How do I setup SharePoint 2013 web applications for 2 TB of data?

Hi,
I know Microsoft recommend to have 1 App pool with 1 Web App and 1 Content Database. 
The issue is that in my company SharePoint is going to be a file repository with about 2 TB of data. Management wants that to happen. 
I was thinking to have 1 App pool and about 18 Web App for each department so that it can hold all that data with a maximum of 200 GB per Content DB in 2 SQL clustered servers. 
Is that OK? Is this best practices?

Chicho84,
Yes, in SharePoint it is suggested to not allow to grow content DB more than 200 GB. Now will your environment starts with 2TB (after migration) or it will steadyly migrate eventually 2TB data. If so that you can think of Host heard site collection with
individual content db.
I am sure that you know that SharePoint is not only a DMS but also come with variety of useful service like Search, Workflow, Forms, Social etc. Thease all are going to be a important tool in your organisation. So planing for other services and hardware
is also very important.
These are few links which you can refer as starting point :

  • Can not specify the SMTP server port, username and password for my SharePoint 2013 web application

    We have our SMTP server under port number 141 and we should add username and password. but inside SharePoint 2013, I can only define the SMTP server name , from email, reply-to . But there are not fields to define the port number , the username and password.
    So can anyone advice from where I can define the port number and other field settings for the SMTP server ?

  • Can not restart Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application after stopping

    All, thanks for any help.
    I have a SP2010 instance running and am in the process of adding custom web parts, activities, and timer jobs.  As part of troubleshooting an odd problem where my code did not seem to be getting updated on deployments, I decided to try restarting the
    Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in Central Administration/Services on Server.  It stopped well enough, but on restart it now fails with the error "Expression must evaluate to a node-set.
    ".  I thought it might have something to do with the updated web.config, so I took it back to the original one, but the problem still persists.  I have tried multiple PC restarts and iisresets, along with trying to start the service via the use of
    stsadm.  My SP2010 instance is deployed on a Windows Vista box for testing.  I have successfully deployed this very same custom timer job to that very box in the past; it just won't deploy now and the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
    constantly shows "error starting" on the Services on Server page.
    As a result I can no longer deploy timer jobs - they deploy but never show up Central Administration after deployment, and never execute.  Can anyone tell me how to get Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to restart?
    ~Thanks!

    Old post, but in case others come across this. From:
    http://sharepointumar.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/restart-microsoft-sharepoint-foundation-web-application-service-stuck-at-stopping/comment-page-1/#comment-146
    Stop it by running:
    $svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
    $svc.Status = "Offline"
    $svc.Update()
    And then start:
    $svc = Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -like "*Foundation Web*"}
    $svc.Status = "Online"
    $svc.Update()
    Optionally, you may need to run (I didn't):
    $wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://webAppUrl
    $wa.ProvisionGlobally()

  • Scale out sharepoint server search to index server and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to new server

    Hi
    in my single server these below service are running:
    SharePoint Server Search 
    User Profile Service 
    Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
    here how i scale out  Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application  to another server
    and  SharePoint Server Search  to new index server.
    adil

    Check here to see how to add servers to the farm:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx
    What Inderjeet meant was that if you chose to install SharePoint as a single server instead of a complete farm, you won't be able to add servers to the farm at a later time. You can check if this is the case by checking the registry key he mentioned. If
    that is indeed the case, there's nothing to it but reinstall the farm.
    So that is why you never should choose the single server option, it locks you in and limits future options, while choosing to install sharepoint as a complete farm it's still perfectly acceptable to host it on a single server.

  • SharePoint 2013 web service: Error while sending claim based authentication request (The corresponding SID in the domain is not part of the intended account type)

    Server was unable to process request. ---> The corresponding SID in the domain is not part of the intended account type.
    When the service is accessed using console application with Visual Studio credentials (logged in user), we are able to access the service. Below is the code snippet

    Are SharePoint 2013 web services not supporting request coming with claim based authentication web application?

  • SharePoint Foundation Web Application service "missing"

    Hi all,
    I've got an unusual situation. I was getting an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when trying to create a web application which was a little concerning.
    Although I've not got to the bottom of that yet I've discovered that the SharePoint Foundation Web Application service is "missing" when I go to the list of Services on Server in Central Admin. It's only a small farm (1 app and 1 web server) with
    the service running on the web server. 
    It must actually be running because the existing SharePoint sites are running, but obviously something's not right.
    Has anyone ever seen this happen before?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the replies
    I've run Install-SPService but that's not made any difference.
    When I run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard (GUI), on the first screen (Modify server farm settings) it's showing the
    correct database server and configuration database name and "Do not disconnect from this server farm" is selected by default.
    On the next screen (Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application) it looks like I'm configuring a new because it wants me to specify a port for central admin. If I specify the existing central admin port then I get "The port specified
    has already been chosen". If I don't specify the port then it appears that if I continue Central Admin will be re-provisioned on a new port. 
    "False" is returned for the command  (get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade 
    Could running psconfig from the command line fix this? If there's an issue I don't want to make things worse (although we are running in a VMware environment so I can snapshot the servers).
    Thanks.

    "Reap what you sew"

    some parts of that are doable using non-advanced skills, but
    will be difficult and unwieldly if there are more than a few
    colors/patterns.
    saving the image to the server is a bit more advanced and
    you're going to need some server-side scripting like php, perl, asp
    etc. in addition to some flash programming ability.

    Hi Rajakrishnan17
    1. Your question is more suited for Windows Server forum, not for Windows 7.
    2. What you try to achieve cannot be configured with out-of-the-box features in Windows 7.
    3. You may try to see if Network LoadBbalancing (NLB) feature in Windows Server 2008 and later fits your requirements.
