Law Enforcement
Secure sensitive data and move it when necessary with QuantaStor.
Digital forensics is an area of fast data growth for law enforcement organizations that has a number of mission critical requirements. These key requirements can be summed up as high security, high scalability, and cost efficiency.
QuantaStor for Law Enforcement Key Features
High Availability
QuantaStor’s grid technology enables users to deploy a highly efficient business continuity solution for remote backup and disaster recovery (DR) either locally, across global datacenters, or in the cloud. QuantaStor utilizes snapshots and remote replication protocols to create a complete copy of the selected storage volumes and network shares from the primary to secondary DR site. Key features include remote and multi-directional replication, file protection with snapshots, and single console multi-site management.
Security and Encryption
To counter cyber threats and ensure compliance, QuantaStor includes end-to-end security coverage enabling multi-layer data protection “on the wire” and “at rest” for enterprise and cloud storage deployments. Combining protocol-level encryption with SMB, IPsec and HTTPS across any storage grid, hardware and software disk drive encryption with Intel AES-NI technology and advanced user security featuring role-based access controls, QuantaStor end-to-end security is ideal for any law enforcement use case. All management operations are audit logged in CEE format to ensure compliance with NIST security standards.
Cost-efficient
Hyperscalable
Digital forensics systems grow rapidly as data collection increases. QuantaStor helps make these costs controllable in two ways. First, QuantaStor is priced based on capacity with a sliding scale that reduces the cost per TB as the scale of a given deployment grows. This ensures a greater and greater price per TB as the solution grows and eliminates unexpected costs often associated with traditional systems. Second, QuantaStor is price adjusted each year to keep software subscription pricing in-line as a ratio to the hardware per TB pricing. This ensures that organizations are able to get the best hardware from the vendor of their choice with the knowledge that the combined software and hardware price will roughly align to give them the best solution at the best price for both new deployments and expansions every time.
QuantaStor scales horizontally as new storage servers and disk enclosures are added so that systems can scale to over 100PB per storage grid. We recommend using triple parity based data protection to ensure super high fault-tolerance and data recover-ability. In this configuration three out of every group of 12 devices can fail with zero downtime and zero data loss. QuantaStor also has bit-rot protection and auto correction which ensures that every bit of data is exactly the same as it was when written.
