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 IISWSS 2.0 / SPS 2003 WSS 3.0 / SharePoint Server Web Sites Virtual Servers Web Applications 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) SSP Admin Central 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. EISH - Surprise Test!!!! What is an IIS Virtual Server/Web Site? 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

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

25. FARMS!!!!

26. 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 Key concepts

27. 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

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

29. 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

30. WSS Modular Scale Out 1.ALL in One (Windows Internal Database Engine) 2.1 WFE - 1 SQL 3.2 WFE - 1 SQL (Split Indexing between WFEs) 4.2 WFE - 2 SQL (HA) 5.3 WFE - 2 SQL 6.3 WFE – 1 WFE/(WSS Search) * - 2 SQL 7.Consider failover farm… (Db Mirroring or SQL Log Ship).. 20. 12 WFE 4 - 2 Node SQL (A/P)

31. MOSS Modular Scale Out 1.ALL in One (SQL or SQL Express (basic)) 2.1 WFE/Query/Calc/Index, 1 SQL 3.1 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 WFE/Calc/Index – 1 SQL * 4.2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 1 SQL 5.2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL (HA) 6.2 WFE/Query, 1 Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL 7.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.

32. 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

33. 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

34. Summary Be sure to PLAN your logical infrastructure & Governance Topologies are Flexible Scalable Business Solutions are Limitless Awesome/Powerful Intranet, Extranet, and Internet Platform!
