This is a level 200 overview!

Flexible Deployment

SharePoint 2010System Requirements

SharePoint 2010 will be 64-bit only. 64-bit Windows Server 2008 SP2 or R264-bit SQL Server 2008 or 2005.

32-bit SQL Server is not supportedSharePoint Server 2007 SP2 required for upgradeBrowser changes, more support, but not for IE6

It’s 64-bit everything.

Flexible DeploymentPre-Upgrade Checker

SharePoint 2010 Pre-Upgrade CheckerShips with SharePoint Server 2007 SP214+ rules to find potential upgrade issues

Informational: e.g. Servers in farm, Data sizeError: e.g. Orphaned sites, DB schema modificationsExtensible rule set for 3rd parties and MSFT

Does NOT write anything to the live databaseProvides links to KB’s to fix various issues

Useful also as a 2007 Farm health check tool

Installation Governance & Simplicitydemo

Flexible DeploymentUpgrade Options

In-Place UpgradeUpgrades existing databases and serversSimplest approach but incurs farm downtimeSuitable for small or single server deployments

Database Attach and UpgradeSharePoint Server 2007 farm remains availableOnly moves content, no configuration settingsSuitable for large deployments and new H/W

Flexible Deployment Upgrade Improvements

In-Place upgrade experience improvedIn-Place Upgrade will be re-startable

Improved Content DB attach performanceUpgrade multiple DB’s in parallel

Clearer logging & reportingIncluding progress reporting

Upgrade automatic fix-up capabilityNew pre upgrade checking tools

Flexible Deployment Visual Upgrade

No post upgrade change to site look & feelDefault upgrade behaviorPrevents “mixed version” sitesSite or farm admin can choose when to switchFlip between existing and new UINew UI is “pinned” if/when it’s customized

Not an excuse for poor planningNot intended to be a long term solution

Scalable Infrastructure

Scalable InfrastructureList Resource Governors

Protect the server from malfunctioning usersAct as a “circuit breaker”

By default if >5000 items will be returned for a specific view the request is “handled”

Error message will provide actionable guidanceDifferent scenarios, different approach

Managed such as records managementMetadata navigation

Unmanaged such as a list on a users MySiteList views

Large Listsdemo

Scalable InfrastructureServer Resource Governors

Web & Web Service request throttlingBased on a set of configurable parametersIf exceeded Returns 503 – Server BusyAvoids throttling “Interactive user sessions”

Control specific User AgentsRobots for example

Sandboxed SolutionsBased on a usage quotaSolution disabled if quota exceeded

Sandboxed Solutionsdemo

New Services ArchitectureScalable Infrastructure

Service platform built into SharePoint FoundationIndividual Service ApplicationsConsumers only use the service(s) they needWorks inter-farm and cross-farmPartitioned and non-partitioned services

Share or partition data across consumers (i.e. tenants) of the service

Delegated administration modelPublic API to create 3rd party Services

Scalable InfrastructureScale Up and Out

Scale UpLists tested up to 50M items SharePoint Search tested up to 100M itemsSQL Tuning

Scale OutSQL File Groups Supported for Content DBsDedicated Service Application databasesPartitioned Search databaseDedicated WFE’s for timer jobs, workflow, more.New Search topologies (plus FAST)

Backup, Restore & RecoveryScalable Unified Infrastructure

Central Admin Site collection, Site or List Backup and RestoreUnattached Database Content Recovery

No recovery farm neededMove Site Collections between Content DB’s and Farms (Can do some of this SP2 today)Configuration settings only back up

Support for Read Only DB’s (In SP2)UI trimmed appropriately

Unattached Content DB Restoredemo

Server Patch ManagementScalable Infrastructure

Mixed build version Farms supportedWFE’s can be N+1 with database on NUpgrade database after WFE’sN = build version, not product version

Significantly reduces patching downtimeMirrored & ReadOnly DB’s help even more

More predictable and flexible

High AvailabilityScalable Infrastructure

Full Support for SQL Server MirroringAutomatic failoverFailover at a Content DB level

Read only Content DB’s“Log shipped” DB could provide live DR Farm

Backup/Restore of Configuration SettingsSimplifies Disaster Recovery Farm configuration management

Continued Support for Virtualization

Content StorageScalable Infrastructure

New Protocol for client/server file I/OCore Storage Infrastructure

Cached – Only download file if changedDifferential – Only save changes in the fileChunking – Get slide 10 of a .pptx first

Remote/External Blob StorageRemote Blob Storage (RBS) (Recommended)

Requires SQL 2008/SharePoint 2010 and RBS driverExternal Blob Storage (EBS)

Requires SharePoint Server 2007 SP1 and EBS driver
