The number of devices and volume of data in today's large NAS and archive environments makes finding a particular set of content very difficult for users and IT administrators, hampering their productivity and limiting their contributions to the bottom line. Executives and legal departments also benefit from search tools that incorporate elements of data discovery to bolster compliance practices and dramatically reduce the time and money invested in finding information relevant to lawsuits and regulatory demands. The Hitachi search solutions provide some of the most advanced search technology available with support for more than 80 languages and 200 file types across the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform, the Hitachi Content Archive Platform and NetApp devices.
By integrating search into the NAS and archive infrastructure, Hitachi Data Systems offer a unique search solution that can use the content of files to control the movement of data within the storage infrastructure. By using content search results to select files for migration, customers can create automated, intelligent, content aware data management policies to ensure that files are appropriately stored over their lifecycle. For example, a policy could be created to ensure that all .doc and .pdf files containing the word “budget” are stored in immutable, archive media instead of residing on less secure devices.
The robust growth of the Electronic Document Discovery business demands search technology to sift through vast amounts of data for information relevant to a compliance or legal action. Hitachi search solutions are proven accelerators that speed discovery of electronic information. As a performance leader, Hitachi NAS solutions allow customers to process, access, and review electronic evidence faster and more efficiently and couple with Hitachi search solutions to dramatically speed the indexing and search of large data sets.
“Through integrated data indexing, classification, and search technology, Hitachi File and Content Services can help enterprises drive out excessive costs, risks, and productivity loss associated with the rapid growth of unstructured content to tackle the challenges of electronic discovery, compliance, and data privacy. Organizations across the globe in every industry sector are under increasing pressure and scrutiny to maintain the integrity of their data. Hitachi File and Content Services ensure that sensitive, business critical, and confidential information is identified and managed—resulting in reduced liability and legal exposure, while delivering an immediate impact on business credibility. ESG Lab was quite impressed with Hitachi File and Content Services‘ integration of content-aware indexing, classification, search, reporting, and migration. The platform scales very well, supporting up to 10 terabytes per appliance while offering a clustering scheme that allows users to grow their file storage and search environments as needed.” –Enterprise Storage Group
