SocialMedia Talk

This mornings video continues a series of recording created last week during Charlotte travels where I received requests for content via Twitter.

When presenting SharePoint 2010 to clients I often tell them that SharePoint is not really a product but rather an infrastructure. Covering a wide array of Enterprise workloads SharePoint is comprised of a number of services that traditionally would be separate products that require an organization to integrate together. With SharePoint you could theoretically install it all on a single server and have search, forms services, Access Services, and more all in one machine instance… but would that be a good idea. In this episode of Michael on the Go I answer a question poised to me via Twitter on whether or not it is okay to load all the services for SharePoint up on a single server instance.
