Product Spotlight: Continuous Protection and Recovery for SharePoint Environments
TimeSpring Software announced TimeData for SharePoint, software that provides file-based continuous data protection (CDP) for SharePoint. Time-Data continuously captures all SharePoint data—whether it's collaborative documents or site configuration changes—in real time and stores it to an onsite or offsite repository. The product maintains system performance because it never interrupts user collaboration.
TimeData provides a simple way to recover your whole system, site, or documents. After you install the product, a new toolbar that appears in the SharePoint environment lets you browse historic views of SharePoint environments from any moment in time. You can browse a document's history from when it was originally uploaded to its current state. The toolbar also lets you recover lost or deleted documents.
I spoke with Agnes Lamont, vice president of marketing for TimeSpring, about the introduction of the new product. "By speaking with our customers, we heard a lot about SharePoint, and in particular, about protection," says Lamont. "We learned that SharePoint lacked capabilities that customers wanted; therefore, we provided an answer." For more information, contact TimeSpring.
