Connected at the hip for MS BI: SharePoint and SQLJ.D. Wade
SQL Server has always been the foundation of the Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) story. However, SharePoint has quickly moved into being the presentation layer for this important data. In this session, you will learn the many different options for combining SharePoint and SQL, the location of all the different pieces, how these pieces communicate, some licensing hints, and how Kerberos helps tie it all together.
Who is to blame? SharePoint? SQL? For many admins, SharePoint is the biggest and most important SQL Server application they manage. But how? In this session, we give an overview on planning, installation and management of SQL Server for SharePoint. We also explain how SharePoint uses SQL and cover best practices from the SharePoint and SQL CAT teams.
Despite the rumors of its demise, SharePoint On-Premises is still very much alive and kicking, and it is still critical to architect it for performance. During this session, we walk you through some of the highlights of the content that will be presented in the 'Ultimate SharePoint Infrastructure Best Practices' session that the speaker will present at the European SharePoint Conference in May. Topics discussed are SharePoint infrastructure security, database performance and optimization, server virtualization, and high availability.

SharePoint Saturday Kansas City - SharePoint 2013's Dirty Little SecretsJ.D. Wade
With over a year's experience deploying multiple SharePoint 2013 farms, I have found many things that you don't hear anyone talking about but are important. These are things buried in articles and blogs, and items I have run into during deployments. We will talk about things that effect setup, design, upgrade, and operation. Do you know about host named managed paths? Do you know how to quiesce the distributed cache before a server reboot? Did you know service application design guidance has changed for SP2013? Did you know workflow manager requires three instances to be highly available? Do you know how to make SharePoint 2013 able to search Lync 2013 instant messages? If not, come and learn these and more dirty little secrets.
This session introduces tools that can help you analyze and troubleshoot performance with SharePoint 2013. This sessions presents tools like perfmon, Fiddler, Visual Round Trip Analyzer, IIS LogParser, Developer Dashboard and of course we create Web and Load Tests in Visual Studio 2013.
At the end we also take a look at some of the tips and best practices to improve performance on SharePoint 2013.

Many organizations are finding that their SharePoint environments are becoming as or more mission-critical as email or phone currently are. They are subsequently expecting that SharePoint be both highly available and disaster tolerant at all times. Because the Service Application architecture model in SharePoint 2010 is relatively complex, it’s not surprising that there is confusion about how to architect a SharePoint environment to be able to survive hardware, software, and site outages. This session focuses on a deep dive into the specifics of how to architect the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 to be both highly available and disaster tolerant. Topics such as SQL Database mirroring, clustering, Network Load Balancing, Virtualization HA and Service Application failover are discussed. In addition, real world models of various farm failover techniques for environments of all different sizes are presented and compared. • Learn how to build in high availability and disaster tolerance into the web, data, and service application tiers of SharePoint 2010 Architecture. • Examine real world designs for SharePoint 2010 that are built to allow for full functionality in the event of various failure scenarios. • Examine how to take advantage of several ‘out of the box’ technologies with SharePoint, SQL, and Windows to provide for HA, as well as understanding when a third-party option may be required.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

56. SharePoint Primer
• Why are database changes not supported?
• Single data platform for all workloads
• Change for one may adversely affect another
• Upgrade and Servicing expects solid DB contract
• App logic is heavily dependent on DB specifics
• App enforces constraints and integrity!
• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841057
• SharePoint manages its own name value pair (NVP)
indexes
• There are four types of databases in a SharePoint farm
• Config
• Content
• Service Application
• Third-party/BI applications
• Over 20 databases in a standard SharePoint farm
installation
• Database types and descriptions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678868.aspx
57. Server Setup
• SharePoint can use some functionality of Enterprise
Edition
• Online Index Rebuild
• AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL 2012)
• Transparent Data Encryption
• Table Partitioning (SharePoint 2010)
• Snapshots
• Content Deployment
• Backup
• Remote BLOB Storage
•
Resource Governor
•
PowerPivot for SharePoint
•
HA for SharePoint integrated Reporting Services
58. Server Setup
• Format database and log drives with 64KB allocation
units. Up to 30% performance improvement especially for
backup and restore. Discuss pages and extents
•NTFS drives should always have 25% free space
• Heavy TempDB consumer, always do the following
• Split data files into one file for each core on server
• Total TempDB size should be 25% of the largest
content database
• Equally distribute space to each data file
• Log files should be 25% of total database size
• Set AutoGrowth to fixed amount
59. Server Setup
• If SharePoint farm is Production or Tier 1, use lock pages
in memory. If virtual and not critical, you can leave off lock
pages to get greater density on the host.
• If using lock pages, set maximum memory
• JD’s rule of thumb is leave 2GB available to OS and other
apps for Dev/Test. But formula to really use is
60. Server Setup
• Ensure SQL service account has Perform Volume
Maintenance rights
• Set MAXDOP to 1
• SharePoint should be in its own instance
• Set Fill Factor to 80
• Set at Instance level, not at database
• Memory guidelines
• Up to about 10GB of content: 8 GB
• 10GB – 1TB: 16 GB
• 1TB – 2TB: 32 GB
• 2TB – 5TB: 64 GB
• Above 5TB: over 64GB can improve caching speed
61. Server Setup
• Server core minimum requirements
• Up to 10GB content or below 1,000 users: 4 cores
• Up to 1TB content or up to 10,000 users: 8 cores
• Work with SharePoint Admins to create a database
naming scheme. Here are some examples:
• Prod_ConfigDB
• Prod_ContentDB_Portal
• Prod_ContentDB_WebSite
• Prod_ServApp_ManagedMetadata
• Prod_App_NintexWorkflow
• Manually deploy service apps, use AutoSPInstaller or
pre-create databases to get rid of GUIDs in database
names
• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262869(v=office.14).aspx
62. Server Setup
• Recommend the SharePoint Admin use SQL aliases.
DNS CNAMES are OK. But with an alias, you can specify
the port number which improves performance and they are
usually easier to change.
• Recommended to use dual networks on SharePoint
servers. One NIC is client facing and other NIC is database
facing.
• If more than four web servers, use a second SQL server.
SharePoint loves connections.
63. Database Management
• SharePoint ignores the model database. Either manage
manually or setup scripted maintenance plan for
autogrowth settings. Set autogrow to a fixed size, not
percentage. Set fixed size based on expected total
database size.
• Don’t rely on autogrow, Work with SP admins to pre-grow
for expected use. Size databases appropriately
• Autogrow should be just the insurance policy. Work with
SharePoint administrator to appropriately size content
databases
• They can limit site collection size by using a “site
quota”
• They can limit the number of site collections in a
content databases using the “Maximum Site”
settings on the content database.
• Don’t forget about recycle bins (SC, site, and inside
SC)
64. Database Management
•Site collections about 100GB should be in a content
database by themselves. SharePoint Admins can move
site collections to different databases.
• Main purpose is for backup and recovery.
•In general, for normal general collaboration usage of
SharePoint, site collections should not exceed 200GB (soft
limit)
•Good database sizing article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298801.aspx
• Remote BLOB storage does NOT change sizing
guidelines
65. Database Management
• Database size support limits
• General Usage Scenarios: 200GB
• All Usage Scenarios: 2TB
• Disk subsystem should provide 0.25-2 IOPS
per GB
• Plans developed for HA, DR, capacity, and
performance
• Backup and Restore testing
• Document Archive Scenario: No limit
• Above requirements
• Less than 5% of content accessed/month
• Less than 1% of content modified/month
•16TB is SharePoint’s limit for a content database because
it can only use one filegroup
66. Database Management
• Use SQLIO to test storage prior to deployment
• http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20163
• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231619
• Do NOT enable auto-create statistics. Leave it alone.
SharePoint sets it as needed. Can change execution plans
from one SQL server to another. SharePoint provides
coded hints for queries as needed.
•SharePoint 2013 has a new feature called Shredded
Storage. Only saves deltas. 30-40% reduction of space
used for versioning.
• Check Recovery Model meets your requirements. Some
are set to Full and others to Simple by default.
• Recommend the configuration database be set to
Simple.
• ConfigDB can only be restored if the SharePoint
farm was offline when backed up.
67. Operations and
Performance
• Ideally, TempDB, Database and Transaction Logs should
all be on separate drives.
• For content database performance improvement, you can
use multiple data files
• Only create files in the primary filegroup
• Put each data file on separate drive
• Number of files should equal number of cores
• Not supported for other databases
•Disk Latency Requirements
• Low: 20 ms
• Middle: 10 ms
• High: 10 ms for data, 5 ms for logs
68. Operations and
Performance
•If performance improvements are needed for databases,
in a standard environments, this is the order of priority
• TempDB data and logs files
• Database transaction logs
• Search data files
• Content database data files
•For primary read (archive) environments, the order is
• TempDB data and logs files
• Search data files
• Content database data files
• Database transaction logs
69. Operations and
Performance
• SharePoint manages index fragmentation normally
through SharePoint Health Analyzer rules. See white paper
in References for best discussion of index fragmentation.
Some databases are not monitored or sometimes manual
intervention is needed.
• Schedule regular DBCC checks
• DBCC repair with data loss is NOT supported
•Maintain farm account as DBO for moves/restores
• Normally, don’t shrink databases except when bulk
changes have been made
•So here is what you need to chat with your SharePoint
admin about never changing
•
Changing certain SharePoint thresholds will start
SQL doing table locks rather than row locks.
• Use indexed columns instead
70. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
• Supported options for HA and DR in SharePoint
• Clustering
• Synchronous Mirroring (SharePoint is mirror aware)
• Synchronous AlwaysOn AG
• Asynchronous Mirroring
(some database types only)
• Asynchronous AlwaysOn AG
(some database types only)
• Log Shipping (some database types only)
• Supported HA/DR options for SP databases
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj841106.aspx
• SharePoint does not support the use of SQL transactional
replication or merge replication
71. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
•When evaluating HA/DR options, remember
• Web server to database response time must be
less than 1ms
• Network needs to support 1 gigabyte per second
bandwidth
72. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
• Remote BLOB storage
•
Does not change storage limits
•
Requires SQL Enterprise
•
Helps to lower costs because cheaper storage can be
used to store large, read intensive BLOBs
•
Uses either filestream or third-party provider
•
Microsoft filestream provider does not support
• Encryption of BLOBs
• Using data compression
•
Use when you many large BLOBs (over 256KB) for readintensive or read-only access.
•
Savings on lower cost storage should outweigh increased
IT operations complexity
•
Third party options have much more flexibility and can
allow BLOBs greater than 2TB but at a cost
•
20ms response time for first byte requirement
