  13. Deployment Topology - Integration • Add FAST Search to existing SharePoint installation • SharePoint 2010 and SQL in place first • Standalone or Multinode FAST Search SharePoint 2010 FAST Search SQL

  14. FAST SearchInstallation demo Run Pre-Requisite Installer Run FAST Search Installer Run configuration script

  15. Integration Notes • FAST Search configuration produces details file: C:\FASTSearch\Install_Info.txt • Contains information needed for SharePoint 2010 configuration of FAST Search applications • Also creates deployment config file: C:\FASTSearch\... etc\config_data\deployment.xml • Contains per-node component layout and details • Can be modified e.g. when adding node to installation

  19. Capacity Planning

  20. Deployment ConceptScale-out • Add columns to extend document capacity • Add rows to extend query capacity or fault tolerance Column 0 1 2 3 Indexer/Search Indexer/Search Indexer/Search Indexer/Search Row 0 Row 1 Indexer/Search Indexer/Search Indexer/Search Indexer/Search

  21. Scale-out Scenarios • From simple to complex Indexer/ Search Indexer/ Search Indexer/ Search FAST Search Admin & Content Processing Enterprise Crawler Indexer/ Search Indexer/ Search Indexer/ Search

  22. Content Gathering • Document Processing • Search FAST Search CPU Usage • Administrative services • Enterprise Crawler • Content distributor • Index/Search • Administrative • Name service • Web Analyzer • Content processor(s) • Query result processor • Security access module (SAM) • Indexing dispatcher • Database Connector Key Heavy Moderate Light

  25. Server Planning! • You can use your current 64-bit hardware • Enterprise class servers: • 2U > 6 disks SAS • 2xQuad Core CPUs (mid-range OK) • Upgrade the memory to 32GB or more for servers hosting virtual environments • Upgraded RAID controller: • Battery Backed Write Cache will improve performance and reliability

  26. Disk Arrays • Direct attached storage provides the best performance for the cost • 100GB+ • IE: 2x146GB SAS drives RAID 1 • 1TB, 2000 IOPS • IE: 8x146GB 10K RPM SAS drives RAID 5 • 3TB, 3000 IOPS • IE: 12x300 GB 10K RPM SAS drives RAID 5/50

  27. Multinode Deployment

  28. Multinode Deployment • Add FAST Search to existing SharePoint installation • SharePoint 2010 and SQL in place first • FAST Search Admin first, followed by additional servers SharePoint 2010 FAST Search Admin FAST Search FAST Search SQL Server Server
