• Holistic Approach to Performance…• SharePoint Performance Stack• Considerations for Physical to Virtual• Strategies for SharePoint in Azure• Performance in Office 365

Outline

4 #Dynatrace

Holistic Approach

5 #Dynatrace

• Network - LAN/WAN including Firewall & Load Balancers

• Directory / Authentication• Desktop – OS, Memory, Drivers, Browser• SharePoint (server)

• Web Front End• App Servers / Search & Crawling• SQL Servers

Holistic Approach

• What are the key considerations of moving from a physical server farm to virtual environment? What can I really benefit from with virtual servers?

Performance Considerations Physical to Virtual

10 #Dynatrace

• Under utilized resources• It’s cheaper… (look at licensing… it’s beneficial)• Quicker recovery. Rollback is a snap!• Better management control – You still own the assets• Believe it or not you’re in minority if you’re not

(more than 60% of on premises environments are already virtual)!

Why Virtualize?

11 #Dynatrace

12 #Dynatrace

• Recommendation: Use dedicated disks for SQL• Don’t skimp on memory of WFEs• Don’t forget Disaster Recovery – Fault tolerance can give a false sense of security.

• Consider snapshots… Careful of backup performance• Antivirus is often a performance hog. Exclude temp, scanning data and log drives.

Virtual Server Planning for SharePoint

14 #Dynatrace

We need support for third party tools for business integration, but why not save on costs by using MS resources… what are my options? What are my disaster recovery options?

SharePoint Migration to Azure Cloud

15 #Dynatrace

• Hosted secondary datacenter   Use Azure instead of investing in a secondary datacenter in a different region.

• Lower-cost disaster-recovery environments - cold standby, warm standby, or hot standby

• More elastic platform   In the event of a disaster, easily scale-out your recovery SharePoint farm to meet load requirements.

• Azure AD – Flexible identities and federation options.• Add SharePoint functionality not available in Office 365 such

as deep reporting and web analytics.• App farms to support Office 365 or on-premises environments• Quick build, test, and host apps in Azure to support both on-

premises and cloud environments.

Why Azure?

Office 365 Layers

18 #Dynatrace

• We are going to Office 365… Am I powerless?• Is there any way to optimize or monitor?

Performance Considerations for Office 365

19 #Dynatrace

• It’s not about the usual suspects… (Not CPU/Memory/Disk)

• Corporate to Cloud - Bandwidth, Bandwidth, Bandwidth… Upload/Download

• Migration is first key consideration• ** Looking at both Azure and Office 365 as part of the dev strategy.

Performance Considerations for SharePoint Migration to Office 365

20 #Dynatrace

• Non optimized Lists• ACLs - Too many individual permissions• Lack of list indexes (SharePoint 2016 can manage

automatically)• Content Query Web part (common in older SP)• Slow, Large lists with millions of items in non optimized views.

• Recommendations• Use permissions inheritance when possible• Use views or folders when individual permissions for a set of

files are required.

SharePoint Health Check Tips

#1: End User Health: Happy or Frustrated? Desktop or Mobile?

#3: System Health: CPU, Memory, Process Distribution, …

#2: Site Health: Any Errors? Any Performance Issues?

#4: IIS Health: Bandwidth? Threads? HTTP 4xx, 5xx?

#5: AppPool Health: Memory, CPU, GC, Exceptions, Logs …

#6: SQL & Service Health: # Roundtrips, Data Amount, CPU, Memory, I/O

#7: Web Parts: 3rd Party & Custom. Bad Coding and Bad Deployments lead to crashes
