San Francisco, CA—Monday, December 22nd, 2008—Realtime Publishers, the leader in expert-driven online media for IT professionals, and LeftHand Networks (now a division of HP) announced the immediate release of The Shortcut Guide to Storage Considerations for Microsoft SharePoint. This excellent new eBook will help IT engineers and administrators choose flexible storage for SharePoint that will stand the test of time. It examines SharePoint’s distinct storage require-ments and recommends strategies for determining optimal yet affordable disk solutions that will support your SharePoint investment both now and into the future. Readers will learn about the pitfalls of inadequate storage management, I/O performance enhancements for SharePoint components, and high-availability options combined with data archiving to best manage data bloat. Lastly, the eBook includes an in-depth discussion of best practices for deploying SharePoint onto iSCSI that will enable any enterprise, large or small, to prepare to ramp up their disk architecture.
“Today’s businesses recognize the value and importance of open communication like never before, and IT administrators struggle to provide the service levels that best contribute to such ends. Microsoft SharePoint is heralded as an affordable collaboration platform that can be scaled and customized to support almost any need. Unfortunately, insufficient understanding of important storage concepts renders many SharePoint installations over-budget and ineffectual, often in less than a year,” explains author Wendy Henry. “The Shortcut Guide to Storage Considerations for Microsoft SharePoint examines the critical storage requirements of SharePoint and explains how to appropriately choose the correct storage solution to gain the most return on investment from this powerful collaboration platform.”
The Shortcut Guide to Storage Considerations for Microsoft SharePoint offers the following chapters:
