Service Topology for Mid Size Farm

I am working on upgrade SP2007 to SP2010.  Below chart is a snapshot of  how I am planning to distribute the service across the various servers.  The goals are:
  1. Properly distributed the load across the servers
  2. Build a level of redundancy
  3. Prove a scalable environment
I know I will need to make adjustments along the way.  This will at least give me a starting point.  Hope this will help you guys out as well.

My First Blog

I've been wanting to start blogging for a while. It only took me about 5 years to finally decided to do it.  So here I am finally putting out my first blog.  In the coming days, I hope to start adding contents... anything and everything!

Just a little background about me.  I live in L.A. and have been working in the area for the past 15 years+.  After graduating from college, I have been jumping in-and-out of IT and Sales & Marketing.  In the past 8 years or so, my focus has been in the IT arena. Specifically, I've been busy implmenting Microsoft Sharepoint related solutions for various companies.  So expect to see lots of IT related info here.

Love to network... so feel free to email me.
