Goals • Single place to access all resources • SSO • Ease of use for students, staff and faculty • Ease of management PCNEAT 2015: It’s New York Sweet
Where we came from • Deployed PowerCampus Portal in September 2007 • Extensive GUI modification • SharePoint 2007 and 2010 had limitations PCNEAT 2015: It’s New York Sweet
Our “upgrade” process • Spent significant time on preparing SharePoint environment • Did not migrate content • Manually moved content • Difficult mostly for rights and access issues otherwise not too tough • Comparative ease of configuration (no web application management tool or manual editing of config files • Now upgrades are a breeze – we did 4.0 to 4.1 in 30 min or less PCNEAT 2015: It’s New York Sweet
Environment • ISCSI SAN • For our size, a two-server topology was sufficient for all SharePoint services deployed • WFE Server – VMware, Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter x64, 32 GB memory • Database Server – VMware, Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64, SQL 2012, 64 GB memory, hosts other apps including PowerCampus, PowerFaids, SelfService • Larger usage case may require more resources • Use EllucianADWatcherand Profile Updater PCNEAT 2015: It’s New York Sweet
