Kroll Ontrack claims new software is first of a kind

IT Industry - Development

Data recovery provider, Kroll Ontrack, has released Ontrack Power Controls 5.1, a new tool the company says is a first of a kind solution compatible with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Ontrack claims a number of benefits of utilising Ontrack PowerControls, including  minimising the time to restore an individual document, maintaining data integrity of the SharePoint source and target and minimisation of  the costs involved in restoring lost items.

Ontrack’s general manager, Asia Pacific, Adrian Briscoe, said PowerControls 5.1 allows IT administrators to easily and efficiently share and restore items from a SharePoint database.

According to Briscoe, administrators familiar with Ontrack PowerControls software for Exchange could now apply time and cost saving recovery capabilities to what he said was a widely used enterprise content management (ECM) application.

Briscoe maintained that while SharePoint Server 2007 had advantageous ECM capabilities, “the human management element all too often posed data loss risks to users and companies that relied on this data collaboration tool."
