Under an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement, AvePoint and IBM have teamed to develop Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for Microsoft SharePoint. Leveraging AvePoint’s “best-in-class” granular backup & restore technology, elegant browser-based interface and flexible Smart Backup Plan Builder, the new TSM for SharePoint delivers robust management tools that function seamlessly with the TSM platform.

SharePoint Solutions Become Mission-Critical to Organizations Worldwide

Adoption of SharePoint has accelerated as companies seek a competitive edge in business-critical organization. This trend is understandable considering the potent tools SharePoint provides which empower users to collaborate more effectively, organize and access corporate knowledge more efficiently, and make better-informed decisions.

SharePoint adoption has increased the demand for business-intelligent tools to protect and manage SharePoint environments. To effectively maintain mission-critical deployments, Administrators require a solution that:

• Offers granular, item-level backup & restore capabilities
• Absolutely maintains data-integrity
• Does not disrupt production-hour workflow by locking SQL indexes
• Is fully integrated into their backup systems
• Enables policy-based management of backup data, scheduling, monitoring, and reporting

Since 2001, AvePoint has taken the lead in providing the comprehensive solutions necessary to administer SharePoint deployments effectively and with ease. The company’s award-winning DocAve software platform provides the world’s most robust SharePoint Backup & Recovery, Migration, Replication, Administration and Compliance tools available, all managed via a single browser-based interface.

IBM Employs AvePoint’s Robust Backup & Restore Technologies

With TSM for SharePoint, AvePoint and IBM have developed a platform to flexibly and confidently protect SharePoint content and infrastructure. Powered by AvePoint’s industry-leading technologies, TSM for Microsoft SharePoint provides the “business-rule aware” tools Administrators demand:

• Item-level, full-fidelity backup and restoration
  TSM for SharePoint leaves nothing behind. It restores portals, top-level sites, subsites, individual document libraries, lists, and items (including Events, Links, Tasks, Contacts, Announcements, Discussion Boards, Surveys, Issues, Custom Lists, Areas, Sub Areas, Portal Links, Layout Templates), all Metadata (including all version histories, permissions/securities, and authorship histories), and all SharePoint workflow definitions.

• Infinite backup planning and scheduling capabilities
  ‘Not All Data is Created Equal’, as the saying goes. Depending on business and compliance needs, certain data require hourly backup, while other data require only weekly or monthly backups. AvePoint’s Smart Backup Plan Builder and exclusive scheduling carousel tool puts control of tiered backup routines at the Administrator’s fingertips, allowing for unlimited plan building with up to six schedules per plan. Full, Incremental, and Differential backup options and multiple inter-and intra-day backup scheduling enables efficient 24×7 production support.

• The power to define data, search data, and target data with ease
  To prevent disruptions in workflow, straightforward and fast targeting and restoration of mission-critical data is a necessity. With a full-text keyword and identification criteria mask search engine, Administrators can locate target data with confidence and ease.

• Fast and nimble restore delivery
  AvePoint’s technology requires no transitory media restoration to restore data to the live environment, saving valuable time and resources and getting users back to work without delay. With granular in-place (to original location) and out-of-place (to other sites, servers, or farms) restoration, time and resources won’t be wasted.

• The flexibility to manage valuable system-resources
  With the option to backup at the item-level and design any combination of Full, Differential, and Incremental backup schedules, business-critical processing and storage resources are efficiently utilized. Powerful data-retention tools like Data Pruning (both manual and automated), Data Coalescing (collapsing incremental and differential backups into one full backup), Security (with 128-bit encryption), and Enterprise-strength Compression (with a 5-to-1 ratio) help manage historic backup data, conserve valuable resources, and improve access speeds.

Providing Seamless Integration with Tivoli Storage Manager Architecture

TSM for Microsoft SharePoint is fully integrated into the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager platform, ensuring SharePoint administration and data-protection are harmonized with the entire network and in accord with global management procedures.

• Leveraging the virtues of the TSM platform hierarchy of storage
  TSM integration lets SharePoint Administrators perform hierarchal storage management, support multiple devices in their IT environment, use policy-based management for stored objects, and easily move data from disk to tape and then off-site.

• Full integration with TSM disaster protection
  Synchronous or asynchronous copies of SharePoint data are created within the TSM architecture for off-site protection and easy migration of data to new storage technologies.

• Truly centralized SharePoint management with a single ‘Pane of Glass’ interface
  AvePoint’s browser-based user interface pilots TSM for Microsoft SharePoint. This elegant interface truly centralizes SharePoint data-management while providing Administrator access from any computer on the network.

• Easy installation equals quick time-to-value
  Pain-free installation is a hallmark of both the AvePoint and IBM brands. TSM for Microsoft SharePoint maintains this tradition with a hassle-free install-process. With just a few mouse clicks for each component, TSM for SharePoint is up and running.
