68. The Content Market
We’re in the content explosion era
Multiple information silos have been created
PC Hard drive (Files, PSTs, Video, Photos)
File Shares, Legacy ECM
Mobile devices, tablets, etc.
Cloud
ECM market is changing and SharePoint is winning the
battle
Familiar User Experience
Lower TCO
Consolidation point for multiple business requirements
Accessible on almost any device

69. Is SharePoint Ready for the Content
Explosion?

Migration and Upgrade Challenges
Consolidation Challenges

70. SharePoint Consolidation and Upgrade
SharePoint Migration Best Practices
Out of the box upgrade (e.g., SharePoint911 session
at SPC11)
Upcoming white paper (with SharePoint MVP, Michael
Noel)
What does “SharePoint Sprawl” really mean?
What do we do when SharePoint grows wild?
What about my other information?
7
71. Combatting Sprawl
Sprawl is “good”?
Invest in your Information Architecture
Invest in reorganise and migrate capability
Sprawl will still happen (probably)
Reorganise again
7
72. Adapter/Connection Performance
Fastest vs. Slowest Adaptors
Native Web Services (Remote… obviously)
Client Object Model (Remote for 2010 and future)
Server-side API
The fastest write is the local object model – 500
GB/hr!
Database (Read-only!)
The fastest read option is the database read-only
connection
Metalogix Extensions Web Service
Our tests have shown that the local object model
connection can be over 20 times faster than the
7 Native Web Services (NWS) connection.

76. Customer Example – Large Technology
Consultancy
Customer Pain
Needed to manage TBs of content in a hybrid cloud.
Concerns about performance and ease of
synchronising between environments.
Solution Benefits
Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint allowed
to migrate content between the on-premises and the
cloud environments. The built in support for
PowerShell and ability to schedule incremental
updates for synchronization solved the problem. The
solution currently enables them to move over
500GB per day

80. Customer Example – A Bank’s File Share
Chaos
Customer Pain:
File management issues on new SP 2010 farm
(upload, search, access) based on internal project to
decommission File Shares, with an initial target of
50,000 uploads per hour with average doc size of 500
KB each.
Solution Benefits:
StoragePoint provided users with ongoing
upload/access/search via the SharePoint UI. The key
factors in choosing a solution were transparent
externalization and enabling the upload of large
amounts of files in a short time - all proven
successful during a 30 day POC.

82. How to get your File Shares into SharePoint
Manual
Single or Multi-file upload via SharePoint UI
Explorer view
3rd party tools
Build a tool that use SharePoint OM, RPC, Client OM,
or Web Services
Obvious caveats

84. SharePoint and TBs of Content – Fact or
Fiction?
Is RBS an OOB feature/capability of SharePoint 2010
SQL Performance is Improved
Content DB recommendations still apply
BLOB externalisation and Archiving are Separate
Scenarios
Backup and Restore

what cost)

85. Customer Example – Technology Company
Customer Pain
The Customer was consolidating content from multiple
sources into SharePoint and needed a solution to cope with
their current 10TB of content plus be able to handle the
future content growth. Their users were also complaining
about long upload times for larger files
Solution Benefits
StoragePoint enabled the team to scale their SharePoint to
cope with their existing content volumes whilst also allowing
them to grow that volume in future without the need to
heavily invest in their existing SQL implementation. The BLOB
offloading also meant that upload times for large files were
significantly improved.

86. Why BLOB Remoting?
The simple case for Remote BLOB Storage
On average, 90-95% of a SharePoint content
database’s storage overhead is comprised of
content BLOBs.
BLOBs can be stored on less-expensive
storage and SQL clusters can be right-sized
DOC
TIFF
PDF sans all the BLOB I/O.
XLS PPT
Eliminate performance and scalability
challenges around native BLOB storage
Attached
architecture
Direct-
Smaller and fewer content databases. Can
leverage DFS, snapshot-ing, and/or
Addressable
Network-
mirroring for BLOB store recovery.
BLOBs can be remoted to WORM-compliant
storage platforms like EMC Centera,
Cloud
Hitachi HCAP, or OSAR.
You can implement HSM where content
can be moved to less expensive storage
