We have a client who is intersted in creating a SharePoint farm that will host all of their content , but at the same time will also be very very heavy on BI. THey want all BI services(Powerpivot, Reporting Services, PowerVIew, Excel, Performance Point) And it will be heavily utilized by over 500 people. In this situation would it be best practice to have which of the following scenarios
Option 1) the config and Content databases on its own SQL server and separate SQL server holding the BI information such as SSRS and SSAS and reporting DB's?
OR
Option 2) Config, contentDB, reporting DBS, SSRS and SSAS all on Same SQL Server?
Does anyone have any architecture diagrams which support this? Thanks for any help. Hope that made sense. Please let me know if option 1 or 2 is better
