Setting the Portal Site Connection with PowerShell in SharePoint 2010 (Via Todd O. Klindt )

Extract from the original post
“When I do SharePoint admin talks I also preach the value of scaling by site collections instead of webs. This provides numerous benefits like permissions boundaries, scalability, and quotas.

Navigation is also bounded at the site collection level, so each site collection has different navigation, which makes it difficult for end users to get out of the site collection to other SharePoint content. Discoverability is an issue.”
