Site ArchitectureSPWeb entity is a collection of web pages and can be thought of as a sub‐siteSPSite is a collection of SPWebs
Site collections bridge logical architecture and information architectureThe design goals for site collections in the model are to satisfy requirements for URL design and to create logical divisions of content
List
Fundamental data structure in SharePointCollection of items or rows and can be used to store application dataList and List Items are enabled via two core classes SPList and SPListItemA variety of built-in list types can solve many business needs without requiring custom development
Content Types
Content Types encapsulate a data schema in a reusable mannerOnce the content type is defined, it can be associated with listsMore than one content type can be associated with a listAny change made to the content type will impact all lists associated to itContent Types also support notion of inheritance
Shared Services
MOSS 2007 includes a set of services that can be shared across Web applicationsShared services greatly reduces the resources required to provide these services across multiple portal sites. A Shared Services Provider (SSP) provides a logical grouping of shared services and their supporting resources

Shared service oriented architecture(fx http, XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI)
Importance of Interoperability
Integration Strategies
Capture a remote page's HTML using the Page Viewer Web Part
Remotely consume a SAP content via the iView webpart
Pull data registered from the Business Data Catalog (BDC)
Grab a remote block of HTML via WSRP consumption
Search and discover indexed content from structured and unstructured data sources
Deliver and interact with XML Data through DataViews
Embed third-party custom Web Parts
Render data retrieved via a RSS feed
Display distilled business intelligence data
Render local data and content
Deliver Data via platform neutral (SOAP) Web Services

Advantages & Benefits:Existing SQL Server disaster recovery strategies can be re-usedCan provide substantially faster Backup/Restore than MOSS 2007’s Native Backup/RestoreCan leverage 3rd party tools such as LiteSpeed for SQL Server to improve Backup/Restore Performance Provides a full-fidelity data backup
“My SQL servers are managed by a separate organization or data center from my SharePoint installations…”
“I prefer SQL Server Backups for Performance and Availability…”
Supported Authentication MethodsAuthentication method
Description Examples
Windows Standard IIS Windows authentication methods are supported
Anonymous Basic Digest Certificates Kerberos (Integrated Windows) NTLM (Integrated Windows)
ASP.NET forms ASP.NET authentication enables SharePoint to work with identity management systems that implement the MembershipProvider interface
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) SQL database or other database Other ASP.NET-based forms authentication solutions
Web Single Sign-On (SSO)
SharePoint supports federated authentication through Web SSO vendors. Web SSO enables SSO in environments that include services running on disparate platforms
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) Other identity management systems
