RenewData Retrieves Email Files Required for Multiple Matters and Ongoing Investigations


CHALLENGE: Confronted with multiple urgent matters and ongoing investigations, a world leading financial organization needed to retrieve emails and user files that were archived on WORM and other backup media. The organization was having difficulty retrieving the data from the WORM archives, which would often take months to produce each time data was required. In addition, the email archiving system had not worked correctly at times, resulting in large "blackout" time periods of missing archives.

 

SOLUTION: RenewData was consulted to retrieve data from the organization's email archive system, as well as from the backup system for the missing blackout periods. RenewData extracted 17 terabytes of data from the email archiving system using RenewData's ActiveVault Extraction Suite with non-native environment technology, which allows extraction of data directly from the backup media without recreating the original native hardware and software environment. The data was also de-duplicated and stored in RenewData's ActiveVault Preservation Manager using single-instance storage, which resulted in only 6 terabytes of data versus the previous 17 terabytes.

 

RESULTS: RenewData's technology enabled extraction of the organization's email and user file archives in days versus months and allowed for a fraction of the original data to be stored using ActiveVault's single-instance storage technology. The reduction in data also significantly reduced the cost of document production, as well as the time and costs of legal review. The organization is now able to efficiently leverage the data stored in the ActiveVault Preservation Manager to better prepare and respond to follow-on matters, as well as future investigations.
