Concepts

The logical result of SharePoint 2013's flexibility and richness can be a high degree of complexity around installing and configuring SharePoint 2013 correctly. A fundamental understanding of the following key structural elements in a SharePoint 2013 environment is required in order to correctly deploy and support SharePoint 2013:

Server farm: The top-level element of a logical architecture design for SharePoint 2013.

Web application: An IIS Web site that is created and used by SharePoint 2013.

Content database: Provides storage Web application content. You can separate content into multiple content databases at the site collection level.

Site collection: A set of Web sites that have the same owner and share administration settings.

Site: One or more related Web pages and other items (such as lists, libraries, and documents) that are hosted inside a site collection.

For more information about these and other architectural components, see Logical architecture components (SharePoint Server 2010).

In addition to understanding the elements of a SharePoint 2013 environment and how they have to be configured for your solution, you must consider the following additional factors: physical architecture, installation and configuration, and the various stages of deployment.
