#spthingaday 012 – SharePoint Server. The basics. #SharePoint, #SharePointServer.. SharePoint and Office 365’s SharePoint Online have many differences. Today, I’m gong to walk you through the structure of a SharePoint Server – on-premise – farm. The top-most concept is the Farm. This is made up of all the servers that together participate and act as a unit. Individual servers can perform specific or shared roles. Next comes Web Applications – the entry point to your content. A Farm can host multiple Web Applications, although best practice is to have one per farm. You need to be a Farm Administrator to create these. At the root of each Web Application is a Site Collection. You can have multiple Site Collections per Web Application. Inside Site Collections you have a Top Level Site and Subsites. Your content, in the form of documents and web pages, lives in Libraries. You can also manage calendars, tasks and other data in SharePoint Lists. #microsoft #microsoftoffice #microsoftsharepoint #microsofttraining #officetraining #freetraining #trainingvideos #contentmanagement #enterprisecontentmanagement

SharePoint and Office 365’s SharePoint Online have many differences.

Today, I’m gong to walk you through the structure of a SharePoint Server – on-premise – farm.

The top-most concept is the Farm. This is made up of all the servers that together participate and act as a unit.

Individual servers can perform specific or shared roles.

Next comes Web Applications – the entry point to your content. A Farm can host multiple Web Applications, although best practice is to have one per farm. You need to be a Farm Administrator to create these.

At the root of each Web Application is a Site Collection. You can have multiple Site Collections per Web Application.

Inside Site Collections you have a Top Level Site and Subsites.

Your content, in the form of documents and web pages, lives in Libraries. You can also manage calendars, tasks and other data in SharePoint Lists.
