Architecture design for SharePoint Server 2010
Architecture design consists of physical architecture and logical architecture. Use the articles and models on this page to help you start designing your architecture.
Models are posters that detail a specific technical area. You can download and modify the files to illustrate how you plan to incorporate Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 in your own environment.
Find links to all of the SharePoint Server 2010 model posters on the technical diagrams page in the TechNet library.
