3. We will answer the following questions*: What is a hybrid <> on-premise SharePoint cloud solution? What are the pros and cons of Office 365 SharePoint? What solution architectures, design patterns, best practices and implementation techniques are required to build hybrid solutions? Can we design for the future? * (…and probably raise many, many more…) 3

4. Any SharePoint-solution which requires connectivity between a cloud-hosted SharePoint site and on- premise data. SharePoint is arguably the best platform on-the-market for collaboration. … however - organizations will only truly receive the highest return-on-investment when they combine those capabilities with data integration. 4

17. Always use indirect access to remote data Why? Performance NIGHTMARES = Support HORROR In SP2007 this includes built-in Web Parts… RSS Viewer = synchronous, no caching… XML Viewer = synchronous, no caching… (Thank-fully fixed in SP2010) 17

18. Caching Patterns: Local Cache On-premise Custom SharePoint Timer Job Custom Windows Server Service Scheduled Script (i.e. PowerShell … XCOPY…) Cloud AJAX Refresh Cache Script (i.e. JavaScript) Cloud Cache Azure Content Deployment Network (CDN) On-Premise Push into the CDN via Azure AppFabric Service Bus Cloud Interact with CDN URLs directly, or…. Integrate with Azure AppFabric Service Bus 18

19. Cloud Just-In-Time Proxy Pattern On-Premise SOAP, WCF, REST Web Service(s) XML/RSS/Atom/oData/JSON feeds/files Web Service(s) Cloud SOAP, WCF, REST Web Service(s) XML/RSS/Atom/oData/JSON feeds/files Web Service(s) Transparent Proxy Pattern On-Premise Caching! Monitoring! Metering! SOAP, WCF, REST Web Service(s) XML/RSS/Atom/oData/JSON feeds/files Transparent to existing applications/webparts/components once implemented Cloud Possible integrate with Cloud-based CDN technologies, service buses 19

20. Data Source Pattern Often overlooked – not perfect, however is available in either Cloud or On-Premise solutions, using… SharePoint Designer 2010 Empowers technical business analysts, site owners and power-users. Locally cached XML/RSS data files, or…. Direct, remote XML/RSS data source URLs 20

21. Web Part Anti-Pattern Ask yourself the following questions before coding any new webparts: Are you committed to memory-leak-free components (you are using SPDisposeCheck, right?)? How good are your.NET multi-threaded and/or asynchronous programming skills? Do you know all of the caching data options (and when to use each) available to components within SharePoint? Will this web part be connectable? Why not? Will the site owner/designer or end-user have the ability to re-style, modify layout or significantly modify this web part for mashups, composite or aggregate solutions? 21

22. List Synchronizer Anti-Pattern If you plan on synchronizing data from an external source to a SharePoint list, ask yourself the following questions? Why? How big is the initial load in row numbers? How much will it grow per week, month, year? How frequently will it be synchronized? Which repository is the master? How will conflicts be identified and rectified? What is your sub-folder containment strategy? IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SUB-FOLDER CONTAINMENT PLAN, THEN YOU MUST NOT SYNCHRONIZE DATA ** Sub-folders are a must for large datasets and have nothing to do with the metadata or end-user presentation of information ! ** 22

23. Federated Identities Active Directory Federated Services (AD FS) Synchronization Single-sign-on (SSO) … Otherwise … Flaky client-side authentication JavaScript AJAX, CSOM, WebDAV, etc. Or… anonymous read/write access on data libraries must be enabled … do you really want to display data which could potentially be massaged/compromised by a third-party? 23
