PerformancePoint Services:

PerformancePoint Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides flexible, easy-to-use tools for building dashboards, scorecards, and key performance indicators (KPIs).

Records Management:

In SharePoint Server 2010, you can manage records in an archive, or you can manage records in the same document repository as active documents.

Sandboxed Solutions:

A solution is deployable, reusable package that can contain features, site definitions, and other functionality. Solutions can be enabled or disabled individually. We can deploy a solution directly on to SharePoint server farm, or else we can deploy solution directly in to sandbox. Sandbox is a restricted execution environment that enables programs to access only certain resources, and that keeps problems that occur in the sandbox from effecting the rest of the server environment. solutions that deploy into a sandbox are known as sandbox solutions. As sandbox solutions cannot effect the whole server farm, they do not have to be deployed by a farm administrator. Sandboxed solutions can be deployed by a site administrator or in certain situations by a user who has full control permission level at the root of the site collection. But only a farm administrator can configure sandboxed solutions.

Social Computing:

SharePoint Server 2010 includes social networking tools such as My Site Web sites and social content technologies such as blogs, wikis, and really simple syndication (RSS). These features are built upon a database of properties that integrates information about people from many kinds of business applications and directory services. You can adapt content to each user while enabling administrators to set policies to protect privacy.

Visio Services:

The Visio Graphics Service is a service on the SharePoint Server 2010 platform that enables users to share and view Visio diagrams and enables data-connected Microsoft Visio 2010 diagrams to be refreshed and updated from a variety of data sources.

Windows PowerShell:
