SharePoint Performance Sinks, Swims with SQL Server Throughput (SearchContentManagement)
When things slow down in a SharePoint system, the initial fix is often to add more Web servers to better handle the load. But those front-end servers rely on the same back-end database server, and the back end is where SharePoint usually encounters the most performance problems. That’s because it essentially relies on SQL Server as both a database and a file system.  It’s not that SQL Server isn’t a speed demon; it can be. But SharePoint’s processing demands tend to highlight SQL Server’s most common bottleneck: disk I/O. Continue reading this entry »

10 SharePoint Security Mistakes You Probably Make (InformationWeek)
How important is it to secure and monitor Microsoft SharePoint? Consider the case of Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who’s accused of leaking 250,000 government cables to WikiLeaks. According to an Army investigator who testified at a hearing to determine if Manning should face a court martial, one of Manning’s laptops contained an Excel spreadsheet, containing a tab with multiple Wget scripts–designed to download large numbers of files–that “pointed to a Microsoft SharePoint server” that stored documents for the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detention facility, reported Wired. The investigator further testified that “he ran the scripts to download the documents, then downloaded the ones that WikiLeaks had published and found they were the same.” Continue reading this entry »
