The Outcome

Cloud enables on-demand computing resources to be rapidly provisioned with

minimal management effort or interaction.

Page 26: SharePoint in the Cloud - ILTA 2011 - APP2

#APP2 @RHarbridge

What to watch out for…While cloud is for everyone, it is not for everything (until solutions, usage and

standards mature).

Getting Office 365 (or BPOS) Dedicated Evaluation Criteria

• Are you a law firm? • Do you have less than 5000 people?

Not for you.

Page 35: SharePoint in the Cloud - ILTA 2011 - APP2

But You Still Want Dedicated?

• SPLA (Server Provider License Agreement) – Means hosting companies can offer competitive ‘dedicated’ hosting scenarios at lower costs.

This is for you.

Assessing requirements pre-move• Read the SharePoint Online - Standard Service description• Plan people and group permissions• Develop a content management strategy - assess/delete/archive• Consider onboarding in stages

Planning Activities

• Consider how end-users will discover sites• Single site collection? Or multiple aligned with various business units?• Site templates, document libraries, navigation - what’s the look and feel?

Site Design

• Select an individual(s) to be primary SharePoint Online Administrator• Plan for unique site collection owners <within various business units>• Individual site can be owned at lower levels

Delegated Administration

• Refactor solutions for Sandbox, and potentially retire by use of out-of-the-box configuration.

• Establish development/test environments• Read the SharePoint Online – Standard Developer Guide (in DRAFT at beta)

Prepare for the Sandbox

The Outcome

We barely scratched the surface with SharePoint in the Cloud but have already seen many ‘trade off’ decision points we

should be aware of.

Page 58: SharePoint in the Cloud - ILTA 2011 - APP2

#APP2 @RHarbridge

What to watch out for…Without careful planning cloud

providers can cause considerable cost due to new challenges such as migration

and identity federation.

BPOS to Office 365?

http://www.microsoft.com/online/transition-center.aspx

Microsoft is responsible for any changes that happen in its datacenters. Customers will not have to migrate any data; however, customers will be responsible for making sure that their client software is compliant with the system requirements. See Office 365 system requirements download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/4/A6479925-C7D2-4C4C-A21B-48BCCF8887A9/FAQ_EN_101010.docx.

Customers will also be responsible for end-user training and configuring any new features and capabilities that will be delivered by Office 365.

1. Customers will not have to migrate any data.

2. You need to have SharePoint 2010 compatible client software/systems.

3. You have to train users on the new 2010 interface.

SecurityCan be an issue, but most of the time is not.

The real issue is lack of standards and accountability…

If it’s a bigger and more respectable hosting provider expect a better level of accountability and security planning/activity.

Amazon Web Services OutageAmazon had it’s EC2 cluster go down for multiple days.

• Not Actually Violating SLA of EC2 is 99.95% since Elastic Book Store (EBS) & Relational Database Service (RDS) were the services that were down for most of the time (and they had no SLAs).

• “How easy do you make it for me to access multiple physical data centers with attendant failover and backups?”

Support Is Important

As an example Microsoft provides 24/7 support.Google also provides 24/7 support.

However Google Apps has a rule where only system critical events that affect more than 50% of users can use their phone support.

Don’t forget that with all cloud based providers – you are also adding another layer between IT and the attorneys/paralegals.

Example Issue: Can a law firm put a stop to a providers maintenance schedule so that a trial team can finish preparing for a case without interruption?

Legal Considerations“For a small and medium enterprise, it is a very easy discussion between on-premise and cloud, with the exception only of a few select industries with very specific statutory and regulatory compliance obligations that might make it difficult to go to the cloud, such as a lawyers' offices where, for the purposes of client confidentiality under certain jurisdictions, they may not be able to put all of their data in the cloud," said Howie…

In short… It’s not an easy discussion for law offices.

• Since the startup costs are lower organizations can run the risk of not doing enough planning.

• Migrating content can be extremely difficult depending on what options are provided by the ‘cloud provider’.

What does Silverlight enable in SharePoint Online?

•A Web Part can be a host for Silverlight•SharePoint ships with Silverlight web part

• Need only build a Silverlight control or app•The web part can contain custom properties that are sent to Silverlight via the InitParameters property•The XAP file can be deployed to a SharePoint Online document library•The Silverlight application can then make use of the Client OM to access SPOnline data.

• Programs running on the client can add and remove lists, add, update, and delete list items, modify documents in document libraries, create sites, manage permissions of items, add and remove web parts from a page, and much more.

Silverlight provides the opportunity for developers to create the next generation of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). SharePoint Online integrates closely with Microsoft Silverlight to enable you to build compelling user interfaces that interact with SharePoint Online data.

Silverlight

#APP2 @RHarbridge

The Client Object ModelWhat does the client object model enable?

• Abstraction layer• Results returned as recognizable SharePoint objects

Provide powerful ways to interact with SharePoint Online data remotely from script that executes in the browser – providing access to objects at the site-collection level and lower within the SharePoint hierarchy.

• .NET• ECMAScript• Silverlight

Consistent developer experience across platforms
