The Business Problem

Information is a valuable corporate asset. Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies improve access to information with portal, document management and collaboration capabilities. As business relies more on SharePoint, it becomes critical to protect the documents and files in SharePoint portals. Administrators need reliable data protection strategy for SharePoint.

The CommVault® Solution

CommVault Galaxy® Backup and Recovery with iDataAgents (iDAs) for SharePoint protect documents and files residing in SharePoint Portal repositories. Whether you are using SharePoint Portal 2001, SharePoint Portal 2003, Windows SharePoint Services 2003, or a combination, Galaxy software provides reliable and easy-to-manage data protection capabilities. SharePoint Portal farms depend on Windows file system, SQL Server and Active Directory, so Galaxy software's unified approach to protecting the entire SharePoint environment is also critical to a SharePoint protection strategy.

Managing SharePoint Service 2007 Systems

CommVault® Simpana™ ensures high-performance data protection, active-archiving, indexing for discovery, compliance, legal and regulatory requirements, enhancing the management of SharePoint Products and Technologies and the Windows Server Environment that SharePoint resides in. CommVault strategically integrates and offers consistent management for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS), and Windows SharePoint Services (WWS). CommVault's suite of data management software is built on a single, Microsoft Windows-based software platform so that it all works easily together. The CommVault solution can assist and accelerate your new install upgrade to MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0. While managing the Windows Server environment SharePoint 2007 resides in, CommVault software adds granular management of various SharePoint items such as sites, documents, lists surveys, .aspx pages, templates, contacts, and so forth. This granular management capability allows you to protect and recover all versions of various SharePoint items.

The CommVault Simpana suite is optimized to take advantage of the 64-bit computing environment and Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) while integrating with new features of Exchange Server 2007 like Continuous Cluster Replication, Local Continuous Replication (CCR/LCR) and Unified Messaging.

CommVault archiving and compliance capabilties enable SharePoint data to be used within regulatory compliance guidelines. Data can be searched and recalled based on content, regardless if it is directly embedded in Exchange Server 2007 or within the Windows environment.

Upgrading and remaining within compliance is easier with CommVault software as you can restore older Windows SharePoint Services 2003 and SharePoint Portal Server data to SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and Exchange Server. You have the same forward mobility of Windows file system data, Microsoft Active Directory data and Microsoft Exchange Server data.
