AvePoint, an industry leader in enterprise-strength data protection and management for Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, is introducing SharePoint Administrator for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The new product is to be released as part of AvePoint's award-winning DocAve product, in version 4.5, and will compliment its comprehensive suite of solutions for SharePoint 2003 and 2007 backend management.



DocAve SharePoint Administrator (http://www.avepoint.com/products/sharepoint-administration/sharepoint-administrator/) increases productivity and reduces security, compliance and performance risks by providing customers with simplified and truly centralized global administration of their enterprise-wide SharePoint environments, from a single farm to hundreds of farms distributed throughout the world. It dramatically reduces costs associated with complex deployments and policies that are difficult to implement and control across the entire organization. DocAve's unique distributed architecture offers a central control for administrators to easily view, search, manage, report, and replicate configuration, security, properties, and content of SharePoint farms, site collections, sites, web applications and folders.

DocAve SharePoint Administrator main functions include:

- Performs SharePoint Central Administration functions for numerous web applications at once, even across multiple farms, standardizing settings and configurations.

- Real-time discovery and monitoring of servers/farms that allows administrators to perform discovery/search functions across all farms and graphically displays server topology along with server functions, including their relationships, roles, and the health of services.

- Manages configurations, security, solutions & features globally using rule-based search and easily defined groupings of sites or farms, for simplified management by the type of environment, physical location, or business function.

- Runs sophisticated enterprise reports on SharePoint environments; captures and e-mails all administrative functions for real time alerts, review at a later time, or to satisfy compliance requirements.

- Manage roles and permissions at any level and delegates management of properties to local Administrators, concealing unauthorized objects.

"By allowing enterprise administrators and IT managers to easily manage their complex SharePoint deployments wherever they are across the world, SharePoint Administrator gives admins unprecedented control of their SharePoint environments. Administrators can now deploy configurations and security permissions simply, including by rule based searches, across all farms, web application, sites, down to the folders and list level. Instead of deploying forms or securities individually to every server farm, they can now be deployed in a single step", said TJ (Tianyi) Jiang, Chief Operating Officer, AvePoint Inc. "DocAve delivers the industry's first truly integrated and complete solution across the entire SharePoint back-end--- our SharePoint -focused approach allows us to provide our customer with the technologies to help them protect and simplify administration of SharePoint."

The combination of industry leading technologies, such as backup and recovery, administration, replication, compliance and migration, within one DocAve Software Platform embodies AvePoint's unique approach to SharePoint Server backend management, and continues the expansion of AvePoint's award-winning product line.
