Migrating a Multiterabyte Site Collection

The problem

A certain site collection grew too large (8TB, while the Microsoft-recommended limit is 100 GB), and it needs to be migrated to a SharePoint 2010 environment and split into many smaller site collections.

The solution

In this presentation, I show the approach my company (Exostar) took to solve this problem. The main idea is to use a third-party product (we recommend Metalogix) and to write automated scripts to be run in parallel.
