6 specific workloads in SharePoint

New features and tools for ITPros.

3 broad areas:

  1. Server usage & performance insight
    1. Central Admin
      Cleaner layout. Ribbon.
    2. SharePoint Best Practice Analyzer (BPA)
      Monitoring – health status. Potential issues (rule based – that’s where best practices analyzer comes in) and resolutions. Automatically fix issues (configuration). Extensible rules and perhaps you can get these from your friends!
    3. Logging & Reporting
      SQL log repository – all into SQL!!! – customizable and extensible so you can add your own events. Plus reports. Database schema will be opened up so you can build your own reports. WOW – that’s cool. Solves a lot of customer issues I know of! Plus you can now narrow down issues caused by Custom web-apps with less pain.
  2. Scale-up & scale out (enhancement)
    1. Management controls for large lists
      Helps manage the views on lists. Admins have a hassle free existance, but users can take advantage of how to manage views to throttle lists. Web-app level control for throttles. Could cause confusion if an untrained Admin has a look at the site
    2. Backup & restore
      ”unattached” content database management. export and browse, import to a site collection.
  3. Flexible deployment (on premise, hosted, etc.)
    1. Visual Upgrade
      Detach db from MOSS 2007 and attach it to 2010 farm. 2007 look and feel remains intact. All new features will be available, but the UI will remain the same.  You can “preview new visuals” – so
      1. if you’re worried your UI will scare everyone, you can move without switching any of the new features on for users.
      2. If you’re starting to feel comfy, then you can give users the new UI, but with the 2007 mode, so no 2007 incompatible changes can be made
      3. Now you’re in full-blown 2010 mode where all 2010 features and UI are available (as per permissions, of course!)
