storageedge - optimize sharepoint storage & performance
DESCRIPTION
StorageEdge optimizes SharePoint storage by moving all docs/BLOBs out of the database with EBS/RBS and therefore reducing the database size to manageable levels. And, it lowers your storage cost by archiving SharePoint docs to cheaper storage. And, it significantly improves SharePoint performance by caching its BLOBs and lists.TRANSCRIPT
