Know what information you have, restore only the information you need:
- Tape Cataloging
- Media Restoration
- Data Migration
Tape Cataloging
Does your organization know what information is on all of its backup tapes? Can your IT group restore critical data from them within a few days for an eDiscovery or compliance audit? With the December 2006 amendment to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 26b Section 2b, chances are information on those tapes can no longer be claimed "not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost."
For most organizations, restoring data from backup media is an extremely expensive and time-consuming process that becomes a significant burden on IT resources, especially when the volume of information is large and needs to be turned around quickly. Just to gain access to information on backup media, IT must recreate the technical environment - including the same email system, hardware configuration, and version of backup software - that was used in the original backup process. Many IT departments simply may not possess the capabilities required to restore such data. The Autonomy ZANTAZ Media Cataloging service provides a snapshot of data available to discovery prior to any media restoration. Autonomy ZANTAZ experts scan and inventory storage media to create a "catalog" of its content, enabling the client to pick and choose the files to be restored. Often used to determine the scope of a project, this service helps inform the decision on which tapes contain data that might be relevant for electronic discovery purposes. Relevance can be determined by time frame, data type or the existence of a custodian.
Media Restoration
Restoring files from backup media is a time-consuming process that most customers find challenging to complete owing to resource constraints and tight dealines. Autonomy ZANTAZ fully removes this burden from the client - having invested millions of dollars in a state-of-the-art restoration infrastructure so that IT resources can be allocated to core line-of-business projects.
The Autonomy ZANTAZ team of restoration experts has a proven track record for rapid turn-around, responsiveness and complete adherence to chain of custody and data security requirements, processing over 150,000 tapes a year from a wide variety of current and legacy systems.
Autonomy ZANTAZ offers the unique capability of restoring data to a variety of locations including:
- ZANTAZ Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS) repository - on-site or hosted
- ZANTAZ Digital Safe repository - hosted
- Short-term Digital Safe repository - hosted
- Standard disk or storage device (ftp, CD/DVD)
The restoration of backup media to an Autonomy ZANTAZ location enables a team of investigators to conduct audits and eDiscovery immediately upon restoration, without the need to manage data transportation and loading into a new system, reducing costs and improving response times.
Proactive, forward-thinking companies will recognize the value of having all electronically stored information (ESI) available on a single platform capable of enforcing uniform records management and eDiscovery requirements across the full data set regardless of original source, file format or language. Autonomy ZANTAZ uses the IDOL technology platform to create an information index that uses complex digital patterns – that are independent of traditional silos created by source, fixed metadata, format and language. This results in a highly secure access methodology that is addressable by any IDOL enabled client – including the full suite of Autonomy ZANTAZ Electronic Data Discovery and compliance monitoring modules.
Data Migration
IT Managers are concerned with the rising cost of maintaining aging storage systems and the increasing risk of hardware failure in these systems. Do they maintain expensive service and maintenance contracts or should they migrate the information to a low-risk, cost-effective solution with unlimited capacity and scalability?
At the same time, in-house legal teams are concerned with the risk posed by disparate application of records management policies and the potential risk and cost of an audit or eDiscovery requirement across multiple storage and archive systems. They look to IT to provide a solution.
The Autonomy ZANTAZ family addresses each concern in a cost-effective manner, providing a complete package to migrate data from its current location to the Autonomy ZANTAZ consolidated archive. The Autonomy ZANTAZ hosted archive, available in Digital Safe and EAS On-Demand, offers the best long-term value by eliminating the cost and risk associated with aging storage devices and providing unlimited on-demand capacity for both legacy and live data archiving.
Migrated data is automatically:
- De-duplicated
- Indexed using IDOL technology
- Classified, and enriched with new or updated metadata
- Assigned a retention period in accordance with corporate policies
- Made available for audit and eDiscovery requests
The break-even point for a proactive media migration project can occur within the first year. This is achieved by eliminating ad-hoc migrations/restorations, administration, and backup costs, along with the termination of expensive service and maintenance contracts or repurposing of the legacy system hardware.
The Autonomy ZANTAZ family of Media Restoration Services is just one aspect of the Autonomy spectrum of proactive Information Risk Management products working together to provide a complete solution for your information management needs.
