If you’re a heavy SharePoint user, you will know that it can be used on-premise, online and in hybrid deployments. Managing one type of deployment is difficult enough, but three? AvePoint 6 -- or, officially, DocAve 6, which has gone on general release today -- aims to help enterprises overcome that by pulling the management of SharePoint into one space.

Running in tandem with the release of SharePoint 2010, there are two other elements that, along with SharePoint, point to a more efficient and agile future for management of content. Those two elements are the proliferation of cloud computing possibilities and, combining these two other elements, the development of hybrid online/on premise computing environments.

AvePoint, a provider that aims to protect and serve SharePoint, has released the newest version of its flagship management software platform. Via a redesigned, ribbon-based UI, the fully-integrated DocAve 6 extends the platform's capabilities in order to better unify the management of on-premise, cloud, and hybrid SharePoint farms.

Things happen quickly in the industry, including changes in employment. Here's a quick and dirty list of the biggest moves that hit our radar over the last couple of weeks:

While many companies are chomping at the bit to move across to SharePoint 2010 from any number of legacy systems, the migration problems are huge. As a result, AvePoint (news, site) has released a number of migration tools for SP 2010 as early as February 2010, but is now also offering them the first 100GB of content across the divide for free.

While AvePoint has been steadily adding to its list of SharePoint management capabilities, it has also been anxious to spread its influence with the spread of SharePoint 2010 in enterprises globally. One way it is doing that is with the new  partnership agreement with Hitachi Consulting.

If you are using SharePoint for the bulk of your information management needs, it's likely you have way to much content stored in SharePoint's SQL Server database.
