Join this highly informational and exciting workshop as we’ll be building a multi-server, highly available, and secure hybrid SharePoint farm from scratch. We’ll be starting with an overview of the design elements of SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016, then jumping right into a hands-on confirmation of the SQL database tier, the web tier, and the service application tier of a SharePoint farm, including hybrid deployment alongside SharePoint Online. Along the way, Michael will provide for best practices that have been learned from 15 years of experience with SharePoint. Learn how to build high availability into all tiers using cutting edge technologies such as SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups, automate deployments using virtual server templates and PowerShell commandlets, and how to lockdown and properly secure the servers.

Benefits of attending this tutorial: 

1. Examine the small infrastructure differences between SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 servers, and learn tips and tricks around best practices of deploying both platforms together with a hybrid SharePoint Online environment
2. View the step by step deployment of a production-ready multi-server SharePoint farm, designed to be both highly scalable and highly available.
3. Learn how to simplify some of the trickier aspects of a SharePoint deployment, namely the User Profile Sync Service, Search, and Hybrid configurations
