Driving cost
efficiencies and accomplishing more with
the same resources is possible through
the consolidation of business
productivity solutions onto SharePoint
2010. The ability to deploy any of the
integrated capabilities and new
enterprise-class management tools to
intranet, extranet, and Internet sites,
as well as the choice of on-premises
installation or hosted services, paves
the way for optimizing IT resources and
significantly lowering the total cost of
ownership of business productivity
solutions.
SharePoint 2010
offers better control over server
resources, which can improve processes
such as performance and management of
large lists and data management and
protection using high availability. A
scalable services architecture allows
you to effectively manage and centralize
services like Search, My Sites, and
Taxonomy. These service applications can
be managed through Central
Administration and also can be managed
and scripted by Windows PowerShell.
Because the architecture is extensible,
third-party companies can build and add
services to platform.
Platform
ConsolidationThe rich set of
integrated capabilities for business
collaboration provided by SharePoint
2010, in addition to its
enterprise-scale manageability, will
enable more customers to retire niche
solutions and focus new solutions on
SharePoint. This will accelerate their
ability to drive efficiencies, allowing
IT departments to achieve more impact
with the same resources.
Deployment
ChoiceNowadays, IT is
required to support scale agility,
allowing its business collaboration
platform to be scaled up and out
quickly, based on changing business
needs. SharePoint 2010 provides IT with
the flexibility of choosing whether to
deploy on-premises or in the cloud, thus
enhancing its ability to support any
given scenario while optimizing
resources and remaining relevant and
efficient.
Developers can
build Sandboxed Solutions to be deployed
on-premises or online, with built-in API
limits and resource governance for
administrators. In SharePoint 2010, new
Sandboxed Solutions can be deployed to a
corporate intranet or to a shared
hosting environment, such as SharePoint
Online.
With a quick and
simple installation and configuration
process, SharePoint 2010 provides a
flexible deployment experience. The
upgrade from SharePoint 2007 is smooth
and predictable. New functionality
allows you to manage how others use
SharePoint. For example, you can safely
allow site administrators to upload
custom user code with Sandboxed
Solutions. You also have more governance
controls: If you want to maintain a
centralized SharePoint deployment
instead of taking a more decentralized
approach, you can block those
deployments through Group Policy or
track them with AD marker support.
With business
collaboration and productivity becoming
instrumental to success, IT departments
are required to do more with no
additional resources. With SharePoint
2010, robust management tools enable IT
to multiply its impact and achieve a
higher degree of effectiveness with the
same resources.
SharePoint 2010 can
help to increase IT professionals'
productivity by improving the
administrative experience and giving
administrators deeper operational
insight. Features include a new
streamlined Central Administration Web
site, new capabilities to manage and
monitor the SharePoint farm, and Windows
PowerShell support.
