Fundamental Principle #3
Servers Have Services are Are RolesServers have Roles
Web 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

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
Fundamental Principle #3
You 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
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! (Even be careful with proof of concept.)
Is Virtualization and SharePoint ok?
Yes!
WooHoo! You Pass SharePoint Fundamentals

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

Planning for *REAL* Capacity BoundariesUnit TechNet Max Joel’s Guideline Joel’s MAX
Web Apps per Farm
8 5 Content Webapps with 8GB RAM
I recommend no more app pools than 1 per every 2GB of RAM
Databases per WebApp
- 100 per SQL server 100 or less if using DB Mirroring
Site Collection per Web App
50,000 also listed as 100,000 and 150,000 depending on ref
100,0000 150,000
Size per content database
- 100GB 1 TB with serious list and site optimization (super advanced only)
Size per Site Collection
- 15GB in multi-tenant DB100GB in dedicated DB
25GB in multi1TB in dedicated Db
Sites in Site (Web) 2000 100 200
Items per List 2000 items per view Use Custom Views, Indexed columns and search UI for large lists
I recommend view Item limit of 100 or 1000.
Plan for Software BoundariesPlan your lists and libraries
Throughput differences between flat document library vs. document library with folders
Top Performance Killers
1. Indexing/Crawling2. Backup (SQL & Tape)3. Profile Import4. Misc Timer Jobs – User Sync for large #s of
Users5. STSADM Backup/Restore6. Large List Operations7. Heavy User Operation List Import/Write

#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
Developer Failures
Ramp up/Lack of Skills
• Memory Leaks – USE SpDisposeCheck tool• Not closing Objects
• Unaware of community tools
Poor Assumptions
• Unnecessary Custom Site Defs or editing default site def• Thinking more is better• Naked assemblies and editing web.config(s) isn’t enough
Easy way rather than right way
• Skipping to production (Dev and test environment – REQUIRED!)• Wrap it up – WSP Solutions Required – WSPBuilder• Manage your source TFS!?
Business Deployment Failures
•Duplication of effort•No comm. No buy in (forced deployment)
Communication
•Lack of End User Training/Community•Lack of Help and Insight into Business processes
Culture & Adoption
•No Budget - No project or Budget cuts•No Sponsorship – Under the Radar
Budget/Sponsor
•Poorly designed taxonomy & Information Architecture•No deployment due to complex dependenciesPoor Planning
Call to Action!
Be sure to PLAN your logical infrastructure & Physical… Don’t forget a Governance Plan!
