3. Session Objectives And Takeaways
Session Objective(s):
Make It Work
Make It Fast
Make It Scale
Make It Back

4. Agenda
Capacity Planning
System Center Capacity Planner for SharePoint
Using the Capacity Planner
Capacity Planner Demo
Ensuring Performance
Content database management
IIS Management
Tune Web server performance

6. Capacity Planning
Plan around software boundaries
Plan for performance
Throughput
Farm topology
Storage

7. System Center Capacity Planner
Built-in best practices
Visual Model Editor
Ability to perform “what-if” analysis
Efficient deployment planning

8. Using the SCCP for SharePoint
Determine and input organization specific data
Inputs analyzed and topology recommended
Run simulations – “what-if” analysis
Optimize topology model
Finalize topology and generate reports

9. Tool does not handle
Extranet topologies
Authentication methods other than NTLM and
Anonymous
Forms, Excel Services, BDC, and other system
dependencies outside the core infrastructure
High-end scenarios such as multi-terabyte Web
applications or multiple Web applications

10. Capacity Planning
Using the System Center Capacity Planner 2007

11. Techniques for tuning and tracking
Making sites faster through caching and testing for throughput

12. Ensuring Performance
List Limits
Understand Alternative List Access Mechanisms
SQL Server Health Monitoring
Separate tempdb, content databases and log databases into separate
disks
Split the database to move the growing site collections to another
database or even another server (i.e. move large site collections using
stsadm -o mergecontentdbs)
Combine several site collections into one database to help with load
balancing
Align databases to contain data that is accessed in similar ways
Use multiple data files for content databases & SSP databases
Number of data files should be less than or equal to the number of core
CPUs

13. Ensuring Performance
Understand Custom IFilter Impacts
Monitor performance regularly
SCOM Mgt Packs for MOSS & WSS
SCOM Mgt Pack Web Sites & Services

14. IIS Compression
By default, when you install MOSS 2007 IIS
Compression is turned on
Hit the site and look in %WINDIR%IIS Temporary
Compressed Files
Compression is turned on primarily for static
files
Static files: htm, html, txt, js, css, htc;
Dynamic files: asp, exe, axd
You may want to also compress aspx files
NOTE: No point in compressing files that are
already compressed, like .jpg

15. Cache
Output cache
Blob cache
Object cache
Except for object cache, others turned off by
default

16. Tune Web Server Performance
Carefully configure 32-bit servers
Do not use Web gardens
Use dedicated Web servers for services that are
not exposed to end-users
Use Kerberos authentication for farms with
heavy usage
Configure application pool recycling settings for
better availability
Monitor and manage large files and libraries

17. Ensure Recovery
DPM for SharePoint + SP1
Database Mirroring + Log Shipping
Use SQL Client Aliases

18. Tracking and measuring performance

19. Tools
Fiddler
Visual Studio Team Test
SPDiag

20. Tools
Tracking changes to site performance and
throughput
Visual Studio Team Test: lets you measure the
throughput available in your site.
Fiddler: lets you examine individual requests to see
what is being downloaded on each request and
how large each item is.
Tweak settings based on what you see in Fiddler
Test again with VS.NET to check for
improvement

21. SPDiag

22. Cache settings & Fiddler

23. The End
In Summary
High Volume != Low Performance
Keep Sizing Recommendations In Mind
Robust SQL Server Infrastructure Is Key
Spread Solution Design Where Possible
Educate Customers on Concepts
Make Your Customers Successful !
