What are the Options?

SharePoint On Premises

Hosted SharePoint

Dedicated Hosting

How do you decide?


On premises: in your datacenter

Hosted SharePoint: in their datacenter ◦ Shared service

◦ What is a shared service?

Dedicated Hosting: in their datacenter ◦ Dedicated service

◦ Different types of offering

◦ What is a dedicated service?


Total Control You own it ◦ Long term license ◦ Your data ◦ Your servers ◦ Your security

You define it ◦ Functionality ◦ Features ◦ Customizations

You set timelines ◦ Patching ◦ Upgrades


Complexity ◦ Need expertise

Costs ◦ Hard costs

◦ Soft costs

Operation and Management

Control over the platform? ◦ No

Control over your service? ◦ Some

Pay for what you need/use

With Office 365, you pay $9,600 each year

With On Premises, you don’t

But with On Premises you do pay:

◦ To keep it up and running

◦ To fix problems

◦ To upgrade

… hold that thought

Implementation Costs 24/7 Support Costs Antivirus/Anti-SPAM High Availability Disaster Recovery Networking/Power/HVAC Huge Mailboxes (50 GB) Large Email Attachments Office Online


You don’t own it

You don’t define the service

Serves the lowest common denominator

Limitations ◦ 2013 only?

◦ How can you customize it?

◦ What features can you get?

You don’t set the timeline

Reduced visibility


Different types of hosting options ◦ SharePoint as a service ◦ Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS)

Owned and managed by a service provider ◦ But levels of management vary

Control over the operating system? ◦ No

Control over the platform? ◦ Maybe

Control over your service? ◦ More than Shared, less than On Premises

Several providers in the market ◦ Microsoft:

Office 365 – Dedicated SharePoint Online Azure IAAS

◦ AWS (IAAS) ◦ Rackspace – IAAS or Dedicated Hosted SharePoint ◦ FPWeb – Dedicated Hosted SharePoint ◦ Many more


Some Control

You don’t share it

You can define it more

You don’t manage the OS

You may not manage the platform

Support included

Defined cost


Lack of total control

Higher cost than shared

More responsibilities? ◦ IAAS: patching/upgrades

Less control over: ◦ Timelines

◦ Functionality

◦ Features

You don’t own the platform


Where do you want to put your SharePoint environment?

What do you want to do in it?

How much control do you want?

Long term plan for IT?

Security requirements? ◦ Any other special requirements?

How much expertise do you have?

What SLAs do you need?

What other services do you need?

How much do you want to pay?
