Question
A company is implementing a SharePoint farm that will contain six servers. The farm architecture design must meet the following requirements: - Distribute incoming user requests equally. - Provide high availability. You need to distribute the servers and roles to meet the requirements. How should you distribute the servers and roles? (To answer, drag the appropriate server or role to the correct location or locations in the answer area. Each server or role may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar panes or scroll to view content.)
Explanation
The final architecture distributes roles as follows:
- Users connect to a Load Balancer.
- The Load Balancer distributes requests to two Front-end Web Servers.
- Each Front-end Web Server connects to an Application Server (two Application Servers in total).
- Each Application Server connects to a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (two SQL Server 2012 instances in total).
- All servers (Front-end Web Servers, Application Servers, SQL Servers) are connected to a Storage Area Network.
Explanation details:
- Use a load balancer connected to the Web Servers.
- SharePoint provides a basic load balancer that can round-robin requests to Web service applications, offering load balancing and fault tolerance out-of-the-box for SharePoint service applications.
- The application servers are placed between the Web servers and the SAN.
- Storage is connected to all relevant servers.
- Use the latest SQL Server (Microsoft SQL Server 2012).
