New SharePoint 2010 Features for IT Professionals

SharePoint 2010 - New Features for IT Professionals Be More Productive

SharePoint 2010 gives you deeper insight into operations. Features include an easy-to-use Central Administration Web site, new capabilities to manage and monitor your SharePoint farm, and Microsoft Windows PowerShell support.

Manage a Unified, Scalable Infrastructure

SharePoint 2010 provides a single, scalable infrastructure that allows better control over server resources. For example, you can manage large lists more easily and improve data management and protection using high availability. A scalable services architecture also helps you centralise services like Search, My Sites, and Taxonomy. These services can be managed through Central Administration and scripted by Windows PowerShell. Plus, because the architecture is extensible, third-party companies can build and add services to the platform.

Maintain Control with Flexible Deployment Options

​SharePoint 2010 provides a simple installation and configuration process, including a smooth upgrade from SharePoint 2007. What’s more, new features can help you manage how your people use SharePoint 2010. For example, you can allow site administrators to upload custom code with Sandbox Solutions. You also have more control over how the system is set up: If you want to maintain a centralised SharePoint system, you can block decentralised deployments through Group Policy or track them with Active Directory marker support.
