bad untested, unsupported code - Unreliable support

- Lack of Growth Usage Reporting
- No Communication
- No security audits or security policies

16Building a Service Offering
- At what level do I enable self service?
- Where do I want IT to Step In.
- What quota should I allow?
- How will data or sites be expired?
- How will I provide search or browse?
- What customizations/dev will I allow?
- How will I manage and support the adhoc
unstructured collaboration?
IT Provisioned Larger Quota Permanent
Supported Dev env. Charge Back
Self Service Smaller Quota Quicker

19Common Questions
- How much hardware do we need?
- Should we implement a server farm?
- Do we need SQL Server?
- How much data can we store?
- How many users can our environment support?
- How many sites can we run on our servers?
- How do we validate our design?
- What tools can we use to measure performance?
20Plan for Software BoundariesObject Categories
- Site Objects
- Site Collections, Web sites, documents, document
libraries, list items, document file size, etc. - People Objects
- User profiles, security principals, etc.
- Search Objects
- Search indexes, Indexed documents
- Logical Architecture Objects
- Shared Services Providers, Site Collections,
Content Databases, Zones, etc. - Physical Objects
- Servers Index, Web FE, Database, Application,
etc.
21Product Considerations
- Site Collection Max and Recommended Sizes
- Database Max and Recommended Sizes
- Backup and Operations Considerations
- Server Throughput Considerations
- User Type Considerations
- Authentication Considerations

- Content stored and managed in a single site,
library or list - Examples
- Document Center
- Report Center
- News Center
- Partner Information Center
- Product Library
- Strengths
- Centralized management
- Rich data presentation
- Best findability
- Weaknesses
- Scaling requires oversight
- Not easy to delegate administration
- Too much content leads to poor usability

- Content stored in individually managed sites
within a single site collection - Enables sub-sites to manage and administer site
and content separately - Examples
- Project Sites
- Divisional Sites
- Functional Sites
- Team Collaboration Sites
- Strengths
- Good content rollup and navigation options
- Centralized but delegated management
- Site autonomy
- Good findability
- Weaknesses
- No central location for all items
- Too much depth can lead to poor usability

30Distributed Content
- Content stored in many independently managed
servers or site collections across the enterprise - Examples
- MSW, ITWeb, Office, SharePoint
- Strengths
- Total flexibility for site owners
- Unlimited scale
- Separate security models
- Geographical distribution
- Separate backup/restore models
- Weaknesses
- No rollup
- Difficult to centrally manage
- Disjointed navigation
- Difficult to locate content
31Content Types
- A re-usable collection of settings you can apply
to a category of content. - Site List Content Types
- Multiple types per list or library
- Hierarchical
