AvePoint and HDS in Partnership in Singapore

AvePoint, Inc., a Microsoft Cloud expert, announced a partnership with Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) in Singapore.

This partnership will help Singaporean customers reduce TCO, backup time, and IO/s requirements for SharePoint. DocAve Storage Manager optimizes SharePoint storage by transferring unstructured data from SQL Servers to Hitachi content platform, and DocAve Archiver applies intelligent lifecycle management to data in order to fulfill requirements around information retention when audited.

“Despite the overwhelming benefits around team collaboration and document management that SharePoint provides, Singaporean organisations are still facing challenges around cost efficiency, as well as auditing and compliance,” said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, Co-CEO and co-founder, AvePoint. “This partnership between AvePoint and Hitachi Data Systems allows more organisations to realise these benefits without being held back by cost of ownership and lack of robust capabilities for data retention in order to stay in compliance with industry and government regulations.“

In order to establish lifecycle management capabilities,
AvePoint and HDS work together through the following products:

• DocAve Archiver, part of the DocAve software platform, enables true enterprise content lifecycle management by helping organisations reduce SharePoint storage costs, improve performance, and enhance compliance with records and information management policies.
• DocAve Storage Manager, also a part of the DocAve software platform, mitigates the negative consequences of exponential content growth by implementing and enforcing binary large object (BLOB) externalisation strategies throughout SharePoint’s lifecycle.
• Hitachi Content Platform enables organizations to manage, govern, protect, and share data so that they can improve productivity, gain efficiency, and further their transformation of IT.
  

“Storage costs for collaboration platforms like SharePoint can become a massive burden for some organisations,” said Joe Ong, MD, HDS Singapore. “Our partnership with AvePoint helps customers efficiently offload data to our platform, but also access strengthened compliance auditing capabilities to ensure data is stored safely.“
