---

DocAve Replicator provides full-fidelity replication and conflict-free synchronization of SharePoint content, configurations, layouts and securities both within and across farms.

JERSEY CITY, NJ, April 21, 2008 — AvePoint, the leading provider of SharePoint infrastructure management software solutions, has released DocAve Replicator, a fully-integrated software module providing both bi-directional and “one-to-many” synchronization of content, layouts, configurations, and securities within or across any number of SharePoint instances.With organizations seeking to gain competitive advantage in a global marketplace, reliable access to current data assets across geographically-distributed workplaces has become vital. DocAve Replicator delivers by providing the industry's most comprehensive synchronization solution, with customizable conflict-resolution tools, robust bandwidth and network traffic controls, and variable off-line replication capabilities. Replicator is the latest offering within the DocAve software platform, a fully-distributed "mix-and-match" modular solution-set for backup and recovery, migration, administration, archiving and compliance for all Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies.

"We are very proud to offer the industry's most cost effective and reliable replication solution for SharePoint," said Dr. Tianyi Jiang, COO of AvePoint. "In today's market, companies doing business in all corners of the globe need to work with synchronicity in order to stay competitive. DocAve Replicator empowers them to do so with a utility that is agile and powerful. This new module represents the latest chapter in AvePoint's ongoing commitment to provide the most robust SharePoint infrastructure management solutions in the world."

DocAve Replicator is the market's most cost effective and nimble replication tool for SharePoint Server 2007 and WSS v3, providing Administrators a comprehensive set of enterprise-class features:

• Perform Full-Fidelity Replication of Content, Configurations, Layout and Security Settings Across Locations
  Via DocAve's easy-to-use, browser-based interface, Administrators can granularly select source content, configurations, layouts and securities - from an entire site down to a single item. Single or multiple destinations can be targeted, and distinct synchronization schedules for each destination can be created with ease. With flexible overwrite, merge and skip options, fully customizable replication of all SharePoint objects and associations are executed with precision.
  
  
• Synchronize Offices with Two-Way Replication and Conflict-Resolution
  DocAve Replicator provides for both one-way and two-way (bi-directional) synchronization and is piloted by a comprehensive set of fully customizable conflict-resolution tools. Administrator-prescribed resolution rules based on Location, Modified Time, and Version Number with options such as Skip, Overwrite, and Merge can be set for all two-way replication schemes, while additional deletion-resolution utilities ensure data is safe. With DocAve Replicator, offices are synchronized with intelligence and security.
  
  
• Control Bandwidth Use and Network Traffic
  Deft management of bandwidth and network traffic is vital to successful replication. DocAve Replicator ensures maximum network optimization with both full-content and byte-level differencing synchronization modes, delivering zero-redundancy, delta-only replications when bandwidth is in short supply. DocAve's powerful and flexible scheduling carousal lets Administrators control when synchronizations occur, while enterprise-strength data compression and adjustable throttle controls allow for confident replication planning, even over slow connections.
  
  
• Execute "One-to-Many" Replication with Ease
  DocAve Replicator enables both one-to-one and one-to-many replication, providing Administrators the flexibility to synchronize unlimited numbers of farms with ease. With one-to-many replication, content, configurations, layouts, and securities of any number of disparate orphan farms are synchronized with a parent farm according to Administrator-prescribed, global deletion-resolution and conflict-resolution governance. With one-to-many replication, end-users can work with confidence, knowing they are accessing the latest and most up-to-date data regardless of geographical location.
  
  
• Perform Off-Line Replications Between Locations
  Sometimes off-line replication is a necessity, and DocAve Replicator delivers by letting Administrators store replication data on any local or network drive, allowing for the physical movement of data from one location to another when a network connection does not exist.
  As adoption of SharePoint accelerates, secure and "business-rule aware" synchronization is becoming increasingly important. Organizations seeking every competitive advantage in the global marketplace are recognizing the value of providing their geographically-distributed knowledge-workers access to the most current data assets. DocAve Replicator meets this growing demand with a robust, reliable, and intelligent replication toolset that encourages and improves effective team collaboration regardless of physical distribution and proximity.
