This presentation will help you go through the initial design steps to determine a basic design for a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 search architecture. Each successive step will help you refine the initial design by identifying key design drivers, starting with business requirements and metrics. You can use the outputs of each step to inform the next set of questions. After going through each step in this presentation, you will be able to map business requirements and key performance metrics to a baseline search architecture.
1. Identify corpus volume and key performance metrics
2. Map key metrics to logical topology and search components
3. Map logical topology to a physical architecture design
4. Stage, test, and iterate

The SharePoint 2010 Developer Platform wall poster (PDF format) shows a colorful view of SharePoint 2010 developer tools, community ecosystem, execution environment, SharePoint Server 2010 workloads, and target application types. The poster is intended to be printed at 24 inches x 36 inches (61 centimeters x 91 centimeters).
This is a great wall poster.
Potential uses would be an alternate view of the tools and resources needed besides that usual “Buckets” or “SharePoint Wheel” graphics used in many Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
