eDiscovery Search and Collection in the Cloud



http://ow.ly/a67Bm

An article by John Patzakis on the eDiscovery Law and Tech blog.

This article discusses certain issues related to eDiscovery processes that involve data which is based in cloud computing infrastructures.

The article states, "According to a recent PwC report, Cloud IaaS will account for 30% of IT expenditures by 2014. IaaS currently provides the means for organizations to aggressively store and virtualize their enterprise data and software, thus potentially spawning the same large data volumes and requiring the same critical search and eDiscovery requirements as traditional enterprise environments. Amazon Web Services, the leading IaaS cloud provider, reports in our discussions with them extensive customer eDiscovery requirements that are currently addressed by inefficient and manual means. So for purposes of this discussion, IaaS, which is essentially cloud for the enterprise and where there is a current significant eDiscovery challenge, is what we will focus on."  The article promises to provide further information about how to process data that resides in the cloud, without the need for a time consuming export process.
