DocAve Media Connector
The Media Connector enables organizations to manage and present their audio and video files through a dedicated SharePoint Media Library. All wmv, wma, mp3, aac, vp6, mp4, mpeg, mpg, avi, and wav files stored in network file shares and cloud storage resources are streamed and presented via SharePoint for fast delivery and reduced burden of storage. "Connected" content is managed with all of SharePoint's powerful document management functionality, including permissions management, workflows, alerts, and versioning.
- Unify the delivery, presentation, and management of petabytes of media files within legacy data stores through SharePoint
- Avoid potentially time consuming and costly migration projects
- Achieve complete SharePoint integration with full index and SharePoint search support
- Automatically provision SharePoint Media Libraries with fully customizable SDK
Because DocAve Media Connector is part of the DocAve Software Platform, the industry's only truly integrated platform for SharePoint, Administrators can still protect and manage connected SharePoint contents through the DocAve interface.
As with all AvePoint software, DocAve Media Connector leverages only fully supported Microsoft EBS and RBS methodologies and API's.
