... Read MoreOrganizations are increasingly turning to Microsoft SharePoint as an online collaboration platform and content repository. For those with a geographically distributed workforce, a decision needs to be made between deploying a single, centralized SharePoint server farm or multiple, distributed SharePoint servers and farms. Though use of a centralized architecture allows for simpler administration, often inadequate network connectivity or capacity can result in sub-optimal application response times, leading to decreased end-user collaboration, lower adoption rates, and ultimately reduced ROI for the platform. Deploying a distributed farm architecture ensures swift application response and a satisfying user experience, but often collaboration suffers because users have no efficient means to share digital assets with users on other farms. This content ‘stove-piping’ hinders productivity, and ultimately leads, again, to reduced ROI for the platform.
Overcoming this apparent impasse requires an intelligent and robust SharePoint geo-replication strategy that lets organizations enjoy the benefits of both architectures, without suffering their shortcomings. This session will first review key considerations for architecting a SharePoint deployment for geo-disbursed users, then identify best practices for delivering continuous data access via intelligent replication of SharePoint content, securities, and configurations.

... Read MoreWhile Microsoft SharePoint has rapidly become the preferred platform for team collaboration, day to day administrative activities remain complex and time consuming. SharePoint administrators are often burdened with managing complex operations and configurations, affecting their productivity and ability to more effectively meet the demands of their businesses. Among some of the frustrations and most challenging tasks include:
- IT’s lack of visibility into rogue SharePoint environments sprawling across an enterprise, limiting the ability to monitor system health and server topology
- A decentralized settings administration interface, resulting in extensive configuration management tasks that are often prone to error
- Difficulty in managing users, securities, and access permissions
This session discusses the importance of controlling the deployment of operations and application across a sprawling environment. Join us for an engaging and informative webinar, and learn about key considerations for security and global control, such as permissions deployment, usage and storage monitoring, and the need for successful management and truly centralized administration of SharePoint.
