Microsoft SharePoint is a robust platform for enterprise content, but with growth comes performance, manageability, and storage cost challenges. Unstructured SharePoint data, or binary large objects (BLOBs), can become a significant performance drain on SharePoint's SQL database. By leveraging EMC storage and Metalogix StoragePoint, organizations can remove BLOBs from SharePoint creating a more scalable and better performing SharePoint environment, while reducing overall storage costs and moving content to less expensive storage tiers. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how you can optimize your SharePoint environment with EMC storage and Metalogix StoragePoint, review relevant reference architectures, and help you reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of your SharePoint environment.

Learn to optimize your SharePoint storage by moving binary-large-objects (BLOBs) out of the SQL database. Significantly improve SharePoint performance and decrease expensive SQL storage. Removing BLOB’s from SharePoint has become a popular subject recently but there are still many myths and some uncertainty about how best to implement a solution of this nature.

Discover new possibilities for saving time and disk space within your SharePoint backup and recovery strategy, and how Metalogix Selective Restore Manager and Red Gate SQL Virtual Restore can work in conjunction to help you do this.

Featuring Patrick Dowling, VP of Business Development at Metalogix

For Exchange Standard users, driving over 65 is a guaranteed accident. Even for small businesses, most Exchange users can count on their accumulated email data to race towards the 100GB (and even 1TB!) milestones. Unfortunately for users of Exchange Standard Edition, Exchange will literally stop working as the quantity of email data, including attachments, reaches a critical threshold of 70 GB. Driving close to this speed limit at, say, 65GB can result in system failure and a highly visible, costly interruption to your organization.. Rebuilding Exchange servers is never a pleasant task. As we discuss in this Webinar, it is particularly difficult to rebuild a system at 65GB as the administrator must draw on prior backup generations and perform manual synchronization from journals. We will discuss not only the pain of this scenario, but also the way to avoid it completely through integration of an Exchange archiving solution.

File shares continue to present a problem for both Business and IT and over the last few years there have been several attempts to improve the situation through the use of sophisticated storage devices that employ additional specialised management features.

Featuring Danny Burlage, CTO of Wortell, and owner of the popular "BPOS Rocks" blog

There has recently been a great deal of interest in Microsoft’s BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services) offering. However, while the benefits of using this technology are well documented there is little guidance given about how best to move all the business resources and knowledge contained within existing information silos to Microsoft’s Cloud.

Danny and Stephen will discuss their experiences of consolidating and migration information from multiple sources to a central cloud repository by using products such as Metalogix File Share Migration Manager. Key issues covered in the session are the need to analyze the content within the information silos, and to retain, and make better use of the metadata associated with that information once it resides in SharePoint Online.
