Cloud-based Tape Discovery

Key Benefits

  • Affordable. Cost effective access to backup tape content.
  • Easy. Eliminate complexity when collecting ESI from tape.
  • Predictable. Take the guess work out of pricing for collection of ESI from tape.
  • Fast. Rapid turn-around times, data can be available for identification in the cloud quickly.
  • Convenient. Index Engines automated technology streamlines collection of ESI from backup tapes, without the purchase of hardware or software.
  • Secure. Forensically sound ESI collection as the data is extracted from tape using bit-level processing.
  • Defensible. Patented technology does not modify or tamper with the data during collection from tape.

Typical Cloud Discovery Process

  • Tapes are delivered to Sententia Discovery’s Secure Facility.
  • Tapes are logged and secured in the processing lab.
  • Tapes are catalogued and fully indexed.
  • Content of tape is available for review.
  • Users search and identify relevant content with remote access to one of our search and analysis tools.
  • Once the desired file set is identified, it is tagged for extraction.
  • Our professionals extract the tagged ESI from tape. ESI is delivered to or exposed to the user for download.
  • Index of data can be hosted in the cloud for the duration of the project, or archived offline for future access.

Tape data recovery:

  • Once we have the tapes in our data centre, we offer web-based capability to catalogue, search and extract data from most types of backup tape types and backup software.
  • Most media types – We can work with most tape types / series including 4mm, 8mm, DDS, DLT, Exabyte, QIC, DAT, LTO
  • Recovery – we offer limited data recovery from damaged tapes
  • Backup software – we can work with most commonly encountered backup software

Uses:

  • Retire backup software – maintain search capability for with no need to maintain licenses for rarely used backup and archiving software
  • Discovery – for investigation, litigation and regulatory matters, enterprise information can be retrieved with forensic rigour
  • Converting tape to Virtual Tape
  • Retiring and remediating data.

What makes us different?

  • Price – invariably we offer a compelling business case, which is supported by fewer steps and less handling
  • Speed – our solutions are faster than anything else we’ve seen on the market
  • Accessibility / Self Service – we allow you to work with tape catalogue information and media indexes, choosing what to restore
  • Flexibility – Our search interface allows staged project management so that tapes data can be searched as project needs evolve
  • Functionality – we offer a full range of discovery workflow, search and analytics technology which makes it possible to work with data beyond the extraction process.
