Internet Explorer. SharePoint 2013 supports several commonly used web browsers, such as Explorer, Google

Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. However, certain web browsers could cause some SharePoint 2013 functionality to be downgraded, limited, or available only through alternative steps.

Supported: Internet Explorer 11, Internet Explorer 10, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 8

Fine-tuning NetworkLatency between SharePoint Server and SQL Server should be less than 1msHost all the servers in the same datacenter. /!\ If the datacenter has a problem, your SharePoint farm can be down /!\Don’t use Network Load Balancing (NLB), but a real load balancer like

VLANs can provide significant throughput gains: • VMs on the same VLAN can communicate through the

virtual switch, network traffic is faster because it does not have to use the physical network adapter.

• As it’s software-based, a virtual machine can easily be moved between hosts and still keeps its network configuration.

Reduce I/O

System, Log and Index files should be on separate disks.• C: System• G: Index• H: Logs

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SQL Server

Physical vs Virtual– Easier to scale up & down– Hyper-V Cluster in Windows Server 2012

will allow you to easily move machines between hosts when there are updates or problems

– Can be easier to recover at DR. You're not in the position to reload the OS, reload SQL Server

Fine-tuning SQL ServerSmall Farm Deployment (0-500GB of Data)

Dedicated SQL Server For optimal performance when operating server farms, we recommend that you install SQL

Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and SQL Server 2012 on a dedicated server that is not running other roles of farm and n 'not host databases for other applications

Dedicated InstanceNamed SQL Instance (do not use the default)

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SQL ServerCreate your Databases with PoSH

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SQL Server• Use a dedicated search instance >

10’000’000 items • Antivirus: Exclude data files, transaction

logs and backup files from real-time scan• Install only features and components you

need. SharePoint only requires: Database Engine Services

• Do not enable Statistics

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SQL Server• Set min. and max. Server

– /!\ Total amount memory x 0,80 /!\ The default value of SQL Server for Maximum Memory is : 2147483647 MB

• Maximum fill factor per index (80%)

• Activate backup compression– It’s faster and needs less disks space

• Max Degree of Parallelism (MAXDOP) = 1– Prerequisite for SharePoint 2013

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM


• NFTS Allocation Unit Size: 64K– SQL reads and writes 64K at a time, but your disk allows

only 4K by default. This change alone may show you up to 30% improvement in speed.

– “chkdsk c:”

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM


• It is highly recommended to use RAID 10 for your databases because RAID 5 has a bad write performance.

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM


• Model DatabaseEvery time a new Content Database is created

by SharePoint to store your Web Application, SQL uses the information in the Model Database to create it.

Initial Size:This will help performance, as SQL won’t have to constantly ask for more space to store data.

Auto Growth:Do not keep the default value which is 1 MB. When a document of 5 MB is uploaded, it

means there are 5 Autogrowth which are activated. In fact, there are 5 allocations of space which must slow your system.

Moreover, your uploaded document will be fragmented across your different data files. This configuration will decrease your performance a second time.

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SQL ServerData prioritization among faster disks (descending)

– Temp DB data files– Temp DB logs– Content DB logs– Search DB data files– Content DB data files– Search DB logs– SharePoint data files– SharePoint logs

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (architecture)• Content Databases shouldn’t be more than

200GB– Backup / Restore– Operational tasks

• 5000 Site collections per Content Database• 10 Application Pools (can be extended depending

hardware)• 20 web Applications per SharePoint Farm• Don’t use the Product Configuration Wizard

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (settings)• Set Quotas on all Web Applications• Disable Certificate Revocation List• Authentication– Anonymous, Claims, Kerberos, NTLM, Forms,

ADFS• Wake-Up• Only extend if you have a different

authentication protocol.

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Search)• Distribute the load on multiple crawl

servers• Throttle crawling, adjust crawling

schedule• Incremental vs continuous crawl• Content sources

– Group by

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Search)

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server caching• Distributed Cache

– 5% of RAM is used for Newsfeed, Microblogging etc..

• Object Cache ( SuperUser, SuperReader)

• Client Cache (Websites with CSS, Javascript)

• Output cache (caches SC, Publishing features)

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Resource-intensive Service Applications)

• Excel Service Application • Search Service Application• Usage and Health Data collection• User Profile Service Application

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Performance killer)• Application Pool Recycle && IISReset• Crawl Jobs (continuous crawl)• Backup Jobs• Large list operations

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning PowerShell• Try to avoid –Force– Use the Force switch only for fixing

broken deployments of SharePoint Packages. Not only it makes SharePoint stop affected Application Pools but also it prevents you from seeing errors should there be any.

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning PowerShell• Scope your Solutions with PoSH– When a solution is deployed globally, all

SharePoint application pools, including Central Administration’s, are recycled automatically. This can be good and bad. This is good because any GAC installed DLL that has been upgraded needs to be reloaded. This can be bad though with regards to the availability of your entire SharePoint Farm.

CDN

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

SharePoint Online bandwidth usage• Web Based File upload and download• SharePoint Web site usage is small in

comparison• Sync client is the main bandwidth user• OneDrive for Business initial sync traffic

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

SharePoint Online Images• Keep them small

– Compress images before uploading them to SharePoint

• Reduce download sizes– Minify all JavaScript and CSS assets

• Reduce the number of HTTP requests– Bundle static assets together to reduce HTTP requests– Deliver static content via CDN’s if possible– Parallelize downloads across multiple hostnames

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Fine-tuning Office 365• Use Netmon to capture traffic and size usage on

specific machines• Use monitors on Internet gateway routers to measure total

bandwidth usage• Keep track of Internet capacity headroom over time as a

standard infrastructure monitor• Use an Office 365 pilot to measure actual usage and create

a baseline from that• Actual Internet capacity requirement will be previous usage

plus expected SharePoint Online usage

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Troubleshooting performance process• Network Capture tool

• Netmon• WireShark• TCPDump• Microsoft Message Analyzer

• Application Level tools• HTTPWatch• Fiddler

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Summary

• Performance -, it depends• Other platforms also matters• SharePoint is fast, but depends many

about others• You can improve, improve and

improve
