  1. Hosted SharePoint

  2. Part 3/3: Office Live as a WSS solution Hosted SharePoint Speaker Name speaker@microsoft.com http://blogs.msdn.com/speaker Microsoft Corporation

  3. Agenda • What is Office Live? • Sharing and questions regarding • Topology • Capacity & server utilization • WSS as a platform • Authenticated (private) sites • Anonymous (public) sites • Migration from WSS v2 to v3 • Monitoring and operations • “Dos” and “Don’ts” of large WSS deployments

  4. What is Office Live? • IT for small business hosted by Microsoft • Built on Sharepoint: • Public web site and domain • Small business applications • Vanilla hosted Sharepoint • Platform for third-party partners to build applications • Web site traffic reports • Company-branded e-mail • Sales and marketing services

  5. Sign up – it's Free! • http://officelive.fr in France • Basics: free • Essentials: free during Beta • Premium: free during Beta

  6. Public Site Topology • Anonymous access internet web site • 2 clusters • 4 Sharepoint V3 Web Front End Machines • 2 SQL 2005 Mirrored Machines

  7. Private Site Topology • Authenticated access intranet web site • 2 clusters • 4 Sharepoint V3 Web Front End Machines • 2 SQL 2005 Mirrored Machines • 1 Sharepoint V3 WFE Search indexer/query machine • 1 SQL 2005 Search database machine

  8. Topology

  9. Web Front End Hardware • HP ProLiant DL385 • 2x 2.4Ghz dual core AMD® O280 CPU • 4GB PC3200 SDRAM • 2x 146GB 10k SCSI HDD Raid 1 • Dual port PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet

  10. SQL Server Hardware • HP ProLiant DL585 • 4x 2.2Ghz dual core AMD® O848 CPU • 4GB PC2700 SDRAM • Dual port embedded Gigabit Ethernet • 2x 72GB 15K SCSI (RAID 1: OS partition) • 28*300 10K SCSI • RAID 10: 1.9TB data (14 drives) • RAID 1: 270GB SQL logs (2 drives) • Raid 5: 1TB temporary DB (5 drives) • Raid 5: 1TB temporary DB (5 drives)

  11. Capacity • Same for Public and Private • 2 clusters • 5 content DBs per cluster • 1.8 TB storage per cluster • Roughly 150 GB used per cluster • Current public cluster usage • 240k sites • 24k sites per content DB • Current private cluster usage • 40k sites • 4k sites per content DB

  12. Server Utilization

  13. WSS Integration • ASP.NET Membership Provider for Windows Live ID • Replaces built-in Windows authentication • Required special hooks to enable search • Automated backup/restore mechanism • SQL backup of content DBs • Group user-initiated restore requests by content DB • Backup DB is temporarily loaded and sites are restored • Implements backup retention policy • Purges old backups no longer required • Consistent with various legal and privacy policies • Storage and Bandwidth limiting features built on WSS base functionality

  14. WSS in Public Sites • UI Rendering is straight ASP.NET; not WSS • WSS storage API for sites • WSS host-header mode for domains • WSS utility API for string normalization, etc. • FPRPC/DAV access enables customers to bring their own sites

  15. WSS in Private Sites • Hosted WSS is a natural fit for our customers • Office Live ships additional small business applications • Generally implemented as SharePoint templates • Event Handler DLL to enforce referential integrity between lists • Partner/developer story • Full WSS web service API • WSS Templates • Sharepoint Designer 2007 • Office Client applications • No server code execution

  16. Monitoring • Monitoring • MSN’s TMF monitors http requests from outside the datacenter • Perf counter monitoring of Windows, SQL, and Office Live (not WSS) • Eventlog monitoring of all technologies • ULS used for all logging • Incident Response • Tier 1 ops: MSN datacenter • Tier 2 ops: Office IPO team • Product team

  17. "Do's" • Enable App Pool recycling • Move to 64 bit when you can • Plan WSS migration carefully • Write WSS apps in a way that can be patched • Plan for heavy SQL I/O • Use SQL 2005 SP1 Mirroring • Practice patching with 0 downtime

  18. "Don’ts" • Invent process on the fly • Have any manual steps in deployment • Neglect monitoring of partner dependencies • Under-spend on search hardware
