Fundamental Principle #2Servers Have Services are Are Roles
Servers have RolesWeb Front End (WFE)QueryCalculation (Excel)Index(Non SharePoint) Database Server
Simplified Really Just 3 RolesWFE/Query – 99%Index (App Tier)SQL
Note: Never put Query and Index on same server if there is another Query server!

Deployment InstallKey concepts
32 bit or 64bit binaries**Note: SharePoint 2010 requires 2008 64bit & 64bit SQL 2005 or 2008
InstallBasic NOT RECOMMENDED except for POCAdvanced – Allows you to connect to SQL
WFE only vs. Full installLanguage Packs (Downloads on the Web)

Key Factors in TopologyUsage
# UsersSolution (The answer before the question)
Authentication Type (Anonymous vs. AD)Caching Offload devices
Business & Tech RequirementsClient & Server Performance RequirementsSLAs (Uptime/High Availability Req.)WAN Considerations (Multi farm)
DataGBs/TBs of data Total # Files and Items (rare)
SharePoint in common…LOLCATS.COM
Microsoft Confidential
Fundamental Principle #3You MUST learn the difference between site and site
collection despite the confusion.
Site = Web = Spweb aka subwebSTSADM = WebUI=site
Site Collection = SpSiteSTSADM = SiteCentral Admin = SiteUI= Site Collection
•Basic Install (BAD!)•All On C Drive•No Backup•Restore Complexity
Server•All One site collection•Not Configured: Quota, Expiration, Auditing, Versions, Workflows, Meta Data capture•All items view default (flat)
List and Site Collection
•One database•Db config (log and db location)•No maintenance plan
Database
Defaults have Faults
Microsoft Confidential
POP QUIZ!!!! What is the most scalable object in SharePoint?
Site Collection
Can I run WFE and Query on one box and WFE Query Index on another?
NO!
Is a default basic install good enough to get started?
No!
Is Virtualization and SharePoint ok?
Yes!
Microsoft Confidential
WooHoo! You Pass SharePoint
Fundamentals– The New World
Containment Hierarchy
Joel's Cheat Sheet for HostingDedicated
Farm(s)•Ideal for applications such as Project Server, Performance Point, BDC applications, CRM, Sales SAP/Siebel and Finance Solutions built on SharePoint•Great for staged deployments i.e. dev, test, authoring to production
Web App •Ideal for point solutions, Records Management, for Legal Holds, department solutions, and groups of site collections•Memory isolation and separate SSP such as Search Solutions
Site Collection •Support 100s-100K+ sites•Ideal for Collaborative environments including intranets, Projects, extranets•Document Management where scale is into +TBs
Sites •Information and aggregation Portals such as Intranets•WCM Internet sites with page libraries

Plan for Software BoundariesPlan your lists and libraries
Throughput differences between flat document library vs. document library with folders
#8 SharePoint Common Mistakes
Operations and IT Failures
•Poor configuration (Not planned - defaults)•Insufficient RAM and Disk allocationServer•Poor choice of Site vs. Site Collection Structure•Flat Lists•One Content Database
Information Architecture
•Poor Network between WFEs and SQL•No plan for WAN (User complaints without answers)Network•No Backup•Emergency: No Restore plan or steps•Disaster Recovery – More like Disaster
OperationalBackup/Restore
