Enterprise organizations generate large volumes of information every day – some of it valuable, but much of it becomes unessential over time. Discovering, storing and organizing the relevant information, allowing it to be leveraged in order to make more informed decisions, is a huge challenge. 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), Sarbanes-Oxley, and other recent regulations mandate how electronically stored information (ESI) such as contracts, spreadsheets and email are handled internally, and more importantly produced to the courts when required.  This is driving the need for a comprehensive IT Discovery solution.

The spread of data across desktops, networked servers, backup tapes and other various storage devices, adds to the complexity of the project. But when done thoroughly, with capable technology, enterprise IT discovery will alleviate much of the risk and expense corporations are shouldering from keeping so much unneeded data around. A comprehensive indexing process also enables the collection of relevant data in support of legal and records management initiatives.

Index Engines takes a fresh approach for discovery of all ESI in the enterprise. The Index Engines platform integrates high speed indexing into existing infrastructure that is non-invasive and highly efficient.  Terabytes of data on network file servers can be processed at unprecedented speeds – up to 1 Tb/hr/node.  Only Index Engines makes information locked away on historical backup tapes easily accessible - without the need to restore the content. Even data on user desktops, or contained in forensic images can be easily discovered and collected.  One platform seamlessly indexes, searches and separates the relevant content from the mass of enterprise data, regardless of location, format or age.

As Index Engines processes data, a searchable index is generated containing rich metadata and content for all common unstructured files and email.  This unified index contains information about data residing on backup tapes, networks and large storage file systems to allow for search, deduplication and extraction of unique content through a single interface.  The data is not copied during the indexing process, therefore the index footprint is remarkably small - only 4-8% of the original data size. No other solution has the depth and breadth of discovery across the enterprise. One Index Engine can index over a billion objects per system.

  • Direct indexing of unstructured files and email via NDMP and NSF/CIFS.  Indexing speeds of 1 TB/hour, many times faster than traditional indexing solutions, allow for rapid data processing and collection.

  • Ability to schedule incremental updates to ensure the index is always current.

  • Integration into existing Active Directory security environment controlling access to sensitive data.

  • Direct indexing of offline content at the speed of tape.  Supports all common tape drives including DLT, LTO, and tape libraries.

  • Direct indexing of data in popular backup formats including: Backup Exec, NetBackup, NetWorker, TSM, Commvault, UltraBac and ArcServe.  No need to have the backup software installed.

  • Indexes from various containers combined for a unified, deduplicated results set across online and offline content.

  • Full text and metadata indexing provides comprehensive search results for targeted collection.

  • “Internet like” query tools using Boolean, pattern and metadata search on network content to find and extract all relevant files and email.

  • Unique document signature generated at indexing for dynamic deduplication query capability. Returns only unique files when searching, eliminating duplicate files and email.

  • Dynamic classification of data based on query.  Execute a query and instantly generate a summary report based on the result set.

  • Comprehensive summary reports providing detailed information about the enterprise data assets in order to support storage optimization and data protection efforts
