Use case: IT storage management

While storage managers have any number of issues on their front burners at any given time, the one issue that may subsume them all is the management of storage growth. In an environment where one click of the send button on a keyboard can result in a file proliferating five hundred fold across enterprise and geographical boundaries, the concept of data deduplication has never been more relevant or important. In fact, storage managers should take heart, the pedigree of information access technology and core competencies of the technology architects can be traced back to storage management. Date de-duplication is an important factor; file type mismatch reports help uncover MP3 music files cleverly renamed to look into conduct that could adversely impact the organization.

These tools have other uses too, particularly file size and aging reports which are of enormous benefit to the planning and budgeting for IT multi-tiered storage strategies and “green data center” initiatives, which in turn have a significant impact on disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

Federated eDiscovery

Common challenges encountered by corporations in managing their enterprise-wide information:

1. Unnecessary data movement and collection before first-pass review by inside and outside counsel – untargeted, over-collection leads to liabilities, high preservation costs, delays in decision making and inability to make crucial early-case assessments

2. Too much data being outsourced to legal service providers for eDiscovery and hosting for analysis/review – corporations do not have control on in-house eDiscovery and costs are driven sky-high

3. Data is brought over the WAN to central locations for review, analysis & processing – too much network bandwidth is consumed and the infrastructure costs are high

The ideal solution will provide a federated architecture that obviates unnecessary data movement, allows in-place analysis and first-pass review, enables early-case assessments before collection, and enables targeted collection of relevant data. The result is not only efficiency and cost reduction, but also accuracy, defensibility and providing control to the corporation.
