Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is a document storage and collaboration platform which offers many benefits to Organisations. SharePoint deployments may take many different forms in scope, where a deployment may be focused on only delivering one feature, for example enterprise search, or many features, for example document management, business intelligence, web content management, and workflows. Deployments can also differ greatly in size, with small deployments of a single server up to large deployments with farms of 15 or more servers.
In this module, you'll learn about core features of SharePoint 2013, new features in this version, and what has been removed. You'll also learn about the basic structural elements of a farm deployment and how they fit together. Finally you'll learn about the different deployment options available to SharePoint 2013.
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:
Information architecture (IA) defines the structures by which an Organisation catalogs information. Designing an IA requires detailed understanding of the information held in an Organisation and its usage, context, volatility, and governance. A good IA rationalises the creation and storage of content and streamlines its surfacing and use.
IA design should be platform-neutral, but it must also be driven by the functionality of its environment. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 provides a rich and functional platform for the development and implementation of efficient and effective IA structures. The integral use of metadata throughout SharePoint 2013 means that an IA designer has a range of storage, navigation, and retrieval options to maximise usability in a well-structured IA.
In this module, you'll learn about the core elements of IA design and the facilities and devices available in SharePoint 2013 to deploy effective information management solutions.

Designing a Logical Architecture
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:
When designing a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 deployment, you must carefully consider the hardware and farm topology requirements. Your choices of server hardware and the number of servers that you specify for the farm can have a significant impact on how the farm meets user requirements, how users perceive the SharePoint solution, and how long before the farm requires additional hardware.
This module describes the factors that you should consider when you design the physical architecture of a SharePoint 2013 deployment. The physical architecture refers to the server design, farm topology, and supporting elements—such as network infrastructure—for your deployment. This physical architecture underpins the operations of your SharePoint 2013 environment, so it is vital that your physical design completely meets the operational requirements.
Designing a Physical Architecture
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:

Service applications were introduced in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, replacing the Shared Service Provider architecture of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Service applications provide a flexible design for delivering services, such as Managed Metadata or PerformancePoint, to users who need them. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 includes more than 20 services, some of which are new to this version, whereas others are enhanced. In planning and configuring service applications, it is important that you understand the dependencies, resource usage, and business requirements for each.
This module reviews the basic service application architecture, the essentials of planning your service application deployment, and the configuration of your service applications. This module does not discuss sharing, or federation, of service applications. This is covered in more detail in course 20332B: Advanced Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.
Planning and Configuring Service Applications
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:
Many Organisations need to store sensitive or confidential information. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 includes a complete set of security features, which you can use to help ensure that users with the appropriate rights and permissions can access the information they need, can modify the data they are responsible for, but that they cannot access or modify confidential information, or information that is not intended for them. The SharePoint 2013 security model is highly flexible and adaptable to your Organisation’s needs.
In this module, you'll learn about the various authorisation and security features available in SharePoint 2013 to help you maintain a secure SharePoint environment. Specifically, you'll be learning about authorisation and permissions in SharePoint 2013, and managing access to content in SharePoint 2013.
Managing Users and Groups
Securing Content in SharePoint Sites
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:
Authentication is the process by which you establish the identity of users and computers. Authorisation controls access to resources by assigning permissions to users and computers. To provide authorisation to consumers of Microsoft SharePoint content and services, whether they are end users, server platforms, or SharePoint apps, you first have to verify that they are who they claim to be. Together, authentication and authorisation play a central role in the security of a SharePoint 2013 deployment by ensuring that consumers can only access resources to which you have explicitly granted them access.
In this module, you'll learn about the authentication infrastructure in SharePoint 2013. you'll learn how to configure SharePoint to work with a variety of authentication providers, and you'll learn how to configure authenticated connections between SharePoint and other server platforms.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not just a group of websites. It is also a site-provisioning engine for intranets, extranets, and Internet sites, a collection of databases, an application platform, and a platform for collaboration and social features, as well as being many other things. In addition to it touching your network, it also touches your line-of-business (LOB) applications and Microsoft Active Directory; therefore, it has a large attack surface to consider and protect. SharePoint 2013 is supplied with several security features and tools out-of-the-box to help you secure it.
In this module, you'll learn how to secure and harden your SharePoint 2013 farm deployment and how to configure several security settings at the farm level.
Hardening a SharePoint 2013 Server Farm
Configuring Farm-Level Security
Having completed this module you'll be able to:
In order to organise information and make that information easier to find and work with, you can label and categorise information. With files and items in Microsoft SharePoint, you can apply metadata, which could be a category, a classification, or a tag, in order to organise your content and make it easier to work with.
In most organisations, the most effective way to implement metadata is through a defined taxonomy that you have standardised through stakeholder input. This enables users to select metadata terms from a predefined list, which provides standard results.
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 can further enhance the application of metadata by using content types. Organisations can use content types to standardise specific types of files, documents, or list items and include metadata requirements, document templates, retention settings, and workflow directly.
Configuring Content Type Propagation
Configuring and Using Managed Metadata Term Sets
Having completed this module, you'll be able to:
Social computing environments enable organisations to quickly identify co-workers, team members, and others with similar roles or requirements in an organisation. Social features in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 enable users to quickly gain updates and insight into how other members of the organisation are working and what information or processes people are developing, along with the progress being achieved.
The SharePoint 2013 social platform is based around the capabilities provided by the user profile service application, supported by other services, such as the Managed Metadata Service and the Search service. The User Profile Service provides configuration and control over importing profile data, creating My Sites, managing audiences, and users can utilise these features.
Configuring User Profiles
Configuring My Sites and Audiences
