Internet Information Services 7.0 andInternet Information Services 7.5 Infrastructure Planning and Design Published: June 2008 Updated: July 2010
What Is IPD?Guidance that clarifies and streamlines the planning and design process for Microsoft® infrastructure technologies IPD: • Defines decision flow • Describes decisions to be made • Relates decisions and options for the business • Frames additional questions for business understanding IPD guides are available at www.microsoft.com/ipd
Getting Started Internet Information Services 7.0 and Internet Information Services 7.5
Purpose and Overview • Purpose • To provide guidance for designing an Internet Information Services (IIS) infrastructure • Overview • What’s new for Windows Server® 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5 • IIS infrastructure design process • Assessing the applications • Designing the IIS
What’s New in Windows Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7.5) • The following changes are available in the Web Server (IIS) role in Windows Server 2008 R2: • Integrated extensions • Management enhancements • Application hosting enhancements • Enhancements to Microsoft .NET support on Server Core • BranchCache
IIS Decision Flow MAP w/ CAL Tracker SCM ITA
Step 1: Determine the Project Scope • Task 1: Create a Site List • Determine what is in scope: a single application, a web farm, a department, a site, or any other logical collection that has a clear boundary • The steps in this guide are designed to be performed once per collection or site
Step 2: Characterize the Applications • Task 1: Create an Application Inventory • To gather requirements, ask the following questions: • Will it need Microsoft .NET Framework? • Does it need to be isolated? • How many users will need to gain access? • What are the fault tolerance needs? • Is the full list of information needs in guide?
Step 3: Determine Windows Server 2008 Edition and Installation Mode • Task 1: Determine the Edition • 32-bit (Windows Server 2008) • 64-bit (Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) • Task 2: Determine the Installation Mode • Full Installation (Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter) • Core Installation
Step 4: Determine the Location for Configuration and Content Storage • Task 1: Determine the configuration and content location • Local Storage • Remote File Shares • Task 2: Determine the configuration and content storage requirements • Capacity • Performance • Task 3: Determine the configuration and content storage fault tolerance • Built-In (Network-Attached) • File Replication • Server Clustering
Step 5: Determine the Fault Tolerance for the Infrastructure • Task 1: Determine the Fault-Tolerance Approach • Software NLB • Hardware load balancers • Task 2: Determine the Need for Additional Services • Additional services like DNS may require fault tolerance as well
Step 6: Determine Required Server Resources • Task 1: Determine Whether to Use Virtualization • Physical Hardware • Virtual Machine • Task 2: Define the Number of IIS Instances • Task 3: Server Scaling Considerations • BranchCache (New for Windows Server 2008 R2) • CPU • Memory • Network
Summary and Conclusion • Each application was scoped and characterized • Implementation method and platform selected • Configuration and content storage location decided • Fault tolerance needs addressed • Server instances determined and scaled appropriately • Provide feedback to satfdbk@microsoft.com

Addenda: • Benefits for Consultants or Partners • IPD in Microsoft Operations Framework 4.0
Benefits of Using the IIS Guide • Benefits for Business Stakeholders/Decision Makers • Most cost-effective design solution for implementation • Alignment between the business and IT from the beginning of the design process to the end • Benefits for Infrastructure Stakeholders/Decision Makers • Authoritative guidance • Business validation questions ensuring solution meets requirements of business and infrastructure stakeholders • High integrity design criteria that includes product limitations • Fault-tolerant infrastructure • Infrastructure that’s sized appropriately for business requirements
Benefits of Using the IIS Guide (Continued) • Benefits for Consultants or Partners • Rapid readiness for consulting engagements • Planning and design template to standardize design and peer reviews • A “leave-behind” for pre- and post-sales visits to customer sites • General classroom instruction/preparation • Benefits for the Entire Organization • Using the guide should result in a design that will be sized, configured, and appropriately placed to deliver a solution for achieving stated business requirements
IPD in Microsoft Operations Framework 4.0 Use MOF with IPD guides to ensure that people and process considerations are addressed when changes to an organization’s IT services are being planned.
