Sharepoint 2010: Practical Architecture from the Field
- 1. Sharepoint 2010: Practical Architecture from the Field Tihomir Ignatov contact@sugbg.org
- 2. Session Objective(s): Recognize the importance of having a detailed understanding of the different SharePoint deployment models and options Understand the implications of the different options, and the ramifications and consequences of each Focus on choosing the appropriate option for our customers based on their business and technical requirements Take away(s): Truly successful architecture design for SharePoint requires both broad and deep technology skills, essentially requiring an understanding of both IT Pro and Development aspects Session Objectives and Takeaways
- 3. Architecture in Sharepoint Deployments Deployment Architecture Network Architecture Enterprise architecture Server architecture Permission architecture Cloud architecture Infrastructure architecture Deployment Architecture Software Architecture Data architecture Information architecture Business architecture
- 4. To build application that satisfies the business and IT requirements Choosing appropriate technical solution based on the requirement and the maturity of the team involved Sharepoint Architecture – What is it for?
- 5. Architecture is Making ideas real “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” -Albert Einstein
- 6. Always use best practices (BP) when is possible Adapt your design to the business requirements Do not hesitate to jump over the BP if is reasonable, but leave a track why (document it) Always weigh out the business requirements against feature TCO (complexity, time, resources, price, etc.) Say “NO” to your client, when the feature is expensive and low business impact Best Practices vs. Real World
- 7. Supportability Use only SUPPORTED scenarios for customization and configuration Do not use Quick & Dirty approach for production What is supported? Ask for supportability!
- 8. Boundaries are absolute limits that cannot be exceeded by design. Thresholds are those that have a default value that cannot be exceeded unless the value is modified. Supported limits define the tested value for a given parameter. Limits Thresholds and supported limits guidelines are determined by performance.

- 10. Capacity is directly affected by scalability If your solution plans exceed the recommended guidelines Evaluate the solution to ensure that compensations are made in other areas. Flag these areas for testing and monitoring as you build your deployment. Redesign or partition the solution to ensure that you do not exceed capacity guidelines. Take Into Account…

- 14. Is the Sharepoint a business critical application? Try to define SLA and down time – cost, operations, reliability From scalability and capacity to availability Database availability strategies – clustering or mirroring?

Editor's Notes
- Boundaries are absolute limits that cannot be exceeded by design. It is important to understand these limits to ensure that you do not make incorrect assumptions when you design your farm.An example of a boundary is the 2 GB document size limit; you cannot configure SharePoint Server to store documents that are larger than 2 GB. This is a built-in absolute value, and cannot be exceeded by design. Thresholds are those that have a default value that cannot be exceeded unless the value is modified. Thresholds can, in certain circumstances, be exceeded to accommodate variances in your farm design, but it is important to understand that doing so may impact the performance of the farm as well as the effective value of other limits.The default value of certain thresholds can only be exceeded up to an absolute maximum value. A good example is the document size limit. By default, the document size limit is set to 50MB, but can be changed to a maximum value of 2 GB. Supported limits define the tested value for a given parameter. The default values for these limits were defined by testing, and represent the known limitations of the product. Exceeding supported limits may cause unexpected results, significant performance degradation, or other detrimental effects. Some supported limits are configurable parameters that are set by default to the recommended value, while others relate to parameters that are not represented by a configurable value.An example of a supported limit is the number of site collections per Web application. The supported limit is 500,000, which is the largest number of site collections per Web application that met performance benchmarks during testing. It is important to note that many of the limit values provided in this document represent a point in a curve that describes an increasing resource load and concomitant performance degradation as the value increases. Therefore, exceeding certain limits, such as the number of site collections per Web application, may only result in a fractional decrease in farm performance. However, in most cases, operating at or near an established limit is not a best practice, as acceptable performance and reliability targets are best achieved when a farm’s design provides for a reasonable balance of limits values.Thresholds and supported limits guidelines are determined by performance. In other words, you can exceed the default values of the limits, but as you increase the limit value, farm performance and the effective value of other limits may be affected. Many limits in SharePoint Server can be changed, but it is important to understand how changing a given limit affects other parts of the farm.
