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

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

19
Plan for Software Boundaries

• Plan your lists and libraries

• Throughput differences between flat document
  library vs. document library with folders

Common?

FARMS!!!!
26
Deployment

• Key concepts

• 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

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
Picking Your Topology
Performance
Availability
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

• ALL in One (Windows Internal Database Engine)
• 1 WFE - 1 SQL
• 2 WFE - 1 SQL (Split Indexing between WFEs)
• 2 WFE - 2 SQL (HA)
• 3 WFE - 2 SQL
• 3 WFE 1 WFE/(WSS Search) - 2 SQL
• Consider failover farm (Db Mirroring or SQL Log
  Ship)
• ..
• 20. 12 WFE 4 - 2 Node SQL (A/P)

31
MOSS Modular Scale Out

• ALL in One (SQL or SQL Express (basic))
• 1 WFE/Query/Calc/Index, 1 SQL
• 1 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 WFE/Calc/Index 1 SQL
• 2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 1 SQL
• 2 WFE/Query/Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL (HA)
• 2 WFE/Query, 1 Calc, 1 Index, 2 SQL
• 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!
