A farm is a collection of servers running SharePoint, managed via Central Administration.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 represented a significant evolution in Microsoft’s enterprise content management and collaboration platform. Released as the successor to SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007), it introduced a redesigned user interface, enhanced social computing features, improved developer tools, and deeper integration with Office client applications. This paper examines the architecture, core capabilities, deployment considerations, and legacy of SharePoint Server 2010 within the context of enterprise information management.

SharePoint 2010 leveraged SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2010 for workflow authoring, supporting reusable workflows and site-level workflows. Notably, it introduced the Workflow Manager and supported declarative workflows without code, though complex logic still required custom activities in Visual Studio.
