SharePoint 2013 architecture

We are planning to migrate to 2013 form 2010 soon.  When I say migration we want to build a new 2013 architecture and move site collections one by one.
Ours is small to med organization and our 2010 architecture is 1ADM, 1WFE(internal), 1 WFE(External), 1 SQL server.
Now for 2013 should we do the same? I looked in to the articles on web but still little unsure as someone said that we need a separate server for web apps. I just need some recommendation. 
@R

The architecture you've got should be fine.  But there are two new services that you need to take into account.  Frist is Office Web Apps which can't be installed on a SharePoint server like it was in 2010.  So you will need a separate server
for that.  There is also a new Workflow Manager application that supports 2013 Workflows.  This doesn't need to run on a seperate server, but you may want to use a separate server to make it easier to scale workflows up and out.

  • SharePoint 2013 Architecture Concepts Help

    I'm mainly a SharePoint 2010 administrator.  Recently I've taken on a role that requires many SharePoint hats including figuring out to architect our SharePoint 2013 environment.  I'm the only one here that knows anything about SharePoint that
    is dedicated to this project - and while I'd like to think I know a lot, I'm not an architect.  I've been researching and researching, and I have a few questions:
    - SAN? (or DAS or NAS) Is it necessary? How does this relate to the storing of databases in SQL?
    - We are going to have about 25,000 users total, 7,000 concurrent, moderate use of search, and 11 department site collections (needs to be 3 content databases to segregate data for 2 departments).  Should I follow diagrams for a medium or large farm?
    - I'm looking at the diagrams for a virtualized environment and they have more WFEs than the non-virtualized, why is this? Is there a reason why they have two servers on one host?
    - It says 500 GB for index storage, is this per database or total?  I'm used to auto-generating content databases as you configure, I've never created the database first then assigned it to the service.  Do all the search functions go into this
    single 500GB databse?
    Thank you so much for your help in advance! Please let me know if you'd like to know what I have for architecture so far...

    Depending on your needs for High Availability, some approaches require that the SQL Servers are connected to the same SAN/NAS via Fiber Channels. The idea is that your database files live on the SAN/NAS and can be served by more than one SQL Server. Therefore,
    if one SQL Server goes down for any reason, the other can step in. More information on SQL Server 2012 High Availability:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190202.aspx
    There are a lot of factors that play into deciding the topology that would best fit your use-case. Things to take into consideration include types of activities (publishing/reading or highly collaborative), response time requirements, availability requirements,
    patterns of usage (spikes and distribution). The good news is that you can convert a Medium topology into a Large topology with additional hardware when needed.
    They have two servers on a single host for redundancy in the case that 1 of the VMs goes down. With virtualization there are little arguments against taking advantage of this with very minimal trade-off in performance.
    The Search index lives on the file system and the size will highly depend on what type of content you are crawling. (Example, a Word file has a lot more data to index than a JPEG image with only the metadata). The 500GB starting point is for the farm.

  • Global Architectural design for SharePoint 2013??

    Hi Friends,
    i am trying to pursue SharePoint 2013 global Architectural design before we implement SharePoint 2013 farm. FYI, Our Current SharePoint 2010 farm is three tier farm (2 web servers + 2 App servers + cluster Sql server) and total users 1,000 and its
    located in one data center. From this farm we are serving now SP site to five different countries in the world via WAN. But as our company growing rapidly, we want share point will provide robust performance. As our company globalized, how many data center
    we will need? Can we have one centralized farm in USA and other regional SharePoint farms into different countries? According to my business scenario, what will be the best architectural design?
    Any help will be appreciated!!

    "It depends" would be the answer with the information given. It depends on how much content is accessed at any one location, if a WAN accelerator could alleviate any issues end users at the remote locations were seeing, and if the company can take on the
    added complexity, extra licensing, and hardware cost that are associated with SharePoint farms.
    It would also depend if you want to replicate content (e.g. Metalogix Replicator) or if each farm will have its own unique content targeted at the specific region.

  • SharePoint 2013 three-tier architecture

    Hi all, I am going to install SharePoint 2013 in a three-tier farm environment.
    I understand that the only difference between web server and app server is whether or not the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service application is running or not. If yes = web server, if no = app server. App server is also where
    CA is installed. Both web server and app server will have connection to DB. When web server serves web page requests from users, it will go to DB directly to get the page content.
    However, the real three-tier architecture actually means that only app server should have access to DB. Web server will get the information it needs from the app server.
    Is my understanding correct so far? Why is there a difference between three-tier architecture when it is applied in SharePoint context?

    No, all SharePoint servers directly interface with databases for services that they host (with some exceptions). 3 tier just means you have a "WFE" which end users interact with, and it doesn't matter what services are on that "WFE",
    another SharePoint server which may do the same or other things, but users don't directly interact with, and of course the SQL Server.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Servers Architecture

    Hi
    Our current architecture of SharePoint 2013 Farm is
    1. WFE server (ip - 10.10.10.10)
    2. A server which is Application server and Database server (ip - 10.10.10.11)
    3.  Application server (Central Admin) (ip - 10.10.10.12)
    Load on the site has increased tremendously (Users =5000)(concurrent users =1000 approx.), we would have to now implement a Load balancer to retain the performance of the application.
    Now the important question is CAN THIS LOAD BALANCER BE CONFIGURED BETWEEN THE WFE(ip - 10.10.10.10) AND THE Application/Database Server(ip - 10.10.10.11).
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Paru

    Regd your questions:
    1) As all its said earlier, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service should be configured and running on any server which you want to work as WFE. Other than that, you can place whatever services you like to place on WFE. Its totally
    a matter of design/architecture. You need to analyse existing resource consumption on the servers and then making a decision based on data.
    2) You can have SQL 2008 R2 SP1 for SP2013 as backend. It need to be minimum running on windows server 2008 R2 SP1.
    You may want to go through minimum software and hardware requirements for SP2013 at:

  • SharePoint 2013 Hybrid Architecture

    Hi,
      I've a requirement that my client wants to migrate their existing system into SharePoint. The existing system is web based asp.net and it contains some documents for storage and also for collaboration. Now they want to use SharePoint OOTB support
    and migrate the existing documents into SharePoint 2013. They're preferring to use SharePoint online and in some cases they want to use on-premises. Actually, they're having some confidential and non-confidential documents. They want to move non-confidential
    documents into online and confidential to on-premise. Now, I'd like to know how to design the solution. Please answer my below clarifications.
    1) Some users have access to Office 365 and some users have access to on-Premise. If the user hits the company url, how to redirect the user. Do we need to design the solution like custom code or need to configure at both environment?
    2) If user has access to both environment, Do we need to show two url's? Based on user selection, system we need to redirect the site?
    Please share your approaches...
    Balaji -Please click mark as answer if my reply solves your problem.

    I don't think "Hybrid" works the way you're thinking it does.
    Hybrid just means that SOME webapps (URLs) live out in the cloud, and SOME webapps live on-prem... and the service apps that need to cross between them (such as getting O365 search results from an on-prem server) are performed using service app connections.
    There is no magical "the same URL goes to one or the other depending on whether the user is on prem or not"
    There is no magical "files categorized as [x] are kept on O365, and files categorized as [y] are kept on-prem"

  • What will be physical architecture for SSAS Tabular model with Sharepoint 2013?

    I would like to build SharePoint 2013 based reporting portal with Power View as visualization tool.
    I have 300-800 million rows and customer puts priorities in high performance.
    Data source is SQL Server database and Flat Files.
    What will be recommended physical archicture? Is following good?
    -SQL Server database server
    -SSAS Tabular application server
    -SharePoint 2013 Front-End (multiple if needed)
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    According to your description, you want to if it's OK to SQL Server database server, SSAS tabular application server and SharePoint 2013 Front-End on different server, right?
    As I said in another thread, even though we can install all of them on same physical server, however in the production environment, the recommendation is that install them on different server, it will beneficial to troubleshooting the issue when some
    issue occur on the environment. So in your scenario, it Ok to install all the application on different server. Here are some links about requirement to install the application.

  • Cannot install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on server 2012 R2. IIS configuration error

    Hey Guys,
    I'm experiencing a problem which seems to be common considering the number of posts I've found about it, but none of the provided solutions worked for me.
    I'm simply trying to install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on a Windows Server Standard 2012 R2.
    I've downloaded from the MS Volume Licensing website the "SharePoint Server 2013 with SP1" ISO file :  SW_DVD5_SharePoint_Server_2013w_SP1_64Bit_English_MLF_X19-36118. So
    this is the slipstreamed version which is supposed to bring compatibility with 2012 R2.
    As I do not have direct access to the Internet I need to perform an offline installation. I also downloaded all prerequisities. When I run prerequisiteinstaller.exe with the necessary arguments, I get the following :
    (Full log file is below)
    I've tried the following :
    - Restarted the server multiple times
    - Manually removing/adding IIS role + restart
    - Running the prerequisiteinstaller.exe from the DVD or from an extracted version
    - Manually installing the prerequisities
    - Installed .Net 3.5 as recommended here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0b597d35-b02d-4236-894d-38efc0c7c6f6/sharepoint-2013-with-sp1-install-on-windows-server-2012-r2?forum=sharepointgeneral)
    None of the worked. So I'm stuck and I must completed the installation of this before the end of the week for an important project !
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you guys for the quick answer! Muche appreciated
    I've tried all suggested solutions, but no luck :-(
    - tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260 > no help and by the way the hotfix provided is not applicable for 2012 R2.
    also tried "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regii -enable -i" and got this :

    For the automated install script (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/DownloadInstall-SharePoint-e6df9eb8) Craig mentions that the script are not yet compatible

  • Deploying sharepoint 2013 foundation prerequisites requesting restart

    Hi, I am installing the prerequisites for sharepoint 2013 foundation with sp1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2.
    After the restart the server is trying to finish the prerequisites installation but never finishes and requires additional restarts.
    This seems similar to other people expirience:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c84732fe-a5b7-4ace-8d48-3aabc972adaa/sharepoint-foundation-2013-prerequisite-installer-keeps-installing-and-restarting-the-server?forum=sharepointadmin

    There is a KB with similar description except that it is for Windows Server 2012 and probably does not apply: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260
    I checked the installation logs - see bellow.
    The problem I think is in lines 151-224 - especialy in 166, 167

    I am lost here. Can someone help with additional ideas?
    It is strange, because the prerequisites application identifies all the prerequirements as installed (I think). But it still requires endless restarts.

    While reading the https://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/discussions/277130 in the last comment the source suspected was "WAS services". No solution was
    mentioned except clean install of Windows.
    At the first prerequisites installation I got the following two error messages, but do not know if it is related to the endless restarts problem:

  • Sharepoint 2013 RS - Adding a New "Data Source" or "Report Builder" in a Library

    Hi,
    i had the same problem. First we figured out, that the Report Builder was working in the  Root Site Collection of a Web Application but not in any other Site Collection of the WebApplication.
    After that we took a look how the Report Builder is started. The Content Type got a Click Once Application as Template, but you can't open the URL in the Browser neither the referenced file can be found in the Feature folder on the SharePoint Server. Turns
    out SharePoint does some crazy http redirection and that this doesn't work on Site Collections which are not at the root. At least if you installed Reporting Services Add In Service Pack 1.
    Fun Fact: If you start the Report Builder on the Root Site Collection you can create a Report which works on any Site Collection. Its just the launch if the Report Builder which is broken.
    Our Solution was the SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update 8 which fixed the Problem.
    You can request a download here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917531
    Select the "2012_SP1_RSShrPnt_CU8_2917531_11_0_3401_x64" Fix and install it on every SharePoint Server in your Farm.

  • Single SharePoint 2013 Farm for two geographical locations

    Dear All,
    I want your expert advise and suggestion on an "Architecture" for Deploying SharePoint 2013 in multiple geographical locations. I have read every line in article:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg441255%28v=office.15%29.aspx before posting
    this question, for the following scenario:
    Scenario:
    Two locations, say, Loc1 and Loc2.
    SharePoint Farm = Collection of SharePoint servers connected to the same Configuration DB.
    WFE1 will be in Loc1 and WFE2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    App1 will be in Loc1 and App2 will be in Loc2 (and connected to the same config DB i.e. same Farm).
    Users from Loc1 will be directed to WFE1 and Users from Loc2 will be directed to WFE2.
    App1 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc1.
    App2 will run services and service applications consumed by web applications specific to Loc2.
    I can implement all of the above.
    Now question is "How to provide local flavor for back end SQL?"
    suppose, I configure "Active-Active" SQL clustering SQLNode1 at Loc1 and SQLNode2 at Loc2, how do I specify that web applications meant for Loc1 are fetched from SQLNode1 and web applications meant for Loc2 are fetched from SQLNode2.
    Users in Loc1 are not interested in web applications meant for Loc2 and vice-versa. Currently we are having Two (2) different farms at each location, but going forward we want to consolidate so that "Infrastructure maintenance" is minimized and
    investment in third party solutions can be leveraged by both locations.

    How far away are these SharePoint servers away from each other? Remember that regardless of where a SharePoint server is, it must be able to write to the active instance of the Configuration database, and must have that 1ms timing.
    Active-Active SQL clusters has never been mentioned, as far as I'm aware, in TechNet documentation. I'd consider this scenario unsupported unless you talked to PSS otherwise.

  • SharePoint 2013 Media Player using UNC path directly without using a Website in IIS (either out of the box or custom player using javascript only)

    Hi,
    There isn't much info on this and I am hoping its possible.
    I have come across the following article which explains how we can setup SharePoint 2013 Asset Library using video links using a website in IIS that is mapped to a UNC path.
    http://stevemannspath.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-videos-in-sharepoint.html
    This is great. However we have an issue where I work and I need somehow to get SharePoint mediaplayer to point to a video directly using the UNC path like :- \\WINSP13\TempVideos\NTV_Carr_Indig.wmv without the use of a website in IIS.
    I understand that we won't be able to stream the video then thats ok.
    when trying to add a video link to an asset library using the UNC path, we get the following error: We don't support
    playing a video of that format from a file share.
    Is there a way or a workaround to do this? we are using only javascript to do this (AngularJS or any custom Javascript player such as MediaElement)
    Thanks
    Kind Regards,
    Will

    From a SharePoint architecture perspective, this is a BAD design, since you are rerouting the communications (from the client to the UNC) away from and outside of SharePoint... as a result, SP cannot provide any level of guarantee about the ability for videos
    to play on the client machine.
    Secondarily, I'm not sure that the browser will let you pull resources from such different locations (doing so has been the root of several type of attacks, such as "Cross Site Scripting").
    That said (and assuming the browser lets you), you can always use JS to handle creating the video player HTML and setting the UNC location... instead of using a site asset library to store the links, just create a list for the videos

  • Network File sharing in SharePoint 2013 portal

    Hi Everyone
    I have a set of network folders(shared folder in some server) and want to make use of all this in SharePOint as a portal. So that i can eliminate the use of Network folder sharing concept. Bacially i need to know whether we have any OOB template/s available
    in SharePoint 2013 or its a custom development ?
    Regards
    Prashanth
    SharePoint Administrator

    Hi Prashanth,
    There are multiple ways to move content from fileShares to SharePoint.
    Step 1: Create the SharePoint Information Architecture - create a site collection preferably chose a document center template, create document libraries and folders as per the network folder structure in your organization.
    Step 2: Map your File Share as Network drive in your client machine, and same way map your SharePoint website document library as network drive too. Drag and drop files.
    Note there are 2 issues for this approach,
    1) your document metadata will be lost, the last modified by will change to the account with which you have logged into SharePoint while copying, and the last modified time will be changed.
    2) Its a tedious manual approach if you have lots of files.
    Now for retaining the metadata you will need to depend upon a 3rd party tools ( or this codeplex solution: http://f2sp.codeplex.com/ (I havent verified that this works with Sp 2013 or not).
    Using 3rd party tools has the advantage of retaining metadata and any issues with file naming conventions will also be taken care of most of the prominent tools which otherwise needs to be taken care by administrator manually. - Note SharePoint has file
    naming conventions - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/905231?wa=wsignin1.0.
    Also In order to reduce the effort in second step you can also create content organizer rules and map your drop off library as the drag and drop location.
    finally do read this awesome blog post by Sean Earp and Andre Kieft before starting of with the project. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2013/11/04/migrating-file-shares-to-sharepoint-online.aspx
    Hope that helps.

  • Sharepoint 2013 and ADFS 3.0 Multi-Tenancy Problems

    Hi 
    I am hoping someone might be able to help with my scenario.
    Architectural Overview:
    We have a 3-Tier Sharepoint 2013 deployed. In this infrastructure we have the following Servers (1x ADFS server, 1x TMG Proxy for External Access, 2x Web Front-End servers, 1x Application Server, 2x SQL Servers with P2P replication
    On sharepoint we have a multi-tenant setup based on HSNC i.e. with AD integration on domain example.com. We also integrate with a 3rd Party myexample.com which we have ADFS connected to
    site1.example.com
    site2.exmaple.com  
    For both of the sites we have configured the required application and run as per requirements of ADFS 3.0. 
    ADFSserver -> server1.example.com
    DefaultRealm -> urn:sharepoint:site
    site1.example.com -> "https://site1.example.com/_trust/", urn:sharepoint:site1
    with default login page specified /_trust/default.aspx
    site2.example.com -> "https://site2.example.com/_trust/", urn:sharepoint:site2
    with default login page specified /_trust/default.aspx
    On ADFS 3.0 we have realm trusts corresponding to this i.e.
    Trust 1:
    identifier -> "https://site1.example.com/_trust/" , urn:sharepoint:site1
    Endpoint -> "https://site1.example.com/_trust/Pages/Default.aspx
    Trust 2:
    identifier -> "https://site2.example.com/_trust/", urn:sharepoint:site2
    Endpoint -> "https://site2.example.com/_trust/Pages/Default.aspx, urn:sharepoint:site2
    The Problem:
    When accessing the sites from the client browser to test (using Chrome Incognito mode so cookies terminates at close of browser session), I get weird stuff happening on ADFS and Sharepoint. I try site1.example.com and it fails stating that urn:sharepoint:site1
    is not a recognised realm. When looking at the URL request sent to ADFS I can see irrespective of urn set on sharepoint to differentiate, it sends the default urn of urn:sharepoint:site which is not part of the Relay Party Trust in ADFS for site1 or site2.
    This causes the SAML authentication to fail. When I add the default Realm to one of the Trusts then it works fine but then It is not a true multi-tenant environment as requests for both sites gets redirected to a single ADFS endpoint

    Did you set the ProviderRealms on the Trusted Identity Token Issuer?

    Do we require to install microsoft excel in sharepoint 2013 server?. if require to use sharepoint 2013 excel services.
    In our organisation, development team is asking to install office 2013 in SharePoint 2013 server to use different services, where as architecture team not allowing for the same. I need to provide proper justification for installing office 2013 in SharePoint
    2013 server. Please provide me the correct solution for the same.

    No, you do not need to install Office on the SharePoint server to utilize the Excel Services. Office should not be installed on the SharePoint server.
    Do they need Office Web Apps? Are they looking to have the capability to edit documents in the browser maybe? Or have document preview on search? Office Web Apps would be required for this, but this is a different product than Office.
