Two heads are better than one when it comes to the challenge of  managing rich content on SharePoint, so Metalogix Software and Equilibrium have combined forces to address the task.

The two companies will offer a combined solution based on Metalogix StoragePoint and Equilibrium MediaRich ECM for SharePoint, to provide an enhanced visual experience when searching and inspecting SharePoint document libraries – even when content has been offloaded from the SharePoint database to improve system performance.

“Equilibrium’s MediaRich solution transforms any SharePoint Document Library Web Part into a visually appealing interface while simultaneously enabling deep inspection of all files and search results,” said Sean Barger, CEO, Equilibrium.

“This helps to accelerate productivity and collaboration while also enabling anyone to find and preview the right file for the job. When combined with StoragePoint, users can more easily store and find all content in SharePoint without burdening their SQL database with large files that can impede overall performance.”

“The partnership between Equilibrium and Metalogix helps resolve the fundamental problem of storing digital assets in SharePoint,” said Trevor Hellebuyck, vice president of enterprise technology, Metalogix.

“When used together, MediaRich and StoragePoint enable SharePoint users and administrators to not only instantly visually search and view all digital content, but to also have the unstructured content BLOBs offloaded so that SharePoint databases can perform at optimum levels.”
