Optimize Your SharePoint Storage
Are you looking for a way to quickly optimize your SharePoint storage? Is SharePoint storage optimization on the top of your wish list? Here’s how to optimize your SharePoint storage with Metalogix StoragePoint.
One of the often overlooked features of SharePoint is the ability to use software that leverages Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) or External BLOB Storage (EBS) to move Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) out of the SQL database while providing seamless access for users through SharePoint. BLOBs don’t belong in SQL, because they aren’t structured content. So put them where they belong: in more cost-effective media, which will optimize performance and costs. Why is it an often overlooked way to optimized storage? Because, in order to leverage RBS or EBS, you must either use a third-party enterprise software application, like StoragePoint, or write your own solution.
SharePoint storage optimization is an important step in fixing existing SharePoint environments or establishing new SharePoint environments designed to handle growth and scalability. Using our robust—yet easy-to-configure—software, you can quickly optimize your SharePoint storage with a complete storage solution for SharePoint. StoragePoint now includes archiving capabilities as well as Hierarchical Storage Management to seamlessly direct BLOBs to tiered storage media based on profiles you establish.
For optimal SharePoint storage, you need to move BLOBs out of SQL for more efficient storage. StoragePoint runs as a service within SharePoint and is configured within SharePoint Central Administration. Once setup is complete, it directs BLOBs to the media selected in your storage profiles, allowing you to move these files out of SQL databases and onto more cost-effective media, while still providing seamless content access.
