Fine-tuning NetworkLatency between SharePoint Server and SQL Server should be less than 1msHost all the servers in the same datacenter. /!\ If the datacenter has a problem, your SharePoint farm can be down /!\Don’t use Network Load Balancing (NLB), but a real load balancer like
VLANs can provide significant throughput gains: • VMs on the same VLAN can communicate through the
virtual switch, network traffic is faster because it does not have to use the physical network adapter.
• As it’s software-based, a virtual machine can easily be moved between hosts and still keeps its network configuration.

Fine-tuning SQL Server
Physical vs Virtual•Easier to scale up & down•Hyper-V Cluster in Windows Server 2012 will allow you to easily move machines between hosts when there are updates or problems•Can be easier to recover at DR. You're not in the position to reload the OS, reload SQL Server

Fine-tuning SQL ServerDedicated SQL Server
For optimal performance when operating server farms, we recommend that you install SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and SQL Server 2012 on a dedicated server that is not running other roles of farm and n 'not host databases for other applications
Dedicated InstanceNamed SQL Instance (do not use the default)

Fine-tuning SQL ServerCreate your Databases with PoSH
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SQL Server
•Use a dedicated search instance > 10’000’000 items •Antivirus: Exclude data files, transaction logs and backup files from real-time scan• Install only features and components you need. SharePoint only requires: Database Engine Services•Do not enable Statistics
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SQL Server
•Set min. and max. Server• /!\ Total amount memory x 0,80 /!\ The default value of
SQL Server for Maximum Memory is : 2147483647 MB
•Maximum fill factor per index (80%)•Activate backup compression• It’s faster and needs less disks space
•Max Degree of Parallelism (MAXDOP) = 1• Prerequisite for SharePoint 2013
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SQL Server• NFTS Allocation Unit Size: 64K• SQL reads and writes 64K at a time, but your disk allows
only 4K by default. This change alone may show you up to 30% improvement in speed.• “chkdsk c:”
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SQL Server
• It is highly recommended to use RAID 10 for your databases because RAID 5 has a bad write performance.
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SQL Server• Model Database
Every time a new Content Database is created by SharePoint to store your Web Application, SQL uses the information in the Model Database to create it.
Initial Size:This will help performance, as SQL won’t have to constantly ask for more space to store
data.
Auto Growth:Do not keep the default value which is 1 MB. When a document of 5 MB is
uploaded, it means there are 5 Autogrowth which are activated. In fact, there are 5 allocations of space which must slow your system.
Moreover, your uploaded document will be fragmented across your different data files. This configuration will decrease your performance a second time.

Fine-tuning SQL ServerData prioritization among faster disks (descending)• Temp DB data files• Temp DB logs• Content DB logs• Search DB data files• Content DB data files• Search DB logs• SharePoint data files• SharePoint logs
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (architecture)
• Content Databases shouldn’t be more than 200GB• Backup / Restore• Operational tasks
• 5000 Site collections per Content Database• 10 Application Pools (can be extended depending hardware)• 20 web Applications per SharePoint Farm•Don’t use the Product Configuration Wizard
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (settings)
•Set Quotas on all Web Applications•Disable Certificate Revocation List•Authentication•Anonymous, Claims, Kerberos, NTLM, Forms, ADFS
•Wake-Up•Only extend if you have a different authentication protocol.
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Search)
•Distribute the load on multiple crawl servers•Throttle crawling, adjust crawling schedule• Incremental vs continuous crawl•Content sources
• Group by

Fine-tuning SharePoint Server caching
•Distributed Cache• 5% of RAM is used for Newsfeed, Microblogging etc..
•Object Cache ( SuperUser, SuperReader)•Client Cache (Websites with CSS, Javascript)•Output cache (caches SC, Publishing features)
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Resource-intensive Service Applications)
•Excel Service Application •Search Service Application•Usage and Health Data collection•User Profile Service Application
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning SharePoint Server (Performance killer)
•Application Pool Recycle && IISReset•Crawl Jobs (continuous crawl)•Backup Jobs•Large list operations
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning PowerShell
•Try to avoid –Force•Use the Force switch only for fixing broken deployments of SharePoint Packages. Not only it makes SharePoint stop affected Application Pools but also it prevents you from seeing errors should there be any.
yOS-Tour - yOS-Day ©2015. All rights reserved.
Fine-tuning PowerShell
•Scope your Solutions with PoSH•When a solution is deployed globally, all SharePoint application pools, including Central Administration’s, are recycled automatically. This can be good and bad. This is good because any GAC installed DLL that has been upgraded needs to be reloaded. This can be bad though with regards to the availability of your entire SharePoint Farm.
