Load balancing Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is the latest version of Microsoft's enterprise collaboration platform. SharePoint
makes it easier for people to work together. Using SharePoint 2010, staff can set up web sites to share
information with others, manage documents from start to finish, publish reports to help everyone make better
decisions and search across a range of internal and external data sources to find answers and information
more quickly and effectively
In SharePoint 2010 what were roles in prior versions of the product can now be viewed simply as
components, so as opposed to assigning a specific role to a server, components are placed on an agnostic
machine, independent of any specific role definition. For example, in the past the role of indexer or query
server was assigned to a machine, now the search topology is extended by assigning one or more search
components, such as Query or Crawl to a machine. Roles are a concept that do not necessarily apply in
2010, instead a machine is generic and flexible to provide a multitude of services. Components and services
are shared between servers in the farm depending on server performance, topology requirements,
anticipated user load etc
Load balancing is required for the Front-end Web Servers to provide performance and resilience for users
connecting to the SharePoint farm. For the middle (application) tier, multiple application servers running the same service applications are load
balanced by default and there is no external load balancing requirement.
SharePoint 2010 is based on IIS and associated technologies at the top / middle tier and Microsoft SQL
Server for back-end storage. Therefore, load balancing SharePoint 2010 is relatively straight- forward, but to
provide a resilient and robust SharePoint system, it's important to consider Microsoft's various architectural
recommendations, best practices and guidelines when designing your SharePoint Infrastructure, key points to consider are covered in the deployment guide.
There are multiple ways to deploy SharePoint 2010 depending on a number of factors including number of
end-users, physical server topology options / preferences etc. In the above example, the
3-tier redundant topology was used.
