AvePoint Releases DocAve 5.2.2

Latest release of DocAve Software Platform delivers security-trimmed and ruled-based content management, enhanced reporting, and full backup, recovery, and delivery support for SharePoint Designer Definitions

Jersey City, N.J. – July 10, 2009 — AvePoint, the leading provider of infrastructure management software solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, today announced the latest release of its flagship product, the DocAve Software Platform, which expands the functionality of several of its modules, including Backup and Recovery, Deployment Manager, Content Manager, and Report Center.  DocAve Backup and Recovery now supports the full fidelity backup and recovery of all SharePoint Designer Definitions, while DocAve Deployment Manager can now propagate them within or across SharePoint environments.  DocAve Content Manager now provides comprehensive security-trimming, empowering administrators to securely delegate content management tasks to other team members.  DocAve Report Center now enables comprehensive monitoring of SharePoint Alerts, download activities, failed login attempts, site load times, and content contributions. 

"With the largest SharePoint-exclusive development team outside of Microsoft, Avepoint is relentlessly trying to improve its SharePoint infrastructure management solutions", said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang.  "Content management, reporting, and SharePoint Designer support are top priorities for organizations attempting to fully leverage SharePoint for success, and these enhancements to DocAve are another testament to our ongoing commitment to supporting these objectives."

Secure and Intelligent Content Management

DocAve’s Content Manager enables the real-time movement and reorganization of SharePoint objects and elements anywhere throughout the environment, within or across farms.  The enhancements in DocAve 5.2.2 empower SharePoint administrators to granularly delegate this capability to Site Collection and/or Site-level administrators, thereby distributing management workload while still maintaining appropriate security. DocAve Content Manager now also leverages the powerful DocAve Business Rule Engine, which allows administrators to automate the movement of content items based on customizable triggers.  For example, an administrator wishing to adhere to Microsoft best practices, which recommend that Lists do not exceed 2000 items, may establish a rule-based routine that automatically transfers all newly introduced List items to a new location after the List reaches a given capacity. 

Full Protection and Streamlined Delivery of SharePoint Designer Definitions 

DocAve Backup and Recovery is the industry’s most comprehensive data protection solution for SharePoint, providing full fidelity, synchronous, item-through-platform level backup and recovery functionality.  DocAve Deployment Manager allows efficient and flexible propagation of server configurations, custom solutions, and design elements between and within SharePoint environments.  DocAve 5.2.2 expands the capabilities of these two tools even further.  Now, with DocAve, SharePoint Designer Definitions are fully protected and can be efficiently propagated throughout the organization’s development, testing, staging, and production environments with ease and precision.

Enhanced Reporting for Optimized Performance and Better Planning

DocAve Report Center provides administrators with critical insight about their platform’s infrastructure, health, and user activities.  DocAve 5.2.2 includes several new real-time monitors and exportable reports:

• SharePoint Alerts Tracking - Understand exactly where SharePoint Alerts are deployed, and thereby prevent Mail Server performance issues

• SharePoint Download Activity Ranking – Rank all SharePoint downloads by user and by object to discern what content is being the most utilized or being under-utilized

• Failed Login Monitoring – Record and report upon all failed login attempts, to quickly identify security risks or SPAM attacks and block responsible IP addresses before the environment is compromised

• Load Time Tracking – Identify SharePoint content that is not being delivered to end-users with the appropriate speed, and make appropriate infrastructure adjustments to address the issue before productivity is hindered

• Content Contribution Analytics – Discover which end-users are contributing the most content to the platform, by object-type and by time period, to identify active users and adopters
