copied!<p>This isn't a perfect (or probably even a "good") fit for what you're trying to do, but I mention it primarily for awareness and to possibly give you some additional ideas (and warnings).</p> <p>SharePoint's storage architecture leverages two different back-end stores: one for metadata (always SharePoint's SQL databases), and another for BLOB storage (also SQL by default). In its current form, though, SharePoint allows you to "wire-in" your own BLOB storage provider via a type that implements the ISPExternalBinaryProvider interface. Wiring in a type that implements this interface allows you to continue storing metadata in SQL while storing documents and other BLOB item types in a different store of your choice.</p> <p>This probably sounds somewhat promising, but there are a couple of serious considerations:</p> <ol> <li><p>Wiring-in your own ISPExternalBinaryProvider has a farm-wide impact. It's all or nothing, so once the provider is wired in, all sites and libaries will use the new provider.</p></li> <li><p>You'll need to dive into unmanaged code, as the ISPExternalBinaryProvider is doing to require you to work with some IDL.</p></li> </ol> <p>You can read more here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802976.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802976.aspx</a></p> <p>My take is that the external BLOB storage (EBS) system is something of a "prototype" at this point -- not ready for prime-time. If nothing else, though, it gives you something to think about. SharePoint Server 2010 will hopefully do more with it and make it more attractive and easy to implement.</p> <p>For what it's worth!</p>
