As part of a recently forged technology alliance between the two companies, this comprehensive solution for SharePoint lifecycle management allows for unified storage management of global SharePoint content as well as automated SharePoint migration, customisable storage policies, and business-intelligent backup plans for critical SharePoint assets. AvePoint worked closely with Dell to integrate its flagship SharePoint lifecycle management solution - DocAve Software Platform - with the DX Object Storage Platform. DocAve enables customers using the DX Object Storage Platform to take full advantage of SharePoint's features in order to satisfy their specific business needs. Consolidation and archival of SharePoint content on the DX Object Storage Platform decreases SQL storage and eliminates SharePoint management burdens, while enhanced data protection functionality drastically improves backup and restore capabilities.
