Very important! We just published a white paper that thoroughly explains capacity planning in SharePoint. A preview of the Executive Summary: Since some core elements of SharePoint can be difficult to reconfigure once a SharePoint implementation is live, it is really important to plan ahead. Whether a company or organization is looking to implement SharePoint as a departmental solution or as an enterprise solution, planning the SharePoint technical infrastructure is essential to making the project a success. It may be tempting to just have a member of the IT staff set up a server, install MOSS 2007 and go from there. While this approach may work for a demonstration environment to show others how MOSS 2007 works, it is not advisable to use this method (or the demonstration environment) for a productionSharePoint environment. This paper addresses key elements of infrastructure and capacity planning when setting up a SharePoint environment. Since each SharePoint implementation tends to be unique, this paper will not go into details regarding server‐specific specifications, etc. It will, however, describe the following: - Each server’s purpose in the farm - Farm implementation types - Farm architecture alternatives - Capacity planning Click here to download the full paper: <a href="http://www.risetime.com/aboutus/whitepapers/Pages/New%20White%20Paper%20Request.aspx?requestId=7">http://www.risetime.com/aboutus/whitepapers/Pages/New%20White%20Paper%20Request.aspx?requestId=7</a>
