Join  our weekly webinar series to get a sneak peak at the StoragePoint File Share Librarian.  

With the release of StoragePoint 3.1 (...coming in October, public Beta available September 7th) we will deliver our Fileshare Librarian module.  It leverages the Shallow Copy Migration capability at the core of StoragePoint to import fileshare content into SharePoint without actually moving it.  Aside from being pretty cool stuff, it works incredibly well.  Incredibly well = millions of documents and terabytes of content cataloged in a day.  This is obviously a vastly superior approach compared with traditional Fileshare Migration solutions that carry the BLOB around as part of the migration workload and ultimately dump them in a content database.  And our Librarian (...go ahead, think of the old lady walking around the library cataloging the books and putting data on where to find them in a card catalog...it's a good analogy) doesn't just import the files, it creates a user-definable structure inside of SharePoint to hold it all.  You're not pointing a document library at a fileshare and everything lands in one doclib...you can make the destination a Web Application and it will start by creating site collections based on the top level folders in the fileshare, then sites, then libraries, then folders.  Start at a site and it will start with lists, then folders.  You get the idea.  You can also specify site and list templates (where applicable), including custom ones.  So if you want the libraries created a certain way just customize a library, save it as a template, and then select it when you setup the Librarian.  We also enable both "one and done" and "co-exist" usage scenarios.
