SharePoint Sizing and Capacity Calculator

Don’t underestimate the infrastructure investment required to create a robust SharePoint system!

For customers considering a managed SharePoint system, the Azaleos SharePoint Calculator helps simplify the planning, design, system configuration and storage layout for a SharePoint 2010 farm.  The calculator also assists with the assimilation of SharePoint into existing infrastructure by identifying all current and future usage patterns. This valuable tool can help prevent errors around capacity planning and its impact on existing infrastructure.

Why:

Most enterprises have a lot of questions and uncertainty around how they plan to use and evolve their SharePoint system. This, coupled with a lack of detailed SharePoint system knowledge, makes it hard to think through all the variables required to correctly size SharePoint capacity.

So the Azaleos team of SharePoint experts used their vast system experience to incorporate all the recommendations outlined in a myriad of Microsoft TechNet articles and consulted with a number of other industry experts to develop a one-of-a-kind calculator that’s optimized for all hardware and storage platforms. And it’s available only at Azaleos!

How:

The calculator uses your organization’s answers to a series of 25 questions relating to current and/or proposed usage plans, including version, number of users, MySite usage, deployment type, user quotas, use of Search and more to extrapolate and model growth, sizing and capacity frameworks on a yearly basis.

By investing up front to create a robust managed SharePoint system, Azaleos can help to correctly model the SharePoint farm for both today and tomorrow.  Customers can be sure they’re designing a robust collaboration and document management system that can be counted on to deliver high availability and high-speed access no matter what the intended usage model.

Highlights:

  • Ability to model and compare different loads and configurations
  • Option to default to variable estimates based on Azaleos conservative/best practice estimates
  • Addresses performance and capacity planning for the storage subsystem
  • Models both storage and IOPS summaries across the farm
  • Allows rapid modeling of the effects of workload, quota and versioning changes
