About This Course
This section provides you with a brief description of the course, audience,
suggested prerequisites, and course objectives.
Course Description
This five-day course focuses on how to design a Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010
infrastructure for solution architects. The course discusses the key planning
elements that you must plan to deploy a robust SharePoint 2010 solution,
including logical and physical design. You will see how to plan for specific
SharePoint 2010 infrastructure components, such as service applications and
managed metadata. You will also see how to plan business solutions, including
search and business intelligence (BI). The course includes planning advice for both
new deployments and upgrades from previous versions of Microsoft Office
SharePoint.
Audience
This course is intended for IT professionals who use Microsoft SharePoint 2010 in
a team-based, medium-sized to large environment. Although they may have
implemented a Microsoft Office SharePoint deployment, they have limited
experience of designing a SharePoint 2010 infrastructure. A typical student will
probably work as a senior administrator who acts as a technical lead over a team of
administrators. Members of this audience should have at least six months of
experience with SharePoint 2010 (including prereleased versions of the product).
Student Prerequisites
This course requires that you meet the following prerequisites:
• Experience of deployment and management of Microsoft Office SharePoint
architectures and solutions.
• Proficiency with Internet Information Services (IIS) version 7, Domain Name
System (DNS), the Active Directory® directory service, and Microsoft SQL
Server 2005® or Microsoft SQL Server 2008®, because these technologies
relate to SharePoint 2010.

• Proficiency with the infrastructure and security of Windows Server® 2008.
• Experience of business operations for IT, including data backup, restoration,
and high availability.
• Experience of Windows® PowerShell 2.0 and command-line administration.

Course Outline
This section provides an outline of the course:
Module 1, “Designing a Logical Architecture,” describes the function, components,
and creation of a logical design and explains why this design is the first stage in
any SharePoint 2010 solution.
Module 2, “Planning a Service Application Architecture,” describes the new service
application architecture in SharePoint 2010 and explains how you should plan to
deploy services across a range of farm topologies.
Module 3, “Planning for Performance and Capacity,” explains the importance of
performance and capacity planning in SharePoint 2010. It also describes how to
design a robust and high-performance deployment.
Module 4, “Designing a Physical Architecture,” describes the key components of
the physical architecture in SharePoint 2010, such as processor, memory, disk, and
network access. It reviews how best to design a hardware and software

infrastructure for each of the server types that you can deploy in a SharePoint farm.
Module 5, “Designing a Security Plan,” describes the security architecture of
SharePoint 2010 and the considerations that you must include in your security
planning. These considerations include management of security accounts,
management of users and groups, and the reasons why you should implement
secure transport protocols.
Module 6, “Planning Authentication,” discusses the available authentication
options for SharePoint 2010 and describes how to plan for these in the new,
claims-based security architecture.
Module 7, “Planning Managed Metadata,” describes the function of managed
metadata and explains how you can best use the Managed Metadata Service to
deliver business benefits.
Module 8, “Planning Social Computing,” explains how SharePoint 2010 can
deliver social computing services to an organization. It focuses particularly on the

planning that you require to deploy the User Profile Service to maximize social
computing benefits.
Module 9, “Designing an Enterprise Search Strategy,” describes the architectures
and topologies that are available when you plan to deploy enterprise search in your
organization. This includes discussions about both SharePoint 2010 search and
Microsoft FAST™ Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.

knowledge, the module helps you to plan for governance in a SharePoint 2010
farm.
Module 13, “Designing a Maintenance and Monitoring Plan,” describes the
essential principles of maintenance and monitoring and maps these against the
functionality that is available in SharePoint 2010. It then uses this framework to
identify how best to develop a maintenance and monitoring plan for SharePoint
