Una delle cose più importanti quando si inizia un progetto Sharepoint(sia MOSS che WSS 3.0) è quello di analizzare le risorse necessarie ovvero realizzare un Capacity Planning.
Ci sono molti articoli sull'argomento ma quello che mancava ero un tool che simulasse tutto ciò.
Bene ora il team di Sharepoint ha rilasciato un ottimo Tool che tramite dei modelli ci permette di creare un Capacity Planning quasi perfetto, i modelli sono per :
- Number of Users
- Internet vs. Intranet
- Anonymous vs. Authenticated
- User Profile i.e. heavy, typical, light
Direttamente dal blog del team di Sharepoint vi lascio il dettaglio di questo tool che si deve provare subito.
Overview
The SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool is a set of free models of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). The two models use the analysis and simulation features of System Center Capacity Planner 2007 (SCCP) to help you explore suitable IT infrastructure options for your SharePoint deployment, based on the SharePoint usage requirements for your organization that you provide to the tool. It can give you a head start on planning your SharePoint topology by producing a first approximation of the topology your organization needs. Architects, systems integrators, and deployment engineers will find it to be a valuable starting point for further refinements of the topology.
