New Delhi : SourceOne for SharePoint offers operational control, compliance and e-discovery capabilities without affecting SharePoint end-users. This enables IT departments to minimize costs ameliorate system scalability and performance and assure compliance.
SourceOne is the newest addition to EMC Source One, a family of modular, integrated products. With SourceOne for SharePoint, EMC is driving home a building block approach to help customers address their operational challenges which includes reduction of the costs of managing content in both active and inactive SharePoint sites.
The EMC SourceOne portfolio of information governance solutions helps customers simplify e-discovery across multiple content types including those contained in SharePoint. EMC SourceOne eDiscovery - Kazeon allows early case assessment and automates the identification, collection, preservation, processing, analysis and review of content located in a variety of managed and unmanaged sites including SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, desktops, laptops, common Internet file systems (CIFS) and network file systems (NFS), networked attached storage and other content management repositories.
Jeff Bettencourt, Vice President and General Manager of Information Governance, Information Intelligence Group, a division of EMC said, "EMC is committed to enabling our customers execute on their information governance strategies. With the new SourceOne for SharePoint, we are providing them with a building block approach to address operational and compliance challenges related to SharePoint content without any impact to the end-user experience and value they already enjoy."
SourceOne will raise the Sharepoint performance and scalability and reduce costs while allowing the customers to automatise the removal of SharePoint content from Microsoft SQL Server and archive it to EMC SourceOne.IT also benefits from cost savings associated with tiered storage management and reduced SQL Server backup windows and restore times. For improving compliance SharePoint content t is stored in the EMC SourceOne archive which can be controlled for long-term retention and disposition to comply with internal policies and external regulations. It gives a complete end-user transparency,
which enables users to continue working within the SharePoint environment and maintain complete content accessibility. SourceOne for SharePoint Server leverages Microsoft's external binary large object (BLOB) storage application programming interface to preserve native Microsoft Office integrations, existing workflows and explicit document links.
The U.S. SharePoint market is expected to grow to $5.05 billion by 2012. Almost half of medium, large and very large companies reported that they have SharePoint 2007. One-third of organizations with SharePoint provide access to over 90 percent of their employees.24.7 percent of SharePoint sites were currently inactive or not in regular use. When asked if SharePoint was capable of addressing their company's compliance, privacy and security needs, only 28 percent of total respondents answered affirmatively, and another 31 percent stated that these needs could be met with certain add-ons. EMC Celerra unified storage provides a platform approach that combine's primary storage with archive capabilities and file level deduplication and compression. The RSA Solution for SharePoint addresses the security, deployment and optimizing requirements that arise with a large, distributed SharePoint environment. The RSA Secure View tool for SharePoint provides customers with a hierarchical view of the SharePoint environment from servers to files within SharePoint sites.
EMC provides customers innovative information infrastructure, solutions and services optimized for their Microsoft environments. EMC Consulting, a unit within EMC Global Services, works with Microsoft Corp. to develop and deliver services that help customers streamline deployment, migration and management of all of their Microsoft technology platforms.
Laura Dubois, Program Director at IDC said,"The rapid adoption of SharePoint has brought increased productivity and collaboration to everyone in an organization. When an organization has multiple SharePoint farms, it can be difficult for IT to apply centralized policies for information governance. The EMC SourceOne for SharePoint helps IT set up policies for retention and disposition across several farms as well as free up needed storage space and system capacity."
SourceOne for SharePoint will be available by the end of June 2010.It will support SharePoint 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.
