For those of you managing SharePoint deployments that serve a geographically-distributed pool of knowledge workers, AvePoint just published an informative white paper that discusses how to make sure geo-dispersed end users can collaborate at optimal levels.

 

The paper first defines the objectives any successful data-access optimization strategy must meet.   

Then it analayzes the various deployment architectures an organization can implemenent, highlighting the common pitfalls and barriers associated with each.  (Stuff like limited or intermittent network connectivity, event conflicts, and so on.) Finally, it reviews "best practice" approaches for delivering continuous SharePoint data access.  It's a great read for anyone trying to develop a system by which their geographically distributed end-users can collaborate unfettered. 

 

If this is you, be sure to read AvePoint's newest white paper:  Optimizing Data Access with Intelligent SharePoint Replication.
