This week I had the chance to attend the San Diego SharePoint User Group meeting a.k.a @sanspug at the Microsoft San Diego Office. Good to see people interested in the topic Architecting Solutions and Systems presented by Randy Williams. Randy is a Director of AvePoint Client Services so you can tell the level and weight of the presenter, additional he is a great speaker able to have you totally focus and interested in a given topic for hours. Randy explained his take on the steps to consider for architecting solutions and services, he shares some of the questions that are really important to ask ourselves whenever we need to understand a business need and design a solution approach, also he explained some the base principles and technical consideration you should take:
- Base Principles
- Know your requirements
- Tradeoff considerations
- Return of Investment
- Infrastructure Architecture
- Servers
- Storage
- Databases
- Network
- Cloud Considerations
- Tips from Randy
So I wanted to take the time to recommend Randy slides and kind of make the point that you should take a look at the content if you design IT solutions for enterprise customers.
By the way, join the San Diego SharePoint User Group here and keep in touch.
