Why Organizations Deploying SharePoint Should Consider Remote BLOB Storage
                                     (RBS)
SharePoint software has evolved immensely and the history of the content management
system is quite fascinating. It began as a departmental collaboration and document
management tool. It has grown from an application running on a server under a desk to
an enterprise-wide, mission-critical system. The growth of SharePoint is often
underestimated.
In order to manage this growth and reduce ongoing storage and management costs,
organizations should consider remote BLOB storage (RBS). A third-party RBS solution
does have costs associated with it, but those costs could be much greater in the long run if
an RBS solution is not implemented when needed.
Remote BLOB storage brings value to SharePoint in many ways. It enhances
performance and scalability of SharePoint while reducing Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO) and provides flexible storage options for storing unstructured SharePoint content.
These different storage options provide lower storage costs, lower overall TCO, and
support for compliance scenarios that were previously not supported. RBS also reduces
management overhead by reducing the size of SharePoint content databases (SQL Server
databases) and creating new options for backup, restore, disaster recovery, and high-
availability scenarios. Remote BLOB storage can provide immediate and often
significant return on investment (ROI) depending on the current state of the SharePoint
deployment. The ROI will come from reduced up-front storage procurement costs for
organizations deploying new hardware in the form of storage infrastructure.
Expanding SharePoint environments in an organization without a remote BLOB storage
solution can almost certainly have a negative impact. The cost of choosing to store all
unstructured content in SQL Server databases can be extremely high because the high
number of IOPS required per GB result in overprovisioned, underutilized disks. The
amount of disks required to support a large SharePoint content database can be very large
and result in significant costs, both in procurement and ongoing maintenance, for storage.
By storing unstructured content outside of the database, usually on a less expensive tier,
RBS alleviates this concern.
In order to control costs in the long and short term it is necessary to plan for deployment
and ongoing management of a SharePoint environment. RBS provides immediate cost
savings in the short term and significant cost savings in the long term as the SharePoint
environment continues to grow.
