Deploying and Managing SharePoint 2010

09/09/2011

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is the server platform for Office, and if you need to go beyond simple file shares, SharePoint adds great value and an amazing range of features. Unfortunately it also adds complexity, making careful planning and deployment essential for success.

SharePoint 2010 is a big improvement over previous versions, especially for custom development, but Microsoft still has work to do in streamlining management and deployment and improving certain aspects such as offline support through SharePoint WorkSpace.

Microsoft’s documentation for planning and deploying SharePoint is very long and detailed. SharePoint is complex and has many dependencies, which is why it belongs on its own server or servers, and should not be combined with other server functions except in the context of Microsoft’s Small Business Server which is designed for this.

Resilience and backup are key considerations, as a SharePoint deployment generally becomes business-critical immediately. SharePoint is 64-bit only, and is resource hungry, so it pays to specify generous hardware.

Key Planning Questions

Some key questions to consider when planning your site content are:

  • Which SharePoint features will you use?
  • How will the content be sub-divided?
  • Who should have what permissions?
  • What are the compliance considerations?
  • Will the deployment include custom applications?
  • If you will be using social media features like discussions, status updates, wikis and blogs, then what usage guidelines need to be put in place?
