SharePoint 2010 and RBS Remote BLOB Storage

Well I probably won’t be able to evaluate or use either of these products anytime soon, but I am quite impressed by what I am reading on Remote BLOB Storage products for SharePoint 2010.

MetaLogix’s StoragePoint in particular, and AvePoint’s product.

They allow you to define different levels/tiers of storage. This allows you to allocate the most actively used content to the fastest most expensive storage. While allocating the less frequently used or archived content to the slower less expensive storage.

All seamless to the users, you can now distribute your terabytes of SharePoint BLOB content across SQL, SAN, NAS, or even the Cloud. Planning this right could produce a substantial ROI for either product to show management.
