Archive360, the world's leading provider of data migration and management solutions for the Microsoft cloud,
today announced its latest generation of FastCollect for SharePoint,
including new features to analyze and report on SharePoint file
consumption and to extend SharePoint Online to more affordable Azure
cloud storage tiers. The new solutions will be showcased during
Microsoft Ignite, Orlando, Fla., September 25-29 in Archive360's booth
#1045.
"Today's
IT organizations are rapidly running out of SharePoint Online storage
space, driving cost and management complexity," said Tibi Popp, Co-Founder
and CTO, Archive360. "With our latest release of FastCollect for
SharePoint, SharePoint Online users can get a complete characterization
of their current SharePoint Online resources so that they can make
informed decisions about storage requirements and allocations. Should
extension to more affordable Azure cloud storage tiers be desired,
FastCollect for SharePoint automatically enables policy-based file
movement to lower cost storage tiers."
"Storage consumption on SharePoint Online is an increasing challenge," said said George Crump, Chief Analyst and Founder, Storage Switzerland. "Until
now, there hasn't been an easy way to take a complete inventory of
SharePoint usage, forcing many organizations to purchase expensive
additional SharePoint storage or limit additional content stored in
SharePoint. With FastCollect for SharePoint, the analysis and extension
of SharePoint Online data stores can be automated with policy
based-precision, saving significant cost and resources."
New
Archive360 solutions designed to improve the cost and efficiency of
migrating to, storing and managing data in the Microsoft cloud include:
- FastCollect for SharePoint - SharePoint Analysis
- Using FastCollect for SharePoint Analysis, users can identify their
SharePoint sites, collections, libraries and all of the documents
associated with those libraries including folder structures and provide a
report on overall file consumption. This includes the number of files,
size of files, age of files based on create date, file type and last
accessed date.
- FastCollect for SharePoint - SharePoint Extension
- FastCollect for SharePoint Extension enables the creation of
automatic, policy-based movement of files from SharePoint Online to more
affordable Azure cloud storage tiers (hot, cool and archival) based on
characteristics chosen by IT including file age, data last accessed,
author, file type, file size, and more. This can result in a potential
storage savings of up to 90%.
"For our customers using SharePoint Online, FastCollect for SharePoint provides the insight and automation they need to improve efficiency and reduce costs," said Bill Tolson, Vice President of Marketing for Archive360. "This means that we can deliver a more in-depth level of support for the SharePoint Online solutions we deliver, while lowering costs and enhancing our customer loyalty."
