MOSS Storage Planning - Best Practices

Hi Folks

For those of you SharePoint architects struggling to find some info on planning a storage platform for MOSS, Microsoft have recently released the following white paper:

Planning and Monitoring SQL Server Storage for Office SharePoint Server: Performance Recommendations and Best Practices. You can download it here.

Apparently, the SharePoint folks are working on releasing more IOPS related guidelines, but have not done so yet. When they do publish more information, they will likely update the document linked above.

Hope its useful

You can browse through all your sites quite quickly, access site settings, and create lists and libraries via the tool.

goto http://www.quest.com/sharepoint/ you will need to register, but the tool is free.
