SharePoint IN THE NEWS

AvePoint, Dell Partner for Content Management

By David Rubinstein

AvePoint yesterday announced an integration of its DocAve life-cycle management solution with Dell's DX Object Storage Platform, enabling those customers to get the benefits of SharePoint.

Dell's platform was created for users who need to store, access, protect and distribute digital content. The technology alliance between the companies creates a central point of storage management for SharePoint content, including the ability to customize storage policies, as well as a single point to create and manage backup plans for SharePoint assets, according to an AvePoint announcement of the partnership.

The integration also provides automated SharePoint migration via connectors for assets stored in the Dell platform, with consolidation and archiving of SharePoint content that the company said reduces SQL storage requirements. Further, Dell's platform offers data protection with customizable replication options between clusters and across sites, according to Dell, which helps organizations continue to fulfill service level agreements.

More Information about the integration is available.

Moving to SharePoint 2010? Read this technical paper filled with best practices that will help you plan for the big day, as well as anticipate any challenges.

Getting Ready for SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1

By Todd Klindt, SharePoint911 Microsoft always puts on a great show, and late May's TechEd North America in Atlanta was no exception. And as a SharePoint guy, my focus is always on SharePoint announcements and we got a doozy this year. Microsoft announced that Service Pack 1 (SP1) for SharePoint 2010 would be released "in late June 2011." This is great news. It's great that it's coming out soon, and it's great we got some lead time to plan for it. In this article, I'll cover a couple of SP1's more exciting features, and more importantly, I'll cover what you can do to get prepared for SP1's arrival. SP1's main emphasis is bug fixes. Unlike the bimonthly Cumulative Updates (CUs) that come out for SharePoint 2010, SP1 has gotten rigorous testing and should be installed regardless of whether or not it addresses issues your SharePoint 2010 farm has. CUs, on the other hand, should only be installed if they address an issue your farm is experiencing. SP1 should find its way onto everyone's farms sooner rather than later. Now, I know what you're thinking: There's nothing exciting about bug fixes, especially if you don't happen to be hitting the bugs that are getting fixed. To sweeten the pot, and encourage us to install SP1 anyway, Microsoft is also adding some exciting new capabilities. I won't cover them all here; you can get the full list from the SharePoint team blog. To whet your appetite, though, I will mention a couple of my favorites.
