Where to Stored SharePoint Profile images
Hi, we want to store all our user profile images centrally, we have 4000+ plus images. Would it better to store these in sharepoint itself or on a web server ? Any advise would be great. Many thanks Dave Roberts

It depends on how you use the images etc. Every situation is different. Storing them in SharePoint requires additional SQL storage and retrieving them from SharePoint is slower than if they were directly on the web server however... Storing them on the web server means that you have additional backup and disaster recovery configuration that needs to be done in order to backup the images as well as SharePoint. In addition, linking to the images aren't as simple as in SharePoint because you have to expose the images via an IIS web which you may also have to create in addition. I trust that answers your question... Thanks C http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog
