IT & Architecture Considerations • Storing Media Assets in SharePoint • When shouldn’t I store my media in SharePoint? • Should I use Remote Blob Storage? • Infrastructure for serving media • SharePoint as a Rich Media Server • Optimizing your network • Bit Rate Throttling, Branch Caching
When shouldn’t I store media in SharePoint? • If you need: • Live event streaming (“multi-casting”) • Preventing downloads via Digital Rights Management (DRM) • Very large individual files (>2GB) • Then you should: • Store those media sources elsewhere • Use SharePoint 2010 as a presentation layer
Should I Use Remote Blob Storage (RBS)? • What is RBS? • Interface for SharePoint & SQL 2008 R2 to store files outside the Content DB. • Should I use RBS for rich media? • It depends on your storage provider… • Pro: Capital & operational savings from “cheaper” storage. • Con: Coordinated management required.
SharePoint As a Rich Media Server • Smarter file transfer between Database and Front-End Servers • Improved BLOB cache on Web-Front-End Servers to reduce database traffic First User Video Playing Second User Requests same file from SharePoint Video Playing SharePointDatabase Server SharePointWeb Front-End (BLOB cache storage area)
Optimizing Your Network How do I minimize bandwidth usage of video traffic? • Bit-Rate Throttling I have multi-region deployments. Can I serve rich media from local sources? • Branch Cache SharePoint Farm Branch Office First User Slow NetworkConnection Second User SharePointDatabase Server SharePointWeb Front-End (BLOB cache storage area) Branch Cache Server
