Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), with the Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 Resource Kit applied, has been successfully tested against the DoD 5015.2 records management standard. When choosing a records management solution, many companies and other organizations in highly-regulated industries will only consider a DoD 5015.2 certified solution.
Partners wishing to deliver DoD 5015.2 solutions to their customers can now download the DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit Source Code.
For partners and customers that would like to evaluate the DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit, an installable evaluation version is pending. Sample code for the most frequently requested features within the DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit will also be made available shortly, enabling partners to enhance the records management functionality of SharePoint 2007 for customers not required to run in a DoD 5015.2 certified state.
The SharePoint Capacity Planning Tool is a set of free models of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS).

One of the most frustrating aspects of SharePoint administration and development is the inability to get any sort of granular performance metrics for page objects (especially web parts). SharePoint can be a finicky beast - configure a setting wrong here, make the wrong object model call there, and performance slows to a crawl. Identifying which objects on a page are causing performance bottlenecks is more art than science, requiring a great deal of back and forth between development and IT, resulting in a tremendous amount of finger-pointing and lost productivity.
To meet this need we have created the Sonar suite of performance measurement tools for SharePoint.
