• #23: Large collections of Records require careful planning on numbers and locations of content databases, site collections, sites and document libraries in relation to the file plan
• #25: SharePoint now supports multiple index servers Content index can now be divided into multiple index partitions.  Each index server can be configured to run multiple crawlers. Multiple crawlers can crawl content in parallel Index servers are now stateless. The crawlers build the content index and propagate directly to the query servers. multiple query servers benefits of redundancy and parallel performance can be made available crawl management and property store data tables have been split into separate databases and multiple tables of this kind can be configured. Remote Blob Storage: As of SP2007 SP1, it was possible to take advantage of an External BLOB Storage (EBS) API to get the BLOBs out of SQL Server. The method was not transactionally consistent and it results in a high number of orphaned BLOBs in the BLOB store because new BLOBs are stored (not replaced) when a document is updated. New Remote Blob Storage features of SharePoint 2010 provide: 1. Transactional consistency: this ensures that when we get a BLOB ID back from the RBS provider, we are guaranteed storage. It also allows for traditional update capabilities. 2. Transactional consistency also allows Write Once Read Many (WORM) mode devices to "VETO" a delete or modify operation. If external vendors such as EMC choose to write an RBS provider for their devices, then the actual storage subsystem itself can prevent SharePoint from allowing a document to be deleted. 3. While orphan cleanup is much less of a concern with RBS it still needs to be managed. The good news is that because RBS is managed through SQL tables, RBS can take advantage of indexes to actually "query" the difference between what is in the BLOB store and what is in SharePoint content databases. 4. RBS is completely transparent to the SharePoint API. Nothing changes. So existing custom and 3rd Party code will continue to function as expected. With binary data out of the content database, only metadata may be present causing a great reduction to the database size and improving scalability and performance.

• #44: disk-based cache that stores files , load quickly in the browser, and reduces the load on the database server when it uses those files. These files are known as binary large objects blobs querying for items is linked with the user account that makes the query. Various parts of the publishing feature make queries for which the results are cached in the object cache http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261797(v=office.15).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219572.aspx caching
