Anonymous

2013/2010

Anonymous access should not be turned on without testing first, but if needed due to your project requirements:

First turn on anonymous for the web application zone.

Central Admin > Application Management > Authentication Providers > zone > enable anonymous

Second turn on anonymous for the site collection. 

Lock down permissions

Other Issues
“Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” Site Collection Feature that you might need to disable as well.

Issues Uploading Large Files To SharePoint

Separate User and Database Traffic
Isolate Search Indexing
Adjust SQL parameters
- Provision the major SharePoint databases onto separate physical disks
- Reduce DB Fragmentation – limit use of Autogrowth/Autoshrink
Defragment Database Indexes
Distribute User Data across multiple Content Databases
Minimize page Size
Configure IIS Compression
Take advantage of Caching – Cache Profiles, Object Cache
Manage page Customizations
Limit Navigation Depth

Chris McNulty from Quest - http://www.chrismcnulty.net/SitePages/Home.aspx

Horsepower

don’t forget about paging file 1-2x
WFE Tier 8-16 GB RAM
Virtual OK but watch for other services
APP Tier - 8-12 GB RAM
But do not forget about CPU.  Service like search can be very heavy with search threads.
DB Tier – 8-24 GB RAM
I/O – Not good for Virtual without proper setup

SQL Setup – Very Important

Set growth to 50-100 MB clumps not a percentage – will slow growth
Presize TempDB to 20% of Content DB
Size
Small less than 100 users but can grow if just basic collaboration site
Medium 100 – 10,000 users and 10,000 to 1 Million docs
Large 10,000 + and 1Million+ Docs

Limits

2 GB file size and 30 Million Docs in library

Disk Growth

except 10-20%
Without Maintenance small SP database will grow to 1 TB
Reduce size using EBS/RBS but third party recommend such as Avepoint or Metalogix
RAID 5 or RAID 10

Perf Tools

Dev Dashboard
1/4 to 1/2 second response ok –
Helps to troubleshoot more memory/sql query/web part issues

Logging

WSS Logging Database will grow to about 10-20 GB
ULS view or use views in SSMS of the WSS_Logging Database using T-SQL

Optimize

Blob Cache for static items that only get refreshed every 24 hours (web.config)  IIS 7 and IE 8
IOmeter Open Source testing tool or use Idera tools
