How
StoragePoint features an asynchronous operations capability, so writes to
lower performing tiers of storage (i.e. Cloud) can be performed without
impacting the end-user experience. A SharePoint Administrator simply sets
up a system cache where the content will be temporarily stored until it is
moved to its final destination. Content BLOBs can be off-loaded using the
same folder structure and filename used in SharePoint instead of an arbitrary
date/time folder structure and GUID.
StoragePoint ships with a generic File System Adapter. It can be used with
any direct-attached or network-addressable storage platform that can be
exposed to windows through NTFS, CIFS, or NFS shares. Additionally,
StoragePoint offers fully-certified adapters for EMC® Centera®, EMC®
Atmos™ and Hitachi® HCAP. You can also store (relocate) SharePoint content
onto any number of different Cloud platforms such as Windows® Azure™,
EMC® Atmos™ onLine, Rackspace® CloudFS™, AT&T® Synaptic™ SaaS, Amazon®
S3, and others.
