Rules

SQL Server (Content Database)

1. Content archival policies are defined.

2. Schedules are set for the archival process to start.

3. Archiver extracts the BLOB and sends it to SMB share

4. Only the item metadata (stub) remains in the content DB.

Secure Multi-Tenancy for SharePoint

14

Multi-tenancy with security for

private and public clouds –

departments or external customers

MultiStore technology designed so

information on a secured virtual

partition cannot be viewed, used, or

downloaded by unauthorized users

Distribute responsibility for

SharePoint with delegated

management at the SharePoint

Farm level

Tenants access their environment

independent of the underlying

storage layout
