278 Part IV: Deployment Scenarios<br />

Note More than one SQL server could be installed—that is, the SQL<br />

Server component can be either a single server or a clustered server. As<br />

long as you are running any supported SQL Server configuration, SharePoint<br />

<strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> will view it as a single-server installation. This<br />

chapter assumes that the SQL component is installed on one server.<br />

Additional servers can be added to this topology to enable higher availability,<br />

higher capacity, or both. These configurations are classified as medium or large<br />

server farms <strong>and</strong> are discussed in Chapter 12, “Deploying Medium <strong>and</strong> Large Server<br />

Farms.”<br />

The reasons for having the database on a different server to server, which has<br />

SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>, include:<br />

■ Performance <strong>and</strong> availability. The number of users a SharePoint deployment<br />

can support increases when the database is on a separate server.<br />

■ Administration or policy boundaries.<br />

■ Security, as in an Internet or extranet deployment scenario, where the Web<br />

server can be separated from the SQL server with a firewall.<br />

■ SQL Server 2000 is already present on a server running other databases.<br />

More Info For more information on the type of farm you should deploy <strong>and</strong><br />

planning considerations, please refer to Chapter 9, “Capacity Planning,” <strong>and</strong><br />

the chapters in Part 8, “Securing SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>.”<br />

The front-end Web server must have Windows Server 2003 installed <strong>and</strong> be<br />

running IIS in IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode with ASP.NET allowed. The<br />

computer must be using the NTFS file system.<br />

This section will now cover the deployment aspects specific to Windows<br />

SharePoint Services <strong>and</strong> SharePoint Portal Server 2003.<br />

Windows SharePoint Services<br />

The process for installing Windows SharePoint Services with a separate SQL server,<br />

also known as a remote SQL server, is the same as installing Windows SharePoint<br />

Services on the same machine as SQL server as described earlier, except you will<br />

have to specify the name of the remote SQL Server server in the configuration<br />

options.
