System in planing

Needless to say, all newly developed enterprise infrastructures dealing with electronically stored information must be designed eDiscovery compliant from the beginning. One of the good ways to deeply integrate FRCP requirements into a system being planned is th use of Solid File System (SolFS). This software component makes possible creation of huge encrypted distributed data storages with support of metadata, tags, timestamping, access rules, strong encryption, etc. The benefit of SolFS-based storages can be briefly outlined as following:

  1. Excellent document organization is certainly a benefit of a SolFS-storage. Regardless of a place where these documents are stored, the enterprise can be sure that they are not prone to loss, tempering/spoliation, inadvertent or intentional destruction.
  2. Built-in cryptographic protection of SolFS excludes unauthorized data access. The most efficient moder cryptographic algorithms may be used to not only encrypt/decrypt data, but also to timestamp them and allow integrity checks.
  3. Self-integrity checks is another extremely useful functionality of SolFS-based storages. Even if a media where the storage is located becomes physically damaged and unreadable through negligence or evidence spoilage effort, it will not result in loss of the whole storage. The damaged part can be reconstructed from the previous version of the storage. This effectively excludes situations similar to one that resulted in defendant's loss in Zabulake v. UBS Warburg case.
  4. To make access to your storage as regular files and folders from any application, you may utilize SolFS Driver Edition. It makes possible development of monitoring tools watching the changes made to files inside a SolFS storage and exporting them in any convenient format for eDiscovery investigation.
  5. Providing a whole integral storage to the investigators for on-site or off-site search is faster and cheaper than dealing with myriads of separate files, folders, database records, e-mails, instant messages and scattered other the whole system.
eDiscovery compliance of an enterprise can be significantly improved through implementation of efficient document storage, retrieval, indexing, and content search strategies. The efficient way to adopt an existing system is use of Callback File System developed by EldoS Corporation. On the stage of system design planning, it is natural to consider use of Solid File System Driver Edition by EldoS Corporation as a native data storage platform.
