Peeps,
I'm seeking some advice regarding the best option for setting up SQL Server 2012.
A project has started to replace our in-house document management system. The scenario is that users create a document wallet that they add various documents to. Certain documents could be worked on via the front end of the system, in doing so a new version of the document is created.
Various meta data is stored regarding the documents and the wallet itself which is searchable. A wallet has an active lifespan of approx 5 years where documents could be added or worked on. During the 5 year process, wallets could be marked as terminated or complete and become read only.
The current system has approx 1TB of documents stored within the mysql db. All documents are stored as single page Tiffs.
We are trying to evaluate the best option for using SQL Server the current thinking is to use a file table to store the documents however I'm leaning more towards RBS.
Can anyone offer me some real-life pro's and cons of the two that may sway our design?
Cheers
Scott
