SharePoint 2013 有四个平台可以供我们使用：
SharePoint in Office 365 （云端服务）
- Secure external sharing and collaboration (unique feature!).
- Intranet — team sites, My Sites, and internal collaboration
- Document storage and versioning in the cloud.
- Basic public-facing website.
Additional features with Office 365 Dedicated Subscription Plans:
- Microsoft data center equipment that is dedicated to your company or organization and not shared with any other organization.
- Each customer environment resides in a physically separate network.
- Client communication across an IPSec-secured VPN or customer-owned private connection. Two-factor authentication is optional.
- ITAR-support plans.
＊这个平台就是给钱Microsoft然后用他们的服务。不用管那些Licenses的钱了。
那IT Pro就没工做了？哈哈。。还是有的：
- Ensure user workstations meet Office 365 client prerequisites.
- Implement the directory integration plan.
- Plan and implement internal and external DNS records and routing.
- Configure the proxy or firewall for Office 365 IP address and URL requirements.
- Create and assign permissions to site collections.
- Implement customizations, solutions, and apps for SharePoint Online.
- Monitor network availability and identify possible bottlenecks.
Architecture 的范围看来比较好玩点，但是做完就没得玩了。
- Plan and design directory integration. Two options (either option can be deployed on premises or in Windows Azure): ＃Password sync (requires one 64-bit server). ＃ Single sign-on (requires ADFS and multiple servers).
- Ensure network capacity and availability through firewalls, proxy servers, gateways, and across WAN links.
- Acquire third-party SSL certificates to provide enterprise-security for Office 365 service offerings.
- Plan the tenant name, design site. collection architecture and governance.
- Plan customizations, solutions, and apps for SharePoint Online.
- Decide if you want to connect to Office 365 by using the Internet Protocol 6 (IPv6) — not common.
Hybrid with Office 365 ( Combination of Office 365 + on-premise)
- 好处是有SharePoint Search , Business Connectivity, Duet Enterprise Online
- Users can see search results from both environments. Extranet users can log in remotely with an on-premises Active Directory account and use all available hybrid functionality
- From SharePoint Online: Users can perform both read and write operations. The BCS service connects to an on-premises SharePoint Server 2013 farm. The BCS service configured on the on-premises farm brokers the connection to on-premises OData Service endpoints.
- From SharePoint Online: Users can perform read and write operations against an on-premises SAP system.
- Use Office 365 for external sharing and collaboration instead of setting up an extranet environment
- Move My Sites (Sky Drive Pro) to the cloud to make it easier for users to access their files remotely.
- Start new team sites in Office 365.
- Integrate an Office 365 site with on-premises BCS SharePoint environment.
Windows Azure (基本来说就是微软帮我们hosting- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS))
- Windows Azure is a platform that provides the infrastructure and app services needed to host a SharePoint 2013 farm.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- Best native cloud platform for SQL Server and SharePoint.
- Computing resources are available almost immediately with no commitment.
- Focus on applications, instead of datacenters and infrastructure
- Inexpensive development and test environments
- SharePoint solutions can be accessible from the Internet or only accessible from a corporate environment through a site-to-site VPN tunnel.
- Customizations are not limited.
好处是：
- SharePoint for Internet Sites — Public facing sites. Take advantage of Windows Azure AD for customer accounts and authentication.
- Developer, test, and staging environments — Quickly provision and un-provision entire environments.
- Hybrid applications — Applications that span your datacenter and the cloud.
- Disaster recovery environment — Quickly recover from a disaster, only pay for use
- Farms that require deep reporting or auditing.
- Web analytics.
- Data encryption at rest (data is encrypted in the SQL databases).
那钱当然要给多点了：
- Windows Azure subscription (includes the server operating system)
- SQL Server
- SharePoint 2013 Server License
- SharePoint 2013 Client Access License
Architect 和 IT pro 就比较好玩多了（不然公司请你来做么？）
On Premises（这就是普通我们Sharepoint2007/2010在公司用的）
