New Microsoft SharePoint Study Reveals How GSX Leveraged 15 years of Research and Refinement to Cut Costs and Risks

User-Oriented Monitoring Found to Enable Administrators to Optimize Performance and Quickly Resolve Issues


BUFFALO, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 22, 2012) - GSX Solutions [www.gsx.com], the global leader in proactive, consolidated monitoring, reporting and messaging of enterprise collaboration environments, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Lotus Notes, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), today announced the publication of a major white paper detailing how GSX Monitor & Analyzer resolves Microsoft SharePoint administrative risks while slashing costs. The study details how GSX leveraged 15 years of research and refinement into an agentless, out-of-the-box deployment that enables administrators to optimize SharePoint server performance and quickly resolve user issues.

"Several years ago we saw projections for the explosive growth of enterprise collaboration systems, and realized that an entirely new approach was needed to rein in costs and assure a continuous, high-level user experience," said Antoine Leboyer, CEO of GSX. "This new white paper details how we accomplished this, and how it applies to enterprise SharePoint management in practical terms."

Getting a handle on the SharePoint explosion
Many organizations are experiencing an uncontrolled proliferation of SharePoint servers, leading to inefficient use of IT resources and frequent calls to high-level engineers to resolve outages and other issues. They often find that the more mission-critical SharePoint becomes, the more performance degrades and costs escalate.

Control data from a user perspective and cut costs
GSX engineers found that traditional system monitoring tools often see everything green, even as users see everything red. To resolve this paradox, GSX turned their primary focus to monitoring data integrity and user outcomes, in addition to SharePoint servers themselves. This paradigm reversal enables administrators to see service levels from the user's perspective, and quickly drill down to resolve SharePoint issues before they reach the critical stage. Furthermore, GSX Monitor provides agentless deployment on a client workstation (no code is installed on the server), with an integrated view of the entire collaboration environment, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and Lotus Notes.
