Case Study: Caspian Pipeline Consortium achieves full-fidelity SharePoint restores and seamless file-share access with AvePoint DocAve

Caspian Pipeline Consortium Restores MissionCritical Microsoft SharePoint Content and Connects to File Shares with DocAve

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), a major crude pipeline project based in Novorossiysk, Russia, implemented Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to centralize employee collaboration. Administrators soon faced frequent requests to restore deleted or outdated documents and discovered native SharePoint restoration stripped metadata and lacked granular recovery or a way to surface large file-share repositories through SharePoint without migrating content.

CPC deployed AvePoint DocAve Backup and Restore and DocAve Connector, gaining full-fidelity, granular restores (including metadata, permissions and version history), intelligent backup scheduling, and SharePoint access to file shares without migration. The solution eliminated the need for additional disaster servers, reduced SQL storage pressure, sped up recoveries with minimal disruption, and provided users a single, managed access point to both SharePoint and file-share content.
