RBS and Blob Cache in
SharePoint 2013
Or make MSSQL breathe easily
RBS VS Blob Cache
RBS
SQL
Remove BLOBs from
Database
Storage cost reduction
SQL improve
performance
Blob
Cache
IIS
Cache content on WFE
Traffic reduction
Renditions
Cache
Types of cache in SharePoint 2013
Page
output cache
Object
cache
Anonymous
BLOB
search results cache
cache
Note:
To use the page output cache or the object cache, you
must be using the Publishing feature on your site.
Blob Cache
Improve
SQL performance by saving data on WFE
Persistent
Cache
Improves
HTTP Responses
HTTP
range request
Reduce
time to open page
Enabling
Renditions
Blob Cache saving data on WFE
Save
Data on WFE’s local drive
Works
perfectly with anonymous access
BUT!
Increasing SQL requests in 5 times in order to create cache
Need to enable on all WFE’s
Add additional 800bytes of memory for each file to keep index
Persistent Cache
Don’t
expire after IIS reset
But!
If you change data in pages library during Update Solution/Update
Features you need to Flush BLOB Cache
HTTP range request
Add
Information for browser to cache items
Allows HTTP request for part of a file
Some content viewer, like PDF viewer or media players can request
only part of data
Reduce time to open page
SharePoint optimized for small size files
Low size files FileReadChunkSize (100kb) with one request
LargeFileChunkSize < 5mb – from SQL without disk buffer
> LargeFileChunkSize - from SQL with WFE buffer
Renditions
Image
rendition is a new capability in SharePoint 2013
helps you to optimize images in your SharePoint site
through having the same image but in different sizes.
Image
Rendition gives you control over the size of your
images and allows you to further crop images to get the
results you need. Images can be fixed to certain sizes for
WebPart use or for use on SharePoint page.
Renditions
Prerequisites
for managing image renditions
A publishing site collection .Or, publishing features must be enabled
on the site collection where you want to use image renditions.
A configured BLOB cache
An asset library (recommended)

BLOB Cache How to

BLOB Cache troubleshooting
IIS
Reset – to reinitialize index
Flush
BLOB Cache
Disable
BLOB cache, delete cache folder, enable cache.
RBS
SQL
Server Remote BLOB Store (RBS) is an optional add-on
component that lets database administrators store binary
large objects in commodity storage solutions instead of
directly on the main database server.
In
SharePoint 2013 BLOB is a large block of data stored in a
database that is known by its size and location instead of
by its structure.
RBS
SharePoint
MSSQL
RBS
stores all data in MSSQL
not very suitable for storing large objects
helps to reduce size of content DB
SharePoint
can use FILESTREAM or any other RBS Provider
RBS
Multi-layer
BLOB
data storage
archiving
Adding
not SharePoint libraries to BLOB Storage
Caching
of BLOB-object in memory
RBS Multi-layer data storage
Use
Fast and expensive storage for actual documents,
slow and cheap storage for large, old objects
Filtering
for storage data
BLOB archiving
Some
RBS Providers can archiving specific data even after
deleting in SharePoint
Archives
them
works offline and SharePoint doesn’t know about
Auto-deleting
archives after specific time
Adding not only SharePoint libraries to BLOB
Storage
RBS
can provide access for SharePoint to third party
libraries as it his own
SharePoint
create index for this libraries, and end user
don’t even know that he use something else.
Caching of BLOB-object in memory
Almost
the same as IIS BLOB cache
FILESTREM RBS
BLOB
store must be local to SQL Server for Standard license
Basic
Orphaned BLOB Garbage Collection
Search
for BLOB objects
Sadly, but they are all features provided by FILESTREAM
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Enable
FILESTREM on MS SQL Server
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Configure
MSSQL Server
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Create
Content Databse
Create
Database master Key
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Create
File Group for RBS Provider
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Create
File Stream File for designed path
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Install
the RBS package
Ensure
that RBS Package installed successfully
Install FILESTREAM RBS
Activate
RBS for your Content Databases with PowerShell
RBS and Shredded Storage
You
will need perform an IISRESET and restart the SP Timer
Service on all machines in the farm.

FILESTREAM RBS provider and Backups
MS
SQL backups doesn’t save content of RBS
SharePoint
provider
Also
backup whole content using FILESTREAM
Third Party Backup System provide saving content
(AveDoc, Symantec, etc.)
FILESTREAM RBS provider limitations
RBS
has specific content database size limitations for
specific scenarios. (200GB)
Encryption
is not supported on BLOBs, even if Transparent
Data Encryption is enabled.
RBS
does not support using data compression.
Support
New
for database mirroring and log shipping is altered
Version of file create additional file in RBS
Final Notes, BLOB Cache

JavaScript, CSS

Multimedia, video
