Any Featured EBooks
This eBook is not new, but it’s certainly still valid and more SharePoint Administrators should read it. It’s an eBook I did about two years ago about Maximizing SQL Performance for SharePoint. With 94% of SharePoint data stored in SQL, optimising your SQL Server is critical to have a fast SharePoint deployment. You can get the whitepaper here: https://doc.co/jgdfXk
A cool new tool
Check out this Codeplex project that works for both SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Server 2016 that allows you to create Host Named Site Collections directly from the SharePoint Central Admin. Out of the box, Microsoft only allows you to create them using PowerShell, so this tool can come in handy. Make sure to download the right version from the downloads page!
