You need to know your data is securely protected

You want infinite storage that expands to meet your growing needs



RBS vs Fort Knox

File Read Scenario

request file request file

2013 RBSFort Knox

• RBS does garbage collection & orphan cleanup using SQL Tables & Indexes

• RBS does full blob enumeration to find orphans

• RBS does not allow for fine-grained permission

• RBS uses windows timer jobs (harder to scale/coordinate)

• RBS pools are an un-necessary management layer for SPO

• Fort Knox only has the permissions it requires

• Fort Knox can write and read directly into the blob store

• Fort Knox lowers the impact on SQL IO—leaving it for metadata

• Fort Knox uses storage account pools without intermediate abstraction

• Can handle as many as 4 local failures – better than traditional replication

When should I use Access vs. FoSL?

Will Microsoft provide migration tools for InfoPath?

What about CSR, LightSwitch, Visual Studio, etc.?

We have many InfoPath forms in use, what do we do?

FAQ

Access is best for self contained apps, consisting of multiple related tables and multiple forms

FoSL is best for a single form, on top of a single table (SharePoint List)

We don’t know yet, we are evaluating various options to aid in migration

Third parties may provide tools, or even support running InfoPath forms into the future

We are deliberately targeting information workers who do not code

These are developer technologies, for those who code

First, there is no impact to InfoPath 2013 client or on-prem server—they are fully supported until 2023

Office 365 users will have until at least the next major release of Office, plus some



SharePoint future for Devs - ITPro

SharePoint Online will become an orchestrated cloud service

Challenges?SharePoint vNext will be about moving workloads to the cloud

My point of view…

SharePoint Online is slowly moving away from a portal platform to a standardized general purpose tool

In the future, we don’t manage SharePoint, SQL, Storage, anymore! Think way outside the box -> What happens if the desktop moves to the cloud???

Next generation collaboration solutions will be about integration of Office Online, SharePoint, Yammer, Lync, Dynamics and Azure Services

“Best user experience and integration will occur in Office 365”. Keynote SPC14

Customer-facing web sitesHeavy customized customers – lack of CSOM capabilitiesB2B and B2C portals

“We are not asking for a non-stop flight – but for individual stops in between”

Some key features will never be in SharePoint vNext On-Premises. SharePoint On-Premises customers will left behind

vNext (16)
