Cloud Technology and Virtualization
There are many reasons companies and organizations are investing in server virtualization. Some of the reasons are financially motivated, while others address technical concerns. Server virtualization conserves space through consolidation. It's common practice to dedicate each server to a single application. If several applications only use a small amount of processing power, the network administrator can consolidate several machines into one server running multiple virtual environments. For companies that have hundreds or thousands of servers, the need for physical space can decrease significantly. Server virtualization provides a way for companies to practice redundancy without purchasing additional hardware. Redundancy refers to running the same application on multiple servers. It's a safety measure -- if a server fails for any reason, another server running the same application can take its place. This minimizes any interruption in service. It wouldn't make sense to build two virtual servers performing the same application on the same physical server. If the physical server were to crash, both virtual servers would also fail. In most cases, network administrators will create redundant virtual servers on different physical machines. Virtual servers offer programmers isolated, independent systems in which they can test new applications or operating systems. Rather than buying a dedicated physical machine, the network administrator can create a virtual server on an existing machine. Because each virtual server is independent in relation to all the other servers, programmers can run software without worrying about affecting other applications (Strickland 2013).
Cloud computing is ideal for small companies, as it’s cost-effective, saves time and energy, and it allows for a high level of customization. According to Forbes, a 2009 study found that cloud computing could save up to 67% of the lifecycle cost for server deployment on a large scale. Another study found that using cloud solutions generally results in higher investment returns (when compared to an on-site system). There are further cost saving benefits, such as less need for expensive hardware and software, and no need for physical networks or IT maintenance. Also, cloud systems are usually ‘pay-as-you-go’, so you only pay for what you use. There are no upfront investments, and IT requirements can be easily budgeted for. Also, various cloud services can either be added or scaled back, depending on where your business is, and how much growth is taking place. The cloud is also highly customizable: you can select what platform you want, which payroll software to use, and what email marketing tools you require – all from different vendors, and all individually configurable (K2 SEO 2013).

Share point 2013 coding standards and best practices 1.0LiquidHub
This document provides coding standards and best practices for developing SharePoint applications. It discusses efficient use of SharePoint data and objects, including caching objects and handling multithreaded environments. Specific recommendations are given for working with folders, lists, and deleting multiple versions of list items. The document also covers writing applications that scale to large numbers of users and using SPQuery objects. Best practices for disposing objects, exception handling, and accessing web and site objects are also outlined.
The document outlines the SharePoint 2013 upgrade process from SharePoint 2010 in three main steps:
1. Prepare the 2010 and 2013 farms by gathering information, cleaning up 2010, and setting up 2013.
2. Upgrade databases by copying them from 2010 to 2013, upgrading service application databases, and creating web applications before upgrading content databases.
3. Upgrade sites by running health checks, creating an evaluation site, and upgrading site collections after verifying readiness.
SharePoint 2013 introduced new features like apps, social capabilities and improved search compared to SharePoint 2010. It moved to a new app model and deprecated sandbox solutions and visual upgrades. Several site templates were also removed like Document Workspace, Personalization Site and Meeting Workspaces to simplify template selection. Existing sites created with these templates will still function in SharePoint 2013 but may not be supported in future releases.
The document discusses new user interface features in SharePoint 2010, including the ribbon interface, status bar, notifications, dialog framework, improved page model, master pages, theming engine, and extensibility of these features. The ribbon replaces the command surfaces of SharePoint 2007 and can be customized. The status bar and notifications provide feedback without page reloads. Dialogs load pages within iframes to reduce page transitions. Sites function as collections of pages. Themes allow changing the look and feel by applying color and font changes defined in theme files.

The document discusses the challenges faced by information workers and how collaboration and content management technologies can help address them. It notes that information workers spend a significant amount of time on emails, searching for information, and coordinating work across different locations. New technologies aim to simplify working together, improve access to information and insights, securely manage content, and streamline business processes. The Microsoft Office System provides a platform to address these issues through features in SharePoint for documents, tasks, calendars, blogs, wikis, email integration, and more.
SharePoint 2010 allows users to tag list items, documents, pages, and external pages to help organize information using a flexible taxonomy system. Tags can be added to anything with a URL to help categorize and find content. Users can tag list items, documents, and SharePoint pages to add keywords and notes for categorization purposes.
This presentation provides an overview of FAST Search for SharePoint 2010. It discusses the server roles, single and multi-server deployments, SharePoint search service applications, visual and conversational search capabilities, user context, comparisons to SharePoint search, ways to extend search, and lessons learned.

The Business Data Catalog (BDC) is a framework included with SharePoint Enterprise that allows integration of line-of-business systems like SAP and Oracle into SharePoint sites without requiring custom code. The BDC uses metadata to define entities, properties, and methods to retrieve read-only data from external systems using web services or SQL. Administrators import BDC metadata to create applications that provide out-of-the-box techniques for displaying and searching external data within SharePoint sites.
The Business Data Catalog (BDC) is a framework in SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise Edition that allows integration of line-of-business systems and databases without custom coding. It uses metadata to define entities, methods, and associations for connecting to and retrieving read-only data from external systems via web services or ADO.NET. Administrators import BDC metadata to create applications that provide data to SharePoint sites using out-of-the-box web parts, columns, search, and profiles synchronization. Programmers can also access BDC entities through the object model.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Microsoft Sharepoint07 Arng
1. APPLICATION READY NETWORK GUIDE
MICROSOFT OFFICE
SHAREPOINT SERVER 2007
Comprehensive Microsoft–Ready infrastructure that enhances the
security, availability and performance of SharePoint 2007 deployments
2. SUMMARY
Hundreds of organizations around the world use Microsoft® SharePoint® with
over 80 million implementations, allowing them to develop intelligent portals
that seamlessly connect users, teams, and knowledge. With the release of
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, F5 has specifically developed and tested
a comprehensive Application Ready infrastructure that enhances the security,
availability and performance of SharePoint deployments, whether it’s over the
LAN or across a global WAN.
Not only are organizations adding new and more robust, dynamic applications
like SharePoint Server 2007 to their IT infrastructure, but the focus is starting to
shift from simply adding boxes and installing a new application to the network,
to looking at the network as a whole, and optimizing the entire infrastructure.
As network-wide optimization becomes a priority, organizations are using tools
like the Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization model1 to help guide their strategy
from a basic IT infrastructure that is overly complex, costly and difficult to manage,
to a more dynamic infrastructure where costs are controlled, processes are fully
automated, and integration and collaboration between users and applications is
pervasive. F5 has a complete suite of application infrastructure technologies that
can help simplify infrastructure and management, reduce costs and increase ROI,
and improve security for SharePoint Server 2007 deployments, as well as the entire
network and other applications. In essence, F5 has designed an integrated and
adaptable application-ready network.
