  1. Microsoft Office Project 2007 Server Architecture Overview Ameya Bhatawdekar Program Manager, Project Microsoft Corporation Paul Holdaway Consultant, Microsoft Consulting Services (UK) Microsoft Corporation

  2. Agenda • Project Server is seen as the Office Server Group’s best-kept secret… • Significant changes for Project Server 2007 • This session • – an introduction-cum-overview • Next session • – A deeper technical session

  3. Project’s Growing Pains • Latency-sensitive client  WAN issues • Peak arrival rates cause problems • Infrastructure is visibly complex • Troubleshooting is time consuming • Customization is expensive and hard • Reporting isn't fully "joined up" • Data extraction is hard

  4. The Result: Project 2007

  5. Quick Overview- Welcome to Project 2007

  6. LOB Applications Project’s Integrated Platform Project Server Interface Scheduling Engine Reporting Warehouse Other Server Objects Timesheet Workflows

  9. Project: Office Server Integration • Common setup andprovisioning framework • Integrated farm-level operations • Integrated authentication framework • Webpart framework allows easy assembly of role-based workspaces • Cross-project workspace reporting on • Issues • Risks • Deliverables

  10. Project: Integrated Security • ASP.NET 2.0 Membership Providers • Testing with • Windows • SQL Auth • LDAP (AD) • Other Providers • SSO • ADFS • ADAM

  11. Project: Site Customization

  12. Project Server 2007- Integrated Operations

  13. Project: Powerful Reporting • Project 2007 is "Report ready" • Realizes the full value of your data • Three schema • EPM data • Timesheet data • Collaboration data • Extensible

  14. Project: Server Data Engine

  15. Project: Three Schemas

  16. Project: Client & Server Reports

  17. Project Server 2007 - The Reporting Platform

  18. Programmable & Extensible • Enforce business rules • Define automatic workflows • Extend the user interface • Integrate with LOB applications • Leverage existing skills and toolsets • Deliver high levels of programmer productivity

  19. Project Server 2007 - Programming The PSI

  20. Project: Server-Side Events • New server-side programming model • Out of process,and "farm friendly” • AppDomains for scalable in-hosting • Event arguments provide data, it can be supplemented with RDB and PSI calls • Pre and post events

  21. Scalable, Reliable, Manageable • Project Server Queue • Project Local (client-side) Cache • Better Logging / Tracing

  22. Project Server 2007 - Project Server Queue

  23. Project: Server Queue Mr. Orange Mr. Green

  24. Project: Capacity Planning

  25. Project: Queue Architecture Project Server 2007 Client Apps Save, Publish, Build cube etc Job ID WinProj Third-party Apps Is my job done ? (Job ID) PWA Status Queue

  26. Project Server 2007 - Project Local Cache

  27. Local Disk Edge Server Central Database Project: Local Cache • Reliable • Handles intermittent network failures • Built in re-try mechanism • Scalable • Uses HTTP(S) to talk to server • Manageable • Client-side logs

  28. Project Server 2007 - Logging & Tracing Improvements

  29. Project: Managing Infrastructure • Server-wide use of Three-Tier logging • End-user message • Event Log message • Server Log file • Farm Management Website • Increased focus on Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM)
