Challenges Associated with SharePointThe Challenge The Reason..Fast growing application. Unstructured Data

This growth consists of multiple data types including structured and the fast growing unstructured data. And finally, the increase in the number of users and the pace at which they are creating data is stressing IT infrastructures.

Planning, strategy, design and deployment

• No clear vision and evolving business requirements • Lack of scalability with poor economic scaling SQL server licenses• Uncontrolled growth• SQL not optimized for file level access and SharePoint often stores large files

like media and videos.• ROI/TCO uncertainty

Operational Management • Lost productivity and competitiveness if data is not available due to infrastructure failures

• Inability to get timely insight out of information due to slow query response and application performance

• Data growth impedes data protection and recovery• Negative impact on collaboration and information sharing due to

infrastructure limitations
