Well, if it says that the images have to be stored in the database, then I guess you have no option.

However, most systems I've encountered store files in the filesystem, often in a single directory, with the ID or GUID of the database row corresponding to the filename.

However, I'm uncertain what advantages this might have (perhaps faster file access?), and any advantages this approach has in other databases may not be relevant with MS SQL Server.
