BLOB externalization for SharePoint - Metalogix StoragePoint

·4 mins

Since SharePoint itself is not the best option for storing large amount of files (which can be also quite large) and serving them (performance, content DB size limitations etc.) I was evaluating some options for content externalization. I will not get into much details about the reasons for using such solutions because there are many well written articles about this on the Net (like “SharePoint 2010: Storing Documents on the File System with Remote Blob Storage” by Damon Armstrong). I will focus on one - Metalogix StoragePoint.

Welcome on my new blog (and also the first one).
In few days I plan to picture some of my first experiences with development in SharePoint 2010. They are related with my current project - custom upload form with Telerik upload control (Silverlight) that will entirely replace the standard OOB upload mechanism for custom document libraries.
