Metalogix Releases StoragePoint 3.0, revolutionary software For Microsoft SharePoint Storage Management
StoragePoint 3.0 dramatically decreases SharePoint storage costs
WALTHAM, Mass., June 15, 2010 – Metalogix Software, the leading provider of solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint® content storage management, archiving and migration tools today announced the release of StoragePoint 3.0. StoragePoint 3.0’s revolutionary SharePoint-based software actively manages the entire storage lifecycle of content while dramatically decreasing storage costs.
StoragePoint enables organizations to seamlessly move content to lower-cost tiers (i.e. levels) of storage as it ages, becomes less relevant or inactive based on simple-to-configure rules. Customers can utilize multiple tiers consisting of virtually any mix of NAS, SAN and or Cloud storage platforms, leveraging the most appropriate storage based on their particular performance, compliance or budgetary requirements. Completely installed and configured within SharePoint Central Administration, StoragePoint also optimizes SharePoint manageability, scalability, and security without sacrificing functionality, performance or the end-user experience.
“The core, or guiding, principal of 3.0 was to dramatically improve SharePoint Storage Economics,” said Rob D’Oria, Metalogix Development CTO. “We see customers hesitating to migrate content from expensive, yet underutilized, legacy ECM platforms into SharePoint because they are concerned about the cost of storing that content in often-expensive, primary tier-1 storage. StoragePoint 3.0 removes that barrier and gives SharePoint Admins, SQL DBAs, and Storage Architects unmatched flexibility and control over when, where, why, and how SharePoint content is stored and managed throughout its lifecycle.”
D’Oria continues, “Combining StoragePoint 3.0 with our industry-leading suite of migration tools provides a customer with what they need to consolidate a wide array of content sources into SharePoint, where it will be managed efficiently and cost-effectively throughout its lifecycle. It sounds good in theory but works even better in reality.”
Christine Taylor, an Analyst from the Taneja Group (www.tanejagroup.com) comments; “StoragePoint makes the storage ROI of SharePoint extremely compelling. It sets an entirely new standard for SharePoint storage management, enabling clients to cost-effectively manage large volumes of content by leveraging a variety of storage platforms.”
Winner of Microsoft’s® SharePoint® 2010 Innovation Award, StoragePoint software is 100% .NET and leverages only published Microsoft APIs (Application Program Interfaces). StoragePoint 3.0 is available now and clients may request a trial version at: www.storagepoint.com
