Case Study: Wah Lee Industrial Corp protects business-critical data and connects 20 TB of file shares to SharePoint with AvePoint

Wah Lee Industrial Corp. Protects Business Critical Data and Connects 20 TB of File Share Content to Microsoft® SharePoint® with AvePoint

Wah Lee Industrial Corp., a Taiwan-based technology company, needed to consolidate enterprise content and make SharePoint the single entry point for employees while avoiding the performance and maintenance problems of migrating massive file shares. With roughly 20 TB of accumulated documents and strict customer-driven security and regulatory requirements, the IT team sought a way to connect legacy file content to SharePoint without inflating its database and to enforce information‑security policies automatically.

Wah Lee deployed AvePoint DocAve Connector to link 20 TB of file‑share content directly to SharePoint (keeping BLOBs on file servers) and added AvePoint Compliance Guardian and Watermark to automate policy enforcement and outbound protection. The solution optimized SharePoint storage and response times, significantly reduced SQL/server maintenance and IT workload, provided centralized access to legacy content, and automatically blocked or reported non‑compliant activity to strengthen overall information security.
