Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Intranets

The Solution Accelerator for Intranets is a collection of documents that present a prescriptive and tested approach that is supported by Microsoft, for designing, deploying, operating, and growing an effective intranet solution. For the development of an intranet solution based on SharePoint Products and Technologies, the Accelerator resources address issues that are not discussed in the product documentation, such as planning for service readiness, resource requirements and capacity. Also covered are topics such as systems monitoring, backup and restore processes, planning for growth and disaster recovery.
