DocAve Archiver

DocAve Archiver

Quickly growing amounts of fixed or stale SharePoint content contributes to rising storage costs, increasing SharePoint’s total cost of ownership (TCO).  In addition to combating rising storage costs, organizations must also find ways to efficiently store records in compliance with retention or records management policies. 

  • DocAve Archiver for SharePoint 2010 helps to reduce SharePoint storage costs by automatically offloading SharePoint content that would ordinarily reside in expensive SQL Server storage to less-expensive hierarchical storage systems, based upon fully customizable business rules.  
  • DocAve Archiver also reduces compliance risk by enabling consistent disposition of content in accordance with records management policies for content preservation, remediation, or retention. 

As with all AvePoint software, DocAve Archiver leverages only fully supported Microsoft methodologies and APIs.

Key Advantages of the Archiver for SharePoint 2010

Archive and Fully Remove Content from SharePoint 2010

Effortlessly offload stale end-of-life content from SharePoint to effectively manage site proliferation and mitigate database growth. 

Easily Comply with Records Management and Retention Policies

Apply customizable retention policies for archived content based on content properties, including content type (e.g. ‘Contract’) or created date (e.g. 7 years ago). Delete content after the retention period has expired to ensure compliance with internal or external regulations.

Optimize SQL Storage Space to Lower TCO

DocAve Archiver dramatically reduces costs by lessening the number of SQL servers necessary as the volume of data expands. You can easily remove fixed or stale SharePoint data from production SQL servers to any local or network drive. Integrate with advanced storage systems and de-duplicate documents to further optimize storage costs. 

Improve SharePoint Performance

The expansion of data tremendously affects back-end SharePoint storage from both a performance and management perspective. DocAve Archiver will improve end-user access and download times by removing fixed or stale content from SQL Server databases to optimize database resources for relevant content.

Maintain Discoverability of Archived "Offline" Content

With DocAve, administrators can still search for archived contents in order to view and/or restore them back to SharePoint’s SQL Server databases at any time.
