Processing™ Now Available as an Appliance and Managed Service
Roll the Appliance In and Begin Culling and Deduplicating
Massive Amounts of Data
Within an Hour
Santa Clara, Calif. – August 25, 2008 – MetaLINCS,
a Seagate Technology (NYSE:STX) company, and leader in intelligent, enterprise-class
E-Discovery technology, today announced MetaLINCS First
Pass Processing™ available
as an appliance and managed service at the International Legal Technology Association
(ILTA) conference in Dallas, TX. The new offerings joins a rapidly growing
set of MetaLINCS E-Discovery options for customers to use to accomplish both
initial culling and deduplication of electronically stored data as well as
advanced processing, review, analysis and production. Fast, thorough and economical,
MetaLINCS First Pass Processing is able to handle the culling and deduplication
of terabytes of data while simultaneously preparing the data for future analysis,
review and production.
MetaLINCS is promoting the First Pass Processing managed service by
offering 50 GB of raw data processed for free for the first 50 law firms, corporations
and regulatory agencies who sign up at the MetaLINCS booth # 516 at the ILTA
conference. All free processing must occur within 60 days of the contract date.
"MetaLINCS First Pass Processing gives customers the ultimate flexibility
in how they handle their initial reduction of electronically stored data. The
appliance version is ideal for IT departments in that you can simply roll
it in and have the appliance processing within an hour. The managed services
option provides a convenient and efficient way to handle peak workload,"
commented Ramon Nuñez, president of the MetaLINCS business unit of Seagate
Services.
Based on MetaLINCS world leading content analyses technology, First Pass Processing
accurately culls and fully deduplicates all data including attachments within
emails reducing the total amount by up to 80%. Automatic culling criteria blocks
executable file types and system files in the NIST database, and further culling
can be done with easy to run scripts that remove documents based on keywords
and other search criteria. MetaLINCS world class concept analysis technology
can be further applied to the data to analyze it by concepts, people, threads
and topic clusters. When the customer is finished culling unneeded documents,
the remaining relevant subset can be exported to a review tool of the customer’s
choice, sent to MetaLINCS for hosted review, or the customer can obtain an upgrade
license key, leave the data in the First Pass Processing appliance, and begin
flagging the data and preparing it for review.

the dataset to the greatest degree possible prior to full processing and
review.
