SharePoint - Logical Architecture

This document summarizes the logical architecture of SharePoint Portal Server 2007. It describes the main components as web servers, web applications, application pools, content databases, site collections, and sites. The web servers handle requests and direct them to ASP.NET. Web applications provide authentication and access to content. Application pools provide process isolation for database connections. Content databases store all content, metadata, lists, and documents. Site collections are units of backup/restore and sites contain lists, libraries, and subsites to organize and store content.

WebServer
Plays different roles in WSS deployment
Listen to Request on the port
Direct request to the ASP.NET
Hosting the ASP.NET Engine

SharePoint Portal Server 2007- Logical Architecture ~~ 4


Web Application
IIS Default website (default Web Application)
User and Administrative Web Application
Finer control over settings for a group of sites
User Authentication
ASP.NET related DLLs
Different access points to same Content

SharePoint Portal Server 2007- Logical Architecture ~~ 5


Application pool
Process Identity
Process Isolation - Security boundary for database
connectivity
Application recycling

SharePoint Portal Server 2007- Logical Architecture ~~ 6


ASP.NET 2.0
Forwards the request using HTTP Module and gives it
to the WSS HTTP Handler
Gives the provider model infrastructure to WSS
Gives the webpart infrastructure to WSS
Gives master page support
Security & Personalization services

SharePoint Portal Server 2007- Logical Architecture ~~ 7


Configuration db
Deployment specific configuration

Webapplication <-> Content Database mapping

Load balancing between content databases

SharePoint Portal Server 2007- Logical Architecture ~~ 8


Content Databases
Everything (almost) stored in SQL Server
Lists, documents, and metadata all in normalized tables
Transactional updates of documents and document
metadata but not the typical transactional DB
Deadlock detection and resolution
Configurable number of content databases per
virtual server
Not one per site
Recommended 4 – 10 per server
Fixed database schema
Not one table per list
Database schema changes Not supported

 Advantages of multiple SQL Server

 Eases backup and Content Content Load balance

 Helps with growth

 Up to 10 content DBs

recommended Backup and restore
 Cons of multiple DBs
Separate volumes
 Increased admin and
maintenance

Site collection
Un–recognized by IIS

Unit of backup and restore

Scale Entity for end – user

Stores webpart, list and site templates in the gallery

Site
Content storage
List
Document Libraries
Child site
Customizable entity
Securable entity (securing the access)
Foundation for webpart
