3. Session Objectives • Basic Deployment • SharePoint 101: The New World - Fundamentals • Logical Architecture • Physical Architecture • Administration Models • Part 2 - Advanced Deployment • Multi Farm Topologies • Content & Solution Deployment • Security • Extranets – Firewall Rules • Caching

5. WSS 3.0 and SharePoint Server 2007 Web Forms, Excel Services, BDC ECM, WCM, Search, & Portals Platform & Collaboration

6. Topics • SharePoint 101 – The New World: 5 Administration Fundamentals • Logical Architecture • Re-architecting SharePoint Admin • Security Map • Physical Architecture • Picking your topology • Multi-farm topologies • Hardware Requirements • Putting it all Together

7. Fundamental Principle #1 Physical Server Web Application(s) Top Level Site(s) Site Collections Site(s) Site Collection

8. 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

9. Fundamental Principle #4 • What happened to “Portals”? Portal = Site Collection + Portal Template + Shared Services + Features SharePoint Server Web Application(s) Portal Template Central Admin SSP Admin Portal Template

10. Fundamental Principle #5 • FLEXIBLE TOPOLOGIES • Servers have Roles • Web Front End (WFE) • Application Server (Query, Calculation, Index) • Database Server • Farms can have relationships • Authoring • Publishing • Dev, Test, Production • SSP

11. Scaling for High Availability and Load • Performance • High availability • Applications • Data growth • Offload Capabilities- Scale Out MOSS

12. What is an IIS Virtual Server/Web Site? EISH - Surprise Test!!!! • Web Application! • What does the acronym SSP stand for? • Shared Service Provider! • Can I add servers Modularly? • Yes! (Plan physical and logical architecture) • Do I have to use AD for user authentication? • Nope

13. Topics • SharePoint 101 – The New World • Logical Architecture • Planning Logical Architecture • 3 Tiered SharePoint Admin • Physical Architecture • Picking your topology • Multi-farm topologies • Hardware Requirements • Putting it all Together

18. Plan for Software Boundaries Recommendations & Guidelines (subset) • For all recommendations, visit “Plan for software boundaries (Office SharePoint Server)” at http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/6a13cd9f-4b44-40d6-85aa-c70a8e5c34fe1033.mspx

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

23. What does the Karoo and SharePoint have in Common?

24. FARMS!!!!

25. Deployment Key concepts • x86 or x64 or Mixed • Prerequisites • .NET Framework 3.0 Redist • ASP.NET 2.0 • Windows Workflow Foundation • Install • Basic – • WSS - Windows Internal Database Engine; MOSS - Installs SQL Express (Not recommended for more than a couple of GB) • Advanced – Allows you to connect to SQL • WFE only vs. Full install • Language Packs (Downloads on the Web) • WSS • MOSS – Include WSS LPs

26. Picking Your Topology • Factors to consider • # Users • Authentication Type (Anonymous vs. AD) • Caching • Client & Server Performance Requirements • SLAs (Uptime/High Availability Req.) • WAN Considerations • GBs/TBs of data • Total # Files and Items

27. 5 Server Farm (Medium) 10 Server Farm (Large) User requests Web front ends + application(s) Application(s) Index Query Query Calc + Clustered SQL server 3 Server Farm (Small) User requests Each load-balanced server includes: • Web front end • Applications User requests Dedicated SQL server Load balances web front end servers Single Server Application servers User Requests One Server which contains: • Web front end • Application • Database 2 Clustered SQL server Picking Your Topology Performance Availability

28. Hardware Recommendations • Single box installation * • CPU: 2.5 GHz (Go dual/quad core!) • Memory: 4+ GB recommended, 1 GB minimum • Farm Deployment * • Web server: 2.5 GHz, 4+ GB RAM • App server: Dual proc 2.5 GHz, 4+ GB RAM • SQL: Dual proc 2.5 GHz; 4+ GB RAM • Load Balanced Web Farm can support ~25K users

29. WSS Modular Scale Out • ALL in One (Windows Internal Database Engine) • 1 WFE - 1 SQL • 2 WFE - 1 SQL (Split Indexing between WFEs) • 2 WFE - 2 SQL (HA) • 3 WFE - 2 SQL • 3 WFE – 1 WFE/(WSS Search) * - 2 SQL • Consider failover farm… (Db Mirroring or SQL Log Ship) .. 20. 12 WFE 4 - 2 Node SQL (A/P)

30. MOSS Modular Scale Out • ALL in One (SQL or SQL Express (basic)) • 1 WFE/Query/Calc/Index, 1 SQL • 1 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 WFE/Calc/Index – 1 SQL * • 2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 1 SQL • 2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL (HA) • 2 WFE/Query, 1 Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL • Consider failover farm… (Db Mirroring or SQL Log Ship) 20. 10 WFE/Calc, 3 Query, 1 Index, 3 - 2 Node SQL (A/P) Never put Query and Index on same server if there is another Query server.

31. New Server Topology Roles • Query = Search • Calculation = Excel Services Calculation Server • Special Servers: • WFE Only (for security/internet) • Dedicated WFE for Indexing (optimizing perf) • Dedicated WFE/Index * (verify the host file) • WSS Search Server (special) • Non SharePoint Servers in the Topology • Mail (SMTP) (Outbound and/or Inbound) • Project, Analysis, Reporting

32. Supporting Infrastructure • SMTP/Exchange • DNS/DCs (recommend 1 DC per 3 WFEs on Windows Auth) or LDAP servers • Load balancing devices and Network Infra • Firewall – ISA: Secure Web Publishing/Cache and Firewall • Whale Security/Delegated Auth Devices • Antivirus Infra – Forefront Management • SAN or other Shared Storage • Related Farms • Failover/ DR Farm (Log Shipping/Db Mirroring) • Dev/Test • Support for Virtualization with Virtual Server • Staging/UAT & Authoring environments

33. Summary • Be sure to PLAN your logical infrastructure & Governance • Topologies are Flexible • Scalable Business Solutions are Limitless • Awesome/Powerful Intranet, Extranet, and Internet Platform! • Where do you get your information?
