Make Discovery Requests More Manageable

Imagine if you could find any piece of data in your enterprise at any time, regardless of whether it was in a searchable database, a random PDF file, or an aging legacy system. Imagine that a regulatory agency demanded that you retrieve an original document within 48 hours or face stiff penalties. There is no need to panic. With Content addressable storage (CAS) technology, all your data searchable and accessible, which allows you to quickly locate hard-to-find data stored “somewhere” in your network. 

CAS is a way to make discovery requests more manageable because a CAS system locates data by an array-assigned address, rather than by physical address or directory. Because the CAS device completely abstracts data from the hardware on which it resides, documents can be found based on content, rather than by storage location.

It’s the perfect storage solution for organizations where data accuracy is paramount. With CAS, every time a piece of data changes, it receives a new unique identifier. This capability ensures that users will be able to retrieve the data exactly the way it was stored in the system. Many legislative rulings, court procedure guidance, and compliance guidelines share one common element in that they all want data retrieved to be in its original format and unaltered.  CAS can potentially save your organization from costly penalties and legal proceedings because once the data is written there it cannot be changed.
CAS is perfect for highly regulated industries, law offices, and government agencies. Abtech’s engineers work with best-in-class CAS developers to help your organization:

• Meet new government compliance regulations that require data retrieval within 48 hours of request.
• Perform e-discovery for legal or internal reasons.
• Find legacy data to furnish details of old transactions or client accounts.
• Gather all available information on a particular topic to assist you in reporting, research or compliance issues.
