Azure Flavor for the Sharepoint Media Component
Some time ago I wrote about a Media Processing Component for Sharepoint that I was working on. It is a Media Assets list for Sharepoint that lets you choose where to store the blob files. It provides also intelligence for encoding videos, generating thumbnail and poster images, obtaining media metadata, etc. On that first post the component was explained in detail, with the original 3 storage flavors: Sharepoint list, Virtual Directoy or FTP. The storage manager is extensible, so a new flavor was added later that enabled to store the media files on the cloud, in particular to AmazonS3. Today I’m going to talk about a new cloud flavor based on Azure Blob Storage.

Media from Sharepoint to the Cloud
On my last post I talked about a media processing component developed for Sharepoint 2010. Besides the processing features (video encoding, thumbnail generation, validations, etc…) there was an asset storage manager that enabled us to store the files on a configurable place, inside or outside Sharepoint. I said we initially started with three storage flavors: a Sharepoint library, an FTP server or a shared folder/virtual directory.
