PrintWith LegalTech New York 2010 going on this week, there is a flurry of e-discovery and regulatory compliance product and partnership news.
RenewData claims improved performance for its eDiscovery service
Service provider RenewData Corp. said it installed a new back-end system and process at its data centers to improve e-discovery processing of backup tapes. The new infrastructure, which Renew calls the eDiscovery Acceleration Platform, is based on a consolidated networked storage system (by Hitachi Data Systems/BlueArc Corp.) that eliminates the need to transfer media between separate banks of machines for each step of the tape indexing process. According to assistant vice president of product marketing Joe Garber, RenewData can now process up to 1 PB of "legacy data" stored on backup tapes for customers.
RenewData also shared its roadmap plans this week, including a plan to add live archive data processing into the same platform, support for structured data, and integration with the legal review software, Vestigate, which it acquired last year with the purchase of privately held Digital Mandate.
StoredIQ adds early case assessment with Analyze Anywhere
StoredIQ Inc. is adding a module to its Intelligent Information Management (IIM) data classification software framework that will perform in-place identification of data for legal review. The module, called Analyze Anywhere, offers a workflow for legal users to conduct an initial identification of relevant data for collection and first-pass legal review, rather than requiring data to be collected and migrated to an archive before early case assessment could be performed.
StoredIQ is continuing a trend of e-discovery vendors looking to broaden their reach across the eDiscovery Reference Model (EDRM) of late, which also includes Clearwell Systems Inc., EMC Corp.'s Kazeon and Recommind Inc.
