AvePoint Announces Full Support for Cloud-Based SharePoint Storage

Latest release of the company's flagship DocAve Software Platform enables the management of cloud-based file share content via SharePoint, and the delivery and recovery of SharePoint backup and archive content to cloud-based storage

Jersey City, N.J. (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 -- AvePoint, the leading provider of infrastructure management software solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, today announced that the latest release of its flagship product - the DocAve Software Platform v5.3 - supports both the full-featured management of cloud-based file shares via SharePoint, and the seamless delivery/recovery of SharePoint backup and archive data to cloud-based storage repositories. This announcement comes as an increasing number of organizations are leveraging cloud storage resources, and serves as a testament to AvePoint's ongoing commitment to provide the most robust and flexible infrastructure management solutions for Microsoft SharePoint.

"Companies of all sizes are taking advantage of cloud resources because of the efficiencies and advantages they can deliver," commented Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, AvePoint's COO. "For organizations that use SharePoint, it is critical that they can fully integrate these cloud-based resources into their use of SharePoint, so an important goal for AvePoint has been to ensure that our products fully support cloud integration. With the latest release of DocAve, companies can not only backup and archive directly to the cloud, they can also 'attach' their cloud-based file shares to their SharePoint environment, and leverage all of SharePoint's powerful presentation, management, and collaboration functionality to handle this file share content. It's a capability the SharePoint community has never had before, and we believe it will empower organizations to more fully utilize the platform."

Companies of all sizes are taking advantage of cloud resources because of the efficiencies and advantages they can deliver

Migration-Free SharePoint Presentation and Management of Cloud File Shares
   
DocAve Connector - For organizations desiring to keep digital assets on network or cloud file shares, but take advantage of SharePoint's presentation, management, and collaboration capabilities (including document versioning, alerts, workflows, metadata customization, and permissioning). With DocAve Connector, end-users can interact with and collaborate upon cloud-based file share content in exactly the same manner they would with content residing directly within SharePoint's content database.

Seamless Backup and Recovery from Cloud Storage
   
DocAve Backup and Recovery - The industry's most robust, item-through-platform level backup and restore solution for SharePoint, now enables administrators to deliver backups directly to, and restore granularly from, their cloud storage resources. All of the DocAve Backup and Recovery module's rich functionality, including total metadata preservation, multi-plan backup scheduling/execution, and out-of-place restore capability, now fully support the cloud-storage delivery and restoration model.

Streamlined Delivery of Archive and BLOB Content to Cloud Storage
   
DocAve Archiver - The industry's most powerful archiving solution for SharePoint, allows for the intelligent, business-rule aware offloading of SharePoint content from the SQL database. With the release of DocAve v5.3, DocAve Archiver now enables organizations to deliver archived content directly to cloud storage, and granularly restore content from cloud storage back into SharePoint SQL database. Whether archived content is stored on network or cloud storage, end-users have unfettered access to archived content via the SharePoint interface, and fully-customizable rules empower the administrator to determine exactly how and when archived content can be restored to SharePoint's content database.

   Docave Extender - Allows organizations to instantly offload BLOB (Binary Large Object) content to any file-based storage resource, including cloud resources. DocAve Extender helps organizations optimize SQL database performance and resources by analyzing all content being uploaded to SharePoint by file-size, and instantly routing it to the network or cloud storage. Though it never resides within SQL, this content is fully accessible and manageable via SharePoint, where end-users can search for, access, and collaborate upon it just as if it was residing in SharePoint's content database.
