An article by John Patzakis posted on the Next Generation eDiscovery Law & Tech Blog.
This article discusses eDiscovery practices associated with cloud computing services.
The article states, "The cloud means many things to many people, but I believe the real eDiscovery action (and pain point) is in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud deployments (such as the Amazon cloud, Rackspace, or pure enterprise cloud providers such as Fujitsu). 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."
The article discusses the costly and time consuming processes that are presently involved with collection of electronically stored information from a cloud based computer system. The article promises to provide insight in future posts regarding a better method for handling eDiscovery obligations when the data is cloud based.
