The history of SharePoint is quite fascinating when you consider its roots as a departmental collaboration and document management tool. In many organizations, SharePoint has grown up from literally an application running on a server under someone’s desk to an enterprise-wide, mission-critical system. Even today, I am quite surprised at how often SharePoint growth is underestimated.

After much fanfare, SPC11 has come and gone leaving us with lots of great information to digest. For me, one of the more compelling parts of the show was the keynote address where Richard Riley, Director on the SharePoint team, demonstrated a high availability scenario with SharePoint 2010 and the CTP of SQL Denali. The demonstration included a 40-second fail-over of a 14TB database while simulating over 7,500 concurrent user connections. It was certainly an impressive display of raw computing power with EMC VNX storage being at the center of it all.
On September 6th Metalogix released StoragePoint 3.2 along with some powerful new features that focus on performance, file share management, and tiered storage capabilities. Here is a quick rundown of what you can expect to find in StoragePoint 3.2.
Master/worker Timer Job Configuration

Since the release of SharePoint 2010 there has been a lot of debate over the value and application of Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) with SharePoint 2010. That debate has been reinvigorated with the updated Plan for Software Boundaries guidance that was published with Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010.

It seems that some “experts” influence far outweighs their competence on the subject of RBS.
The StoragePoint team announced the released version 3.1 on 10/26/2010. This is the latest release in the award winning StoragePoint product line and contains the new File Share Librarian Module (along with a list of performance updates and hot fixes).
The SharePoint 2010 October Cumulative Update introduces issues with a change to the user profile database that is apparently incomplete. Microsoft is suggesting that you should not install this update or roll it back if you have already installed it. Here are the details.

Description of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 hotfix package
There has been a lot of misconcenption around remote blob storage (RBS) capabilities with SharePoint 2010. For some time many thought that RBS would be a optional feature included in the core release of SharePoint 2010/SharePoint Foundation 2010. We know now that this is simply not the case.
Yesterday we announced a new webinar series where we will review and demonstrate the features of StoragePoint 3.0. StoragePoint 3.0 is a highly anticipated release that provides significant advancement over our already robuts BLOB remoting capabilities for SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
Organizations are often tasked with storing content in a compliant way. Whether you are dealing with SEC, HIPAA, SOX, or DOD compliance scenarios, SharePoint’s native storage architecture fails to meet the level compliance that organizations require. Enter StoragePoint.
