How To Implement Remote Blob Storage in SharePoint 2013 (SharePoint 2013 Solution Series Book 4)

This guide outlines steps and configurations to implement Remote Blob Storage (RBS) in SharePoint 2013 using SQL Server 2012.
One of the advantages with the latest SharePoint versions and SQL Server versions is the ability to implement RBS using the FileStream Provider. This allows for documents and files that are larger than a specified amount of bytes (default 100KB) to be stored on a connected file system of the SQL Server box instead of inside the database itself. The overall advantage is keeping your content databases smaller and more manageable.
