Agenda

A Day in the Life of A SharePoint AdminPlanning – Services, Hosting, Authentication, MirroringOperating – Throttling, Reporting, Improved Central Admin UI Maintenance – PowerShell, Import, Export, Unattached RecoveryOptimization – Performance, Health Rules, Dev Dashboard!

Planning Architecture Changes

Search architecture changes – FAST!Better Search ScalabilityRedundant for Indexing – Integrated no longer single point of failure

SharePoint 2010 Search ScalabilityMultiple Dedicated Web ServersMultiple Dedicated Query ServersMultiple Dedicated Crawl Servers, with multiple Crawl DBs to increase parallelization of the crawl processMultiple distributed Index partitions (max of 10 million items per index partition)Two query components for each Index partition, spread among servers

High-Availability across Hosts

All components virtualized

Uses only two Windows Ent Edition Licenses

Virtualized Farm ArchitectureFully Redundant Farm with only Two Servers

Early Beta Guidance64-bit Servers only! Enabling 2010 features will require more power!Dedicate SQL power to Logging DB and Web AnalyticsRecommended Hardware Requirements*:

WFE and Apps Servers** - Dual processor, 8 GB RAMSQL Server** - Quad Core, 16 GB RAM

Recommended Software RequirementsClient – IE7 (IE8 preferred) / Fire Fox 3.5/ Safari for Mac browsers 64-bit Windows Server 2008 (or 2008 R2)64-bit SQL Server 2008 R2, 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL

* These is initial guidance and is subject to change** Recommended requirements to hold a production deployment

Performance

Large List throttling - web app level control how users query and view data, set throttle controls on number of items returnedDeveloper Dashboard – Identify slow and resource intensive components on any page where they are rendered DB queriesSharePoint Workspace – Differencing Algorithm

Configurable List Throttling

And Thresholds

You control when and how

much!

List throttling controls forces end users to create more efficient views with < x number of items.
