As organizations scale the use of SharePoint as a content management system, supporting document management, records management, collaboration and archiving, they are moving workloads tradionally supported by file shares and by email attachments to SharePoint.In the process, the storage burden for document-centric content is placed on SharePoint's data tier-- the conent databases hosted by SQL Server, and often located on the most highly performing and expensive Tier 1 storage resources in the enterprise.

The results are skyrocking storage costs, and counterintivitue for SharePoint performance. If you are struggling to architect an optimized, scaleable, cost effective storage architecture for SharePoint that supports potentially terabytes or tens of terabytes (TBs) of content then read this white paper to gain insight in how to execute such a system through binary large object storage (BLOBs).
