SHAREPOINT BLOB STORAGE SOLUTION WITH METALOGIX AND EMC ISILON SCALE-OUT NAS Increase efficiency and performance ESSENTIALS Comprehensive SharePoint BLOB storage solution • Combines Metalogix StoragePoint and EMC Isilon scale-out NAS Increase performance • Rely on Metalogix StoragePoint to store SharePoint BLOB data outside the SQL Server database • Further accelerate performance with EMC Isilon scale-out NAS Gain new efficiency • Optimize content storage resources and performance automatically with a policy-based approach • Achieve over 80% storage utilization for BLOB data with EMC Isilon scaleout NAS • Use Metalogix StoragePoint to compress BLOBs to further reduce storage requirements and footprint • Simplify and automate to lower administrative costs Content files, or Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), such as presentations, PDFs and images weigh heavily on Microsoft SharePoint database performance. To address this problem, externalizing or storing BLOBs outside the Microsoft SQL Server database can enable enterprises to optimize the performance of their SharePoint environment, while increasing scalability and reducing infrastructure costs. COMPREHENSIVE SHAREPOINT BLOB DATA STORAGE SOLUTION Metalogix and EMC® have teamed to offer a comprehensive BLOB storage solution to address the challenge of managing BLOB data in a Microsoft SharePoint Server environment. Based on Metalogix StoragePoint software and EMC Isilon® scale-out NAS storage, this solution is designed to help enterprises easily externalize BLOBs to increase performance and gain new efficiencies. ACCELERATE PERFORMANCE By externalizing BLOBs, Metalogix StoragePoint shrinks SQL Server databases by up to 95% while bypassing SQL Server bottlenecks for BLOB data I/O. Lean databases and fast content file I/O help to significantly improve overall SharePoint performance. PROVIDE A HIGHLY SCALEABLE SHAREPOINT ENVIRONMENT Managing large data files, especially individual files over 2 GB in size, can be very difficult in a SharePoint environment. With the SharePoint BLOB storage solution from Metalogix and EMC Isilon, managing large data files is extremely easy. Metalogix StoragePoint works natively with SharePoint. StoragePoint is a .NET application that adheres to the SharePoint Object Model and uses the standard Microsoft Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) and External BLOB Storage (EBS) interfaces. EMC Isilon storage systems provide massive scalability to meet your growing SharePoint data storage requirements. Isilon systems scale easily from a minimum three-node cluster configuration that provides 18TB of storage capacity up to a 144 node cluster that provides 20 PB of storage capacity. Nodes can be added to an existing Isilon cluster quickly, typically in less than a minute. As a result, you can easily scale capacity on a grow-as-you-go basis and thereby avoid over-provisioning of storage resources. SOLUTION OVERVIEW THE METALOGIX STORAGEPOINT ADVANTAGE • Leverages SharePoint's Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) API to externally store BLOBs on Isilon NAS • Completely transparent to end users • Reduces SQL content database by up to 95% to increase performance and scalability • Automatically backs up BLOBs to lower RPOs • Provides powerful monitoring and reporting tools THE EMC ISILON ADVANTAGE • Simplicity and ease of use • Massively scalable from 18TB to 20PB • Unmatched efficiency, with over 80% storage utilization • Highly resilient with robust data protection options • World record NAS performance SIMPLIFY MANAGEMENT To mitigate slow performance due to large amounts of content, some organizations split their SharePoint content databases. However, splitting SharePoint databases can increase management complexity and result in additional license and other related costs. Metalogix StoragePoint eliminates the need to split SharePoint databases to maintain performance by shrinking content databases by 95% or more. And you can configure and monitor StoragePoint easily with the familiar Central Administration interface. Isilon scale-out NAS is based on an easy-to-manage, single file system, single volume architecture approach. As a result, Isilon storage systems are simple to install and easy to use. The EMC Isilon OneFS® operating system also incorporates a number of automated features that further simplify storage management. For example, Isilon AutoBalance™ automatically distributes data uniformly across all of the nodes in an Isilon cluster. When new storage nodes are added to the cluster, data is automatically moved to the new storage nodes while the system is online and in production. This eliminates “hot spots” and reduces costs, complexity, and risks for scaling storage. INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE COSTS Microsoft SharePoint typically stores multiple copies of the same BLOB if it’s referenced in more than one SharePoint library, which consumes storage that could be used for other purposes. Metalogix StoragePoint software recognizes these duplicates and will store only one copy of the BLOB no matter how many times it’s referenced in SharePoint. This single instancing capability significantly improves storage efficiency. In those cases where BLOB data is not externalized, Microsoft's SharePoint SQL Server stores all BLOBs on Tier 1 block storage which can be very expensive. The Metalogix and EMC Isilon solution enables SharePoint to store BLOBs on highly efficient, cost-effective Isilon scale-out. With over 80 percent storage utilization, Isilon offers compelling economies of scale for large and growing SharePoint environments. To further optimize your BLOB storage resources, Isilon SmartPools™ software, allows you to implement an automated storage tiering infrastructure using a policybased approach. PROVEN SOLUTION The SharePoint BLOB storage solution from Metalogix and EMC has been tested and certified for interoperability and performance and is designed to provide enterprises with a highly efficient, easy-to-manage SharePoint environment that meets the performance requirements of their organizations.
