No digital forensics solution is complete without a scalable, secure, and
comprehensive archive and retrieval component. Your Dell Digital Forensics
Solution offers that and more. In the Dell Solution framework, we have tried to
create a simple interface that works with all forensics applications to control the
life cycle of the evidence and case files. Due to the fact that it is difficult to
predict when data might be needed in the future or how long an investigation
may last, we have created a flexible solution that requires the individual
forensics analyst to determine the files he will recall and archive. This solution
uses a tiered approach to storage tailored to your needs--a mix of SATA and
SAS hardware--and user-driven archiving using NTP’s On-Demand Archiving
software.
Dell’s Solution consists of modular components that provide a scalable
environment that can be expanded to meet growing demands for processing and
storage requirements. The Solution’s formalized backup, recovery, and
archiving (BURA) infrastructure helps optimize cooperation between agencies
and forces, and across borders. It frees up administrative burdens by automating
much of the task of backing up data, provides consistency between interagency
labs, and minimizes risks to the digital chain of custody.
