WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - October 27, 2010) - Metalogix Software®, one of the leading platform providers of simple-to-use, cost-effective Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Microsoft Exchange 2010, and Cloud-based management solutions, today announced the general availability of StoragePoint® File Share Librarian. Librarian enables companies to quickly and painlessly move the control of file share content to SharePoint 2010 where security, document management and retention policies are enforced and cost-effective tiered storage solutions can be utilized.
StoragePoint's out-of-the-box content BLOB (Binary Large Object) off-loading capabilities keep content out of Microsoft SQL Server database(s) by placing it onto virtually any storage "Endpoint" such as a SAN, NAS and/or Cloud platform. With Librarian, file shares are utilized like any other storage Endpoint. The file share content (i.e. PDFs, Word Docs, TIFs, etc.) remains physically in place while only the metadata, folder hierarchy structures and other supporting information is cataloged, replicated and placed under the full control of SharePoint 2010. Users can search, manage and access file share content just like any other document within SharePoint 2010 enabling 100 percent transparency.
"Many organizations are looking for security in managing their content assets," said Brian Zeve, Director of Professional Services Industry Solutions, Microsoft. "Metalogix's StoragePoint® Librarian's file share functionality helps businesses more quickly and easily migrate their data to a SharePoint 2010 environment -- enabling them to take further advantage of the integrated capabilities for collaboration and content management on a durable and secure platform that SharePoint 2010 provides."
"StoragePoint's File Share Librarian is what many SharePoint 2010 customers have been waiting for since the introduction of SharePoint BLOB externalization," said Eyal Sharon, Global Practice Manager (IIS Solutions) for EMC Corporation. "It is a great shortcut for migrating content sitting on file shares to SharePoint 2010. I'm sure our customers will find this capability another reason for SharePoint 2010 adoption and our solutions."
"Librarian adds to our growing portfolio of SharePoint solutions that make it easy to get content into SharePoint from a variety of sources," said Steven Murphy, CEO of Metalogix. "File Share Librarian helps to make the process of moving large file shares to SharePoint 2010 simple, cost-effective and fast, automatically cataloging and importing millions of documents a day into SharePoint 2010."
