  8. Fundamental Principle #1 • IIS Web Sites = IIS Virtual Servers = Web Applications Physical Server Web Application(s) Top Level Site(s) Site Collections Site(s)/webs Site Collection

  9. Fundamental Principle #2 • Consistency in Hierarchy • WSS 3.0 • Web Applications • Site Collections • Sites • Templates & Features • MOSS 2007 • Web Applications • Site Collections • Sites • Templates & Features

  10. Fundamental Principle #3 Servers Have Services are Are Roles • Servers have Roles • Web Front End (WFE) • Query • Calculation (Excel) • Index • (Non SharePoint) Database Server • Simplified Really Just 3 Roles • WFE/Query – 99% • Index (App Tier) • SQL Note: Never put Query and Index on same server if there is another Query server!

  11. Deployment InstallKey concepts • 32 bit or 64bit binaries **Note: SharePoint 2010 requires 2008 64bit & 64bit SQL 2005 or 2008 • Install • Basic NOT RECOMMENDED except for POC • Advanced – Allows you to connect to SQL • WFE only vs. Full install • Language Packs (Downloads on the Web) • WSS • MOSS • Ifilter pack +

  12. Most Common Farms WFE/ Query WFE/Query All SP Roles Index “All in One” SQL SQL SQL

  13. Key Factors in Topology • Usage • # Users • Solution (The answer before the question) • Authentication Type (Anonymous vs. AD) • Caching Offload devices • Business & Tech Requirements • Client & Server Performance Requirements • SLAs (Uptime/High Availability Req.) • WAN Considerations (Multi farm) • Data • GBs/TBs of data • Total # Files and Items (rare)

  14. SharePoint in common… LOLCATS.COM

  15. Fundamental Principle #3 • You MUST learn the difference between site and site collection despite the confusion. • Site = Web = Spweb aka subweb STSADM = Web UI=site • Site Collection = SpSite STSADM = Site Central Admin = Site UI= Site Collection

  16. Defaults have Faults

  17. POP QUIZ!!!! • What is the most scalable object in SharePoint? • Site Collection • Can I run WFE and Query on one box and WFE Query Index on another? • NO! • Is a default basic install good enough to get started? • No! (Even be careful with proof of concept.) • Is Virtualization and SharePoint ok? • Yes!

  24. Plan for Software BoundariesPlan your lists and libraries • Throughput differences between flat document library vs. document library with folders

  25. Top Performance Killers • Indexing/Crawling • Backup (SQL & Tape) • Profile Import • Misc Timer Jobs – User Sync for large #s of Users • STSADM Backup/Restore • Large List Operations • Heavy User Operation List Import/Write
