SharePoint 2010 Service Applications vs. SSP
Some great changes to SharePoint 2010 is the change in the concept of SSP’s.
- A separate SSP website is no longer needed in your farm. Service applications are managed in Central Administration.
- You can pick and choose which services to use as opposed to associating an SSP to a web application and having to use everything (Search, Profiles, BDC, etc…)
- Ala carte association of service application. Again, you are not forced into using and administrating all the services such as with the SSP model.
- Reuse the same service applications across web applications.
- Use multiple instances of service applications. (Be sure to create unique names for each instance)
- SharePoint Foundation (WSS) can also use service applications. SSP’s in SharePoint 2007 is MOSS only.
