Over the past four years, Mimosa has tackled the tough job of harnessing Exchange and filesystem archiving and stemming uncontrolled storage growth. Adding SharePoint support enables Mimosa users to more effectively archive, protect, and apply e-discovery polices to created content throughout the enterprise.
NearPoint's scale-out grid architecture captures, stores, and manages SharePoint content in a single-instance indexed repository and supports delta versioning, which will enable companies to reduce the amount of storage required for archiving. Recovery with NearPoint provides centralized data protection for distributed SharePoint farms, supporting fine-grained recovery (restoration of lists and items), and coarse-grained recovery (recovers full environments and can aid with migration). The GUI that manages all of this is easy to use and provides the user/administrator with an easy-to-understand hierarchy.
The e-discovery piece of NearPoint for SharePoint provides browse, search and discovery against content, a preview pane for SharePoint List items (blogs, tasks, calendars, and wiki pages), e-discovery workflow for search, review lists, tagging, case management, and export load files. Also supported are in-place legal holds on SharePoint content alongside emails and files.
With greater information sharing and collaboration, there is an increased need for a centralized method to archive and apply business polices -- and to avoid cost where we can. Clearly, NearPoint for SharePoint is one offering that enables organizations to standardize on archival of vital collaboration efforts, more effectively support corporate governance and compliance with an up-to-date e-discovery methodology, and avoid costs by optimizing storage space.
