@Metalogix Unveils Expanded Content Lifecycle Management Solutions to Manage, Migrate, Store, Archive and Protect SharePoint Content http://bit.ly/n7l8e5
METALOGIX BREAKS SHAREPOINT MIGRATION SPEED BARRIER, MOVING OVER 500GB PER DAY, FOR HIGH FIDELITY SHAREPOINT UPGRADES
New Product Releases Radically Increase the Speed of SharePoint Migrations and Upgrades by 1000% and Reduces the Time to Externalize SharePoint Content by Half
Anaheim, CA – SharePoint Conference – October 3, 2011 – Metalogix Software, the trusted provider of content lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange® and Cloud platforms, today announced major new product releases to address the ever-increasing size of SharePoint farms since the launch of SharePoint 2010.
Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint 5.0 includes powerful performance enhancements to address the operational need for speed when moving, upgrading or migrating SharePoint, including multithreading technology. These performance enhancements provide radical gains in migration speeds, while simultaneously ensuring high fidelity movement and integrity of SharePoint environments. Additionally, the Company announced enhancements to Metalogix StoragePoint, with performance enhanced job timing automation that reduces Binary Large Objects (BLOB) externalization processing time up to 50%. Together, these innovative solutions empower a faster SharePoint migration, simplified SharePoint management as well as optimizing SharePoint storage both on-premises and in the cloud.
“More than 66% of enterprises have deployed SharePoint and half of those organizations classify it as a top-five business application,” said Brian Babineau, vice president, research and analyst services, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Organizations should assume that SharePoint will fall into the ‘mission-critical’ category, if they haven’t already accepted this reality, and that the optimization of the environment—from provisioning, security, data mobility, and storage—has to be thought of and addressed holistically. The latest releases from Metalogix for content lifecycle management deliver compelling value for the overall performance of SharePoint and provide this holistic approach necessary for improved management, migration and storage efficiency.”
Dramatically Faster SharePoint Migrations
Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint 5.0, available this week in beta for existing customers, speeds site migrations and upgrades from days to minutes non-disruptively. Early lab testing of the new architecture shows more than 1000% performance improvement by leveraging sophisticated multithreading techniques. Using multithreading, Migration Manager for SharePoint can split migration tasks over multiple operations and run them simultaneously for record migration performance. Metalogix Migration Manager, considered the de facto standard for SharePoint migration and upgrades, also offers enhanced incremental copy intelligence that enables it to skip seamlessly over settings and content that doesn’t need to be migrated.
The new feature is especially useful for SharePoint environments with multiple layers of sub-sites.
When combined with the new Metalogix StoragePoint v3 series release(s), Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint drastically improves SharePoint migration performance by extending the use of proprietary “shallow copy” technology—customers with the largest files see the most benefit since all of the data does not need to be copied in the migration, such as document libraries or list attachments. StoragePoint enables organizations to offload unstructured content BLOBs from SharePoint content databases into lower cost storage systems and reduce their SQL content databases size by 95%. StoragePoint 3.2 has been enhanced to include performance automation improvements that distribute workload across servers, increasing BLOB externalization speed by up to 50%. The new version also includes a new migration scenario that catalogs content before executing a migration job as well as an improved File Share Librarian feature that supports multiple mappings of file share content per site collection.
“We had close to 200GB of storage in a single SharePoint content database,” said Matt Adkins, Microsoft Systems Lead, Liberty University. “It was really complicating things when it came to backups. We needed to optimize our SharePoint storage to improve performance and data protection processes. StoragePoint enables Liberty to keep its unstructured BLOB content such as PDFs, JPEG images and Microsoft Word documents out of SharePoint’s content databases and offload them onto virtually any mix of SAN, NAS or Cloud Storage. Just a couple of hours after installation, the university began to see immediate ROI by enabling it to leverage more cost-effective storage without sacrificing performance, functionality or user experience.”
Office 365 and Hybrid Cloud Support
Additionally, Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint was the first SharePoint migration product to support remote connections to SharePoint. With the latest product update, customers now have a number of connection options to SharePoint servers. The supported source servers include SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS), WSS 2, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), WSS 3, SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010. In fact, Migration Manager for SharePoint is the only solution Microsoft has approved for installation in the Microsoft data centers for Office 365 dedicated or the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS-D).This approval is for the Microsoft SharePoint Online Code Analysis Framework (MSOCAF) in Office 365. For more information on Office 365 support with Migration Manager for SharePoint, click here: http://www.metalogix.com/News-Detail/11-06-27/Metalogix_Announces_General_Availability_Of_Microsoft_Office_365_Support_With_Metalogix_Migration_Manager_For_SharePoint.aspx
Since Migration Manager for SharePoint can connect to SharePoint servers using the native web services and SharePoint 2010 client object model, Metalogix customers can also copy data back and forth between the cloud and on-premises – ideal for hybrid cloud SharePoint architectures. Operations can be scheduled and then run at any time to create a two-way sync option. This offers powerful freedom to manage and move between on-premises and the cloud--whether it be a private cloud, multi-tenant environment, hybrid cloud or some combination.
The Power to Realize the Complete Value of SharePoint 2010
With Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint 5.0 series organizations can quickly benefit from many of the powerful enhancements available in SharePoint 2010. New, key features of Migration Manager for SharePoint that accelerate the value proposition for SharePoint 2010 include:
• Migrate Term Stores from SP 2010 to SP 2010: Customers can consolidate their taxonomy when they consolidate their SharePoint servers. Less servers results in simplified SharePoint management.
• User-Friendly Auto-Complete Feature to Add SharePoint Terms Using File Share Edition: This feature is a user-friendly way for customers to tag file share items before they get migrated to SharePoint. This speeds the ability to leverage the power of a centralized taxonomy on SharePoint 2010.
• Re-Templating to SharePoint 2010 Templates: A migration to SharePoint 2010 can be quickly enhanced with the newer, improved SharePoint 2010 templates if desired, rather than retaining the original site template designs.
“The hyper-growth of SharePoint over the next two years should be characterized as a SharePoint-palooza and having the fastest and most cost effective solutions to efficiently manage, migrate, store, archive and protect content throughout its entire lifecycle is going to be an operational imperative,” said Steven Murphy, CEO, Metalogix. “Our newly announced high-performance and increasingly cost-effective content lifecycle management solutions allow organizations to move, search and backup content faster than any other ISV – increasing your ability to scale, consolidate and simplify the management while reducing the total lifecycle costs of business critical Microsoft content on-premises or in the cloud.”
Pricing and Availability
Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint is available now with pricing starting as low as $6,000 per 75GB. Metalogix StoragePoint is also available now with pricing starting at $9,000 per web front end. For more information, please visit: www.metalogix.com.
StoragePoint 3.2 is available now. Migration Manager 5.0 beta is available this week for current customers and will be generally available in November.

Multinational Real Estate Firm, @KnightFrank LLP, Standardizes on SharePoint Migration and Management Solutions from @Metalogix http://bit.ly/pwhCAB
MULTINATIONAL REAL ESTATE FIRM, KNIGHT FRANK LLP STANDARDIZES ON SHAREPOINT MIGRATION, MANAGEMENT AND DATA PROTECTION SOLUTIONS FROM METALOGIX
Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint and StoragePoint Solutions Streamline Move from SharePoint 2007 to 2010 While Reducing Storage Resources and Management Overhead
Anaheim CA –SharePoint Conference – October 3, 2011– Metalogix Software, the trusted provider of content lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange®, and Cloud platforms, today announced that Knight Frank, a multinational real estate and property service firm, has standardized on Metalogix’s suite of solutions for SharePoint migration, management and data protection. Selecting Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint, Metalogix StoragePoint and Metalogix Selective Restore Manager for SharePoint, Knight Frank is able to speed its move from SharePoint 2007 to 2010 while reducing overall storage resource requirements and management overhead.
ClearPeople, a London based Metalogix partner and SharePoint business solution specialist, worked closely with Knight Frank devising their SharePoint 2007 to 2010 strategy. The main challenges that the Knight Frank SharePoint team faced was the method by which best to manage content in a SharePoint 2010 environment and to bring across only business relevant documents from existing file shares and content already harnessed in SharePoint 2007. Knight Frank found the Metalogix StoragePoint Librarian solution to be the perfect match in their strategy of incrementally moving only up-to-date documents from their file shares to SharePoint over an extended time period.
“The Metalogix product set covered all the bases of Knight Frank’s wisely formulated SharePoint strategy,” said Gabriel Karawani, head of business solutions, ClearPeople. “Furthermore, it was very clear that the Metalogix products were by far the front-runner when investigating the global market place for suitable products”.
Knight Frank LLP was founded in London in 1896. Knight Frank together with its New York-based affiliate Newmark Knight Frank is one of the world's leading independent global property consultancies. It has 207 offices in 43 countries, with staff of over 6,000. The group handled over $886 billion worth of commercial, agricultural and residential real estate in 2008-2009, advising clients ranging from individual owners and buyers to major developers, investors and corporate tenants.
The company relies on SharePoint as its company-wide collaboration and communication solution. Recently, the organization determined that it was time to migrate from its current SharePoint 2007 platform to SharePoint 2010 so that it could improve user productivity. The project, at first, seemed very daunting since Knight Frank had more than 700GB on a single content database. Even worse, the bloated database was causing backup problems and single document restores were very difficult to achieve. After evaluating point solutions from a few separate vendors, Knight Frank selected a suite of solutions from Metalogix for its comprehensive feature set, common user interface and strong SharePoint integration. After implementation of StoragePoint began, their database has been reduced from 700GB to 48GB.
“We needed a simplified solution to aid in our migration from SharePoint 2007 to 2010, while also enabling us to restore various items from the backup files,” said James White, technical architect, Knight Frank. “Metalogix offered a comprehensive suite of solutions to help us reduce our database size and migrate our content to the new SharePoint version while also enabling us to restore individual files and documents for seamless data protection. Plus, they offered it all with the continuity of a common user interface from a single vendor that is renowned for its superior SharePoint integration capabilities.”
For Knight Frank’s SharePoint content database, Metalogix StoragePoint externalizes SharePoint content Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), so that they may be stored on less expensive or more appropriate storage systems. This means their SQL clusters can be right-sized for optimal performance and the size of the SharePoint content database can be dramatically reduced while still maintaining critical metadata in the SQL Server SharePoint to ensure content is easily discovered and retrieved for ease of management within SharePoint.
Supporting Knight Frank’s migration from SharePoint 2007 to 2010, Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint uses a familiar copy-and-paste-style user interface which allows the company to quickly and transparently migrate all SharePoint sites, libraries, lists, web parts and permissions between servers.
For those individual documents and list items stored in native SharePoint backups, Knight Frank will use Selective Restore Manager for SharePoint to simplify the process of restoring items, all without having to rebuild the entire product database or deploy a temporary SharePoint recovery farm. Now Knight Frank is able to connect directly to its native SQL Server backup files, and navigate them as though they were live SharePoint sites.
“For customers like Knight Frank, Metalogix offers the suite of SharePoint migration, management and data protection products they need to simplify and optimize their current environment while reducing the risks associated with critical content migrations, document restores and data protection,” said Steven Murphy, CEO Metalogix. “We match the value of our solutions with world-class support services and the assurance of knowing that our products have been developed closely with Microsoft to adhere to their mandated SharePoint APIs so that integration is seamless and secure.”

@Metalogix Outlines Best Practices for Overcoming SharePoint Content, Migration, Management & Storage Challenges http://bit.ly/pu1cbb
Metalogix Outlines Best Practices to Optimize SharePoint Content, Migration, Management and Storage for Better Customer Experience
New Whitepaper Shares “Four Practical Solutions to Free Your Content with SharePoint”
WASHINGTON, DC, September 20, 2011 – Metalogix Software, the leading provider in content lifecycle management (CLM) solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange®, and legacy environments, today revealed key best practices for freeing enterprise content and optimizing SharePoint to enable knowledge workers to be more productive. In the new whitepaper, “Four Practical Solutions to Free Your Content with SharePoint,” Metalogix outlines how today’s data-rich organizations can overcome common CLM issues to optimize SharePoint content, migration, management and storage.
With the recent explosion in data growth, legacy systems across organizations often constrain knowledge workers, leading to frustration and limiting productivity. Microsoft SharePoint has become a compelling choice to help manage rapidly expanding content and empower workers to effectively collaborate and share data. However, before the benefits of SharePoint can be fully realized, organizations must be prepared to overcome common SharePoint content, migration, management and storage challenges.
“Many organizations have islands of content retained in legacy enterprise content management (ECM) systems including eRoom, Oracle Content Server, Stellent, Documentum and MCMS 2002,” said Stephen Cawood, director of product marketing, Metalogix. “Ultimately, this trapped content limits user productivity, while placing undue management and cost burdens on servers, storage and IT resources. Yet, legacy systems are not the only limitations common in today’s content infrastructures. Even those organizations that are fully reliant on SharePoint for their ECM processes face challenges in terms of migration, management and storage. By following best practices to free their corporate content, organizations can remove the silos that are limiting user productivity and optimize their infrastructure for a more productive and reliable ECM experience.”
To help organizations deal with the content explosion and free their corporate content, Metalogix has outlined four freedom best practices. These best practices include:
1. Embrace Growth. Unstructured data comprises 95 percent of today’s digital content. When this unstructured content is placed in SharePoint, it creates binary large objects (BLOBs) that can significantly impact SharePoint storage requirements. Organizations can embrace growth and prepare for the unstructured content by implementing a solution, such as Metalogix StoragePoint, which will offload BLOBs to lower cost storage solutions. This will reduce SharePoint storage costs while right-sizing the SQL Server database for improved SharePoint performance.
2. Consolidate and Optimize Siloed Content. For SharePoint to be most effective, it should include as much data as possible from all parts of the organization. When planning a consolidation project, it is important to evaluate why current information silos, including file shares, legacy ECM systems, and departmental SharePoint deployments, exist across the organization. It’s also critical to understand all of the use cases for each system to assure they can be accommodated within a consolidated SharePoint environment. Using a migration solution, such as Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint, can automate consolidation, migration and optimization while minimizing downtime.
3. Upgrade the SharePoint Information Architecture. The SharePoint information architecture includes how site collections, sites, document libraries, and lists are organized within the SharePoint structure. Consolidating or upgrading to SharePoint 2010 presents an ideal opportunity to reorganize your SharePoint implementation and ensure that your information architecture is future-ready. Since major releases of SharePoint only come along every three years or so, re-examining and updating the information architecture should definitely be part of any upgrade or migration.
4. Consider SharePoint in the Cloud. With the release of Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint 2010 is now available in the cloud and SharePoint Online is poised to gain momentum. A key advantage is that SharePoint Online can be used in many different scenarios to move content non-disruptively to the cloud. A use case that is quickly becoming popular is hybrid cloud environments that leverage both SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online. This gives organizations the freedom to manage more data between on-premises servers and the cloud – whether it is a private cloud, multi-tenant environment, hybrid cloud, or some combination. The freedom and flexibility is compelling. Metalogix is the only migration vendor approved by Microsoft for use with Office 365.
The breadth of features and high user adoption of SharePoint means that many organizations are now focusing on SharePoint for their comprehensive content management needs. Yet there are still some content, migration, management, and storage challenges that must be addressed before organizations can fully achieve their SharePoint goals. To help, Metalogix outlines these four content freedom practices in detail along with recommendations on how to apply them in the whitepaper, “Four Practical Solutions to Free Your Content with SharePoint.” To download the complete paper, please visit: http://ping.fm/GfA4k

ESG Survey Reveals Two Out Of Three Enterprises Use SharePoint As Business Critical Application ? Need For SharePoint Management Tools A Top Priority To Help Scale And Improve Performance
Metalogix Solves Key Management Challenges Associated with SharePoint Content Sprawl with Intuitive Management, Migration and Storage Optimization Solutions
WASHINGTON, DC, August 30, 2011 – Metalogix Software, the leading provider in content lifecycle management (CLM) solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange®, and legacy environments, today announced that it solves key challenges for companies that are making big bets with SharePoint as a top business critical application, as outlined in the new Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) whitepaper, “Managing SharePoint as a Business-critical Application.” The new research paper, authored by ESG’s Brian Babineau and Bill Lundell, outlines how SharePoint management should be an investment priority because today’s considerations with SharePoint infrastructure management, security and data migrations are only going to gain importance as usage increases and the profile of users evolves.
According to the ESG study, which surveyed 3,129 IT professionals, 64 percent of North American and Western European organizations are currently using SharePoint, while an additional 12 percent intend to within the next 24 months. This overwhelmingly confirms that SharePoint is now considered to be a top business application – 80 percent ranked it among their top 10 business applications- a significant update since the March 2009 survey. This major shift in enterprise content management direction is driven by the increasing need for team and document collaboration as well as document versioning and management with the SharePoint 2010 SP1 version. However, the survey shows this rapid adoption of SharePoint and its resulting business reliance comes with some significant management gaps that ISVs are poised to fill.
“SharePoint optimization requires several different tracks, including increased asset utilization, data mobility and movement and storage management, all while maintaining satisfactory application availability and response times,” said Babineau and Lundell in the ESG paper. “Organizations must consider this process holistically in order to avoid relying on one-off resolutions that don’t scale and end up costing more money in the long run.”
Metalogix solutions for SharePoint delivers this holistic approach to SharePoint management, providing users with the freedom to consolidate, manage and optimize their enterprise content the way their applications behave. Metalogix eliminates the out-of-the-box operational constraints and enables organizations of all sizes to optimize the SharePoint content infrastructure in order to consolidate, scale and cost-effectively manage, migrate, store, archive and protect enterprise content whether on-premise or in the cloud. The following are the three key SharePoint management challenges outlined by the ESG paper and how Metalogix solutions help to resolve them:
Storage and Infrastructure: In the area of SharePoint infrastructure, ESG reports that the most common issue IT departments report is performance and scalability, from many different perspectives. This is largely due to high data growth, which can cause difficulty in provisioning storage capacity, wide area network performance problems, poor application response times, lengthy content search times and slow backup and recovery processes.
Metalogix StoragePoint’s BLOB externalization and archiving solution helps eliminate this critical SharePoint infrastructure challenge by enabling organizations to keep their unstructured binary large objects (BLOBs) out of SharePoint’s content database and offloading them onto virtually any tier of NAS, SAN or Cloud storage platforms. Here, the BLOBs can be stored on less-expensive systems and SQL clusters can be right sized for optimal performance by consolidating and vastly reducing unnecessary content databases and thereby improve search, back up and archive performance times by as much as 95 percent.
Content Migrations: The ESG report states that upon deploying a new SharePoint farm or site, organizations have to make a critical decision regarding their legacy content and files – migrate it or portal the metadata content within SharePoint. Another challenge is often moving data between SharePoint – either to a newer version or when moving existing on-premises SharePoint deployments to other servers, consolidating sites or moving some or all to the cloud.
Security Implications: When it comes to application security management challenges experienced since deploying SharePoint, over half of the ESG study respondents said that managing the permissions of who has access to content was a key concern. Provisioning sites in accordance with internal security policies was also a significant concern.
Metalogix Migration Manager helps to resolve this challenge through its built-in ongoing farm management capabilities by preserving all views, version chains, metadata and user-edit information when migrating between SharePoint sites. It can also map and migrate site permissions so that internal security policies can be easily enforced.
Regardless of an organization’s desired content lifecycle strategy, Metalogix offers a migration solution to help. Metalogix migration solutions migrate content into SharePoint from numerous sources or legacy systems. Adoption of Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) and Office 365 is also simplified with easy-to-use, cost effective and powerful migration solutions and Metalogix is the only SharePoint migration product that has passed both the security and performance criteria set by Microsoft to be approved for installation on Office 365 dedicated servers.
“Clearly, SharePoint is rapidly coming of age now, and is becoming one of the most critical content collaboration delivery platforms that is driving this new era of mobile and social-based business applications, and with it comes with some new management responsibilities,” said CEO Steven Murphy. “At Metalogix, our team has been solving SharePoint migration and management challenges for more than 10 years. We take a standards-based approach to delivering comprehensive content lifecycle management solutions that enable organizations to increase the useability and performance of their content applications while reducing the administrative, storage costs, and operational risks associated with your growing Microsoft content.“

Regardless of an organization’s desired content lifecycle strategy, Metalogix offers a migration solution to help. Metalogix migration solutions migrate content into SharePoint from numerous sources or legacy systems. Adoption of Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) and Office 365 is also simplified with easy-to-use, cost effective and powerful migration solutions and Metalogix is the only SharePoint migration product that has passed both the security and performance criteria set by Microsoft to be approved for installation on Office 365 dedicated servers.
“Clearly, SharePoint is rapidly coming of age now, and is becoming one of the most critical content collaboration delivery platforms that is driving this new era of mobile and social-based business applications, and with it comes with some new management responsibilities,” said CEO Steven Murphy. “At Metalogix, our team has been solving SharePoint migration and management challenges for more than 10 years. We take a standards-based approach to delivering comprehensive content lifecycle management solutions that enable organizations to increase the useability and performance of their content applications while reducing the administrative, storage costs, and operational risks associated with your growing Microsoft content.“
