DocAve Archiver for Microsoft® SharePoint® Archiving

Optimize. Archive Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and 2010 content to tiered storage. Reduce cost. Improve compliance. Boost performance.

DocAve Archiver for Microsoft SharePoint helps reduce SharePoint 2013 and 2010 storage costs and improve compliance with records and information management policies. Quickly growing amounts of fixed or stale SharePoint content contributes to rising storage costs, increasing SharePoint’s total cost of ownership (TCO). DocAve Archiver alleviates this growing storage burden by automatically archiving SharePoint content from expensive Microsoft SQL Server® storage to less-expensive hierarchical storage systems, based upon fully customizable business rules. Archiver also reduces compliance risk by enabling consistent disposition of content in accordance with records management policies for content preservation, remediation, or retention.

All Microsoft, All the Way

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

Business Advantages for Microsoft SharePoint Archiving

  • Archive and Fully Remove Content from SharePoint

    Effortlessly offload stale, end-of-life content from SharePoint 2013 and 2010 to less expensive storage, 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

    Dramatically reduce costs by lessening the number of SQL servers necessary as the volume of data expands. 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 improves 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

    Search for archived contents in order to view and/or restore them back to SharePoint’s SQL Server databases at any time.
