Accelerating SharePoint Performance
Monday, May 14 @ 10:30 AM
Even though SharePoint has become a critical platform for many businesses, supporting user access and application availability can remain an unwieldy challenge. With global businesses relying more on SharePoint for intranet and/or internet applications for core business functions, insuring that SharePoint is just as fast as a custom ASP.NET website is critical to a company’s success. Whether you are using Microsoft SharePoint for intranets, extranets, or public-facing websites, enhanced performance and enabled enterprise-wide consolidation and business continuity planning is vital. So what's the best way to accelerate access to SharePoint across the WAN while reducing bandwidth utilization? And how can you optimize SharePoint to improve accessibility and lower costs? Join this session to hear how to measure, analyze and conduct real world tests using free tools readily available for internet and intranet websites (Google Labs, Webpagetest.org, Fiddler, SharePoint Developer Dashboard). We will go over what techniques you can use to improve your websites test results. Join Riverbed us to learn how to:
- Speed up SharePoint: The benefits of a faster SharePoint site – showing the ROI

Practical Tips to Increase SharePoint Adoption #spsuk11
Have you deployed SharePoint but none of your employees are using it? Despite having SharePoint within your organization, end users continue do their work the old fashioned way via email threads, file shares, paper based approval, etc. There is no guarantee that the solution will be adopted. This is the case even if users are involved in every step of your SharePoint solution.
Attend this session, to learn techniques I've used to increase adoption of SharePoint solutions that have become slow or stalled.

|  Join Principal SharePoint Architect, Kanwal Khipple, and Riverbed Solutions Manager, Dormain Drewitz, to learn how Riverbed’s industry leading RiOS® and Aptimize software have unique features for optimizing Microsoft SharePoint for improved performance and lower costs.
Microsoft SharePoint provides businesses with a powerful tool for content management, collaboration, and portal development, allowing users from around the globe to share documents and information. Although SharePoint provides a rich suite of team productivity tools, it often requires a centralized store for all business documents. As a result, users working remotely or on the road must access the portal over a WAN and often suffer suboptimal performance. Learn how to: - Accelerate access to SharePoint across the WAN while reducing bandwidth utilization
- Maximize SharePoint search capabilities and enable cross-regional collaboration
- Reduce hardware and management costs by consolidating SharePoint infrastructure
- Optimize your private or public cloud deployment of SharePoint
