You plan to deploy a SharePoint Server 2013 server farm.
Your company frequently creates large video files that can be up to 40 GB in size.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that users can locate the video files from within SharePoint sites.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A. File shares and content sources
B. File shares and shredded storage
C. Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) and a BLOB cache
D. Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) and content sources
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
* RBS is a SQL Server library API set that is incorporated as an add-on feature pack for SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. The RBS feature enables applications, such as SharePoint 2013, to store BLOBs in a location outside the content databases. Storing the BLOBs externally can reduce how much SQL Server database storage space is required. The metadata for each BLOB is stored in the SQL Server database and the BLOB is stored in the RBS store.
* The BLOB cache also provides features that support serving media files to users. One such feature is support for byte-range requests, which lets users select a later point in the video and immediately begin playback. Another feature is progressive caching, which starts serving the beginning of a large video file while the rest of the file is being cached. Video files are divided and retrieved in smaller sections to reduce the load between the front-end and back-end servers.
