Metalogix, the
premier provider of unified cloud software to migrate, manage and secure
content across enterprise collaboration platforms, today announced Storage Expert,
a new product designed to enable Microsoft SharePoint Administrators to
drive increased application and content performance, while dramatically
reducing storage costs. Storage Expert is available immediately, and
for a limited time – free-of-charge.
Storage Expert enables Microsoft SharePoint Administrators to analyze
and gain insight into the entirety of the content under management.
Storage Expert automatically finds and analyzes potential performance
issues, enabling the problems to be rectified appropriately, well before
user impact. It further analyzes all SharePoint data to find
unstructured and/or unused content that could be moved to a less
expensive storage option, while also determining if the SharePoint data
would be more appropriately and advantageously stored in the cloud or
on-premises. Storage Expert users enjoy fully optimized application
performance, while also reaping a cost savings of up to 90%.
“Organizations are under a constant balancing act to manage exponential
data growth and the need to store content long-term for regulatory
compliance,” said Steven Murphy, CEO, Metalogix. “This data bloat puts a
significant strain on SharePoint environments - resulting in poor
application performance, impacting user productivity and business
efficiency. IT administrators are turning to Storage Expert to help them
proactively identify bottlenecks and take action to maximize the
performance and optimal health of their SharePoint environment while
driving down storage costs.”
Microsoft has announced the release of SharePoint Server 2016 Beta 2 for
November and by next year many organizations will start the migration
to the new version of SharePoint on-premises, as well as continued
migrations to hybrid models and Office 365. Proper maintenance is key to
a healthy SharePoint environment, and is especially necessary when
considering and conducting a migration. By externalizing unused and
large content files and assessing what content can be archived, a health
check with Storage Expert can also provide the crucial recommendations
that can optimize an environment for a smooth and organized migration.
