Advanced Tape Discovery™

Enterprises routinely retain millions of electronic records including files and emails for legal discovery and regulatory compliance purposes. Failure to produce documents in the required manner can expose virtually every firm to lawsuits, fines, investigations and violations of privacy rules.

To comply with discovery requirements, organizations must be able to routinely access and produce relevant electronic evidence. This is a complex challenge due to the substantial volume of data residing in multiple formats and locations including servers, desktops, laptops, data centers, archives and even offline tapes.

Offline tapes can present the most difficult obstacle during the discovery process. For most organizations, the majority of data is often stored on offine tape media, yet this data is virtually inaccessible and unsearchable. Considerable manual effort is typically required to restore and search archival tapes. Older tapes can be even more problematic, often requiring the installation of historical versions of the backup software in order to restore, search and access the data.

ONSITE³'s Advanced Tape Discovery™ service has solved this problem. Our new eDiscovery process enables clients to locate relevant data stored on offline tape without having to recover the data first, even to the extent of being able to identify and extract individual messages from these tapes.

Reduce Costs and Minimize Risks

Powered by Index Engines patent-pending indexing technology, ONSITE³'s Advanced Tape Discovery™ service enables legal and audit teams to quickly assess the contents of offline tapes at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional tape restoration services. Advantages of this service include:

• Eliminates the need to restore tape contents in order to search them. Advanced Tape Discovery converts archival tape contents into a searchable repository without needing to install the original backup software. The tape contents are immediately searchable, both the full content and metadata
• Simplifies the restore process by returning query results with tape ID and file location. Users can indicate the files to restore in the query results window and then the system will automatically generate a request to ONSITE³ with all relevant information
• Reduces time and potential fines and penalties by providing high-speed indexing of offline data. ONSITE³ is able to process a multitude of tapes simultaneously, thus ensuring fast turnaround for the client
• Proactive indexing minimizes risks by delivering a comprehensive index including full content, file metadata, security and user attributes for all offline electronic records
