High availability is ultimately measured by the end user experience and minimizing downtime. The goal is to balance business needs with technical capabilities and costs. A system is considered highly available if it meets the agreed upon availability percentage. SharePoint 2013 requires all servers in a farm to be located in the same data center, so redundancy between data centers is not supported. Load balancing multiple web frontends across servers improves availability.
This document discusses DevOps automation using Puppet Enterprise and VMware solutions. It describes how Puppet Enterprise can be used to automate the provisioning of multi-node applications on VMware vCloud Automation Center. This allows for self-service provisioning and lifecycle management of applications across heterogeneous infrastructure according to policies and approvals. It also enables drift remediation to fix configurations that deviate from the blueprint.

This document discusses preparing for a SharePoint 2010 deployment. It recommends learning as much as possible about SharePoint 2010 through online training and trial versions. The environment should be prepared by setting up an evaluation environment, installing and testing SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010, and practicing upgrades. Hardware requirements have increased, so the environment will need more servers to support high availability, scalability, and performance. Database performance is critical, so SQL Server should be configured for best practices and dedicated storage allocated. New tools like Deployment Advisor can help assess system health and identify issues.
System Center Cloud Services Process Pack Administration GuideKathy Vinatieri
The document provides instructions for installing and configuring the System Center Cloud Services Process Pack. It outlines the required prerequisites, including installing System Center 2012 products. It then describes how to install the Cloud Services Process Pack on the Service Manager server and how to install the Cloud Services runbooks on the Orchestrator server. The document provides various configuration and administration tasks that must be completed to fully implement the cloud services solution.
The document describes a case study of a virtual retail company using Oracle's Real User Experience Insight (RUEI) product. RUEI helped the company by providing insights into real end-user experiences on their website to proactively find and address issues. This improved customer satisfaction and reduced costs by enabling faster response to problems. RUEI also identified bottlenecks and areas of high user frustration through dashboard reports, allowing the company to improve its online shopping experience and prevent lost revenue.
The document describes how a virtual retail company implemented Oracle's Real User Experience Insight (RUEI) solution to address challenges with monitoring end-user experience, performance issue response times, and gaining business and IT insights. RUEI provided proactive monitoring and diagnostics to prevent lost revenue, faster response to customer issues through error replay, easy identification of bottlenecks, and powerful reporting dashboards for both business and IT users. The implementation of RUEI helped the company reduce maintenance costs, improve customer satisfaction, and prevent lost revenue from transaction failures.

This document discusses sandbox solutions in SharePoint 2010. Sandbox solutions allow developers to deploy solutions without having to make changes to the farm or web.config files. Sandbox solutions run in an isolated process and are subject to controls enforced by the Code Access Security system. They provide a more secure way to rapidly deploy extensions that can be monitored and managed at the site collection level by farm administrators. The document outlines how sandbox solutions work, what types of components they support, restrictions, best practices for developing, validating, managing and monitoring sandbox solutions.
This document provides a software project plan for the WMITS project. It includes sections on goals and scope, estimates and resources, risk management, schedule, team organization, and tracking mechanisms. The project aims to automate environmental inspection processes. Risks include time constraints, funding needs for pilot integration, and obtaining necessary skills. Estimates using process-based and LOC methods indicate effort of 7-14 person-months and costs of $33,000-$40,000. The 3-person team will have specialized roles to complete the project in 3 months.
The document discusses software project failures and the benefits of using an integrated platform like Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) for software development. It notes that on average in 2000-2004, software projects were 45% over budget, 63% over schedule, and only delivered 67% of planned functionality. VSTS provides features like version control, work item tracking, build automation, and reporting that help improve collaboration, accountability, visibility and quality of software projects. It discusses how one company saw a 225% ROI and 6 month payback by deploying VSTS across their development teams.

Measure and increase developer productivity with help of Severless by Kazulki...Vadym Kazulkin
The goal of Serverless is to focus on writing the code that delivers business value and offload everything else to your trusted partners (like Cloud providers or SaaS vendors). You want to iterate quickly and today’s code quickly becomes tomorrow’s technical debt. In this talk we will show why Serverless adoption increases the developer productivity and how to measure it. We will also go through AWS Serverless architectures where you only glue together different Serverless managed services relying solely on configuration, minimizing the amount of the code written.

SharePoint 2010 provides several options for implementing high availability architectures. Key components include web front end servers, application servers, and SQL servers. High availability ensures a predetermined level of uptime through strategies like redundancy, failover, virtualization and disaster recovery. Services like search and user profiles can be made highly available across multiple farms using replication technologies. Monitoring and service distributions are important to achieve redundancy.
9. For a given software application or service, high availability is ultimately measured in terms of the end user’s experience and expectations. The tangible and perceived business
impact of downtime may be expressed in terms of information loss, property damage, decreased productivity, opportunity costs, contractual damages, or the loss of goodwill.
The principal goal of a high availability solution is to minimize or mitigate the impact of downtime. A sound strategy for this optimally balances business processes and Service
Level Agreements (SLAs) with technical capabilities and infrastructure costs.
A platform is considered highly available per the agreement and expectations of customers and stakeholders. The availability of a system can be expressed as this calculation:
Actual uptime/Expected uptime X 100%
The resulting value is often expressed by industry in terms of the number of 9’s that the solution provides; meant to convey an annual number of minutes of possible uptime,
or conversely, minutes of downtime.
Number of 9's Availability Percentage Total Annual Downtime
2 99% 3 days, 15 hours
3 99.9% 8 hours, 45 minutes
4 99.99% 52 minutes, 34 seconds
5 99.999% 5 minutes, 15 seconds

22. All servers that belong to a server farm,
including database servers, must physically
reside in the same datacenter. Redundancy
and failover between closely located data
centers that are configured as a single farm
("stretched farm”) is not supported in
SharePoint 2013.
