Services 1.0 and SharePoint Portal Server 2001 • Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and SharePoint Portal Services 2003 • MS Office 2003 integration

  12. Architecture Overview - Logical

  13. Architecture Overview - Physical • SharePoint is designed for server farms! • Scale-out options: • Front-end Web Servers (SPS and/or WSS) • Search Servers • Index Management / Job Servers • SQL Server Cluster

  14. Architecture Overview - Physical Small Server Farm (not Highly-Available)

  15. Architecture Overview - Physical Medium Server Farm

  16. Architecture Overview - Physical Large Server Farm

  17. Extending and Customizing SharePoint There are several options for creating custom content with SharePoint technologies: • Web Browser • FrontPage 2003 • ASP.NET WebParts Development • SharePoint Services Object Model • SOAP-based Web Services • Application Integration

  18. Developing Solutions - FrontPage Demo • Viewing a SharePoint Site • Editing a Web-Part Page • Using Web Parts • Creating a New Site

  19. Developing Solutions - WebParts • WebParts are the basic building blocks of SharePoint sites. • WebParts are ASP.NET Custom Controls that inherit from the WebPart base class. • WebParts can communicate with other web parts to pass information and coordinate tasks. • These components are packaged into .NET assemblies that are then deployed to the SharePoint site. They can then be used on SharePoint pages.

  20. When do I need Portal Server?

  21. Summary • “SharePoint” is an umbrella term for Microsoft’s collaborative web technologies including both WSS and SPS. • Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is a set of web server extensions that are part of Windows 2003 and allow teams to quickly create and manage a simple hierarchy of collaborative web sites. • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) is a server product built on WSS that brings together collections of WSS site hierarchies into a single, centrally-managed portal. SPS provides services such as search capabilities that can be shared across all sites in the organization. • WebParts are the key building block for adding custom content to SharePoint-based solutions. A WebPart is an ASP.NET custom control that is designed to be managed by SharePoint’s infrastructure.
