Hitachi Data Discovery Suite
The Hitachi Data Discovery Suite simplifies e-discovery and improves the efficiency of identifying, searching, retaining and managing unstructured data across online, nearline and archive media. Users can search across multiple data silos—including e-mail archives and snapshots/versions from remote locations—from a single interface, according to their access privileges via Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP integration. The Hitachi Data Discovery Suite also provides advanced storage management tools, letting organizations use a flexible and extensible file metadata model to assign data to the most appropriate media—online, nearline or archive. This increases the overall storage environment efficiency with reduced backup times, faster retrievals and less duplication of data.

Roles, permissions and access rights are determined through Microsoft Advanced Directory integration. Once discovery is performed, Microsoft SharePoint can also download the discovered content if required in a consistent and uniform manner according to your company’s policies.
