e-Discovery Solutions

Solution Description

As organizations have struggled with the search and retrieval of abandoned data stored in siloed infrastructures and grappled with storage sprawl, Hitachi Data Systems has worked to develop new file and content services that dramatically simplify data management and improve total cost of ownership. The Hitachi Data Discovery Suite delivers powerful content index and search services across network attached storage (NAS) and content archive environments—an industry first that breaks through the traditional barriers of stovepipe storage infrastructures and mitigates the risk of unmanaged or rogue data.

Specifically, the Hitachi Data Discovery Suite helps preserve, search, identify and collect electronically stored information across the storage infrastructure, from one secure location. In addition, it allows end users and Independent Software Vendor partners to search multiple data sources with a single query through a single interface, which empowers them to address self-service file restoration, cross platform search and retrieval, and file-based tiering. This provides customers and partners great value by enabling the simple “search and discovery” of electronic information — if ever faced with a lawsuit or an audit, for example. Furthermore, this state-of-the-art functionality enables organizations to get the most out of their tier storage investments — delivering dramatic cost savings.

Value Proposition and Benefits

• Reduce electronic discovery risk by simplifying the steps required to both find and control rogue data.
• Save time and money by enabling organizations to search across their NAS and archive environments with a single query.
• Empower end users to do file restores themselves as well as archive files directly from Microsoft SharePoint — saving Help Desk resources, while at the same time promoting data privacy.
