Overview
Many organizations are still grappling with proactive litigation response planning and how to effectively place information on legal hold. While most have enacted some form of legal hold procedure, very few have extended that process to include the rigor and control required to execute across people, processes and technology.
CommVault® Simpana® software is one of the only true solutions to deliver federated legal hold across an organization to preserve all forms of relevant information when litigation is “reasonably anticipated.” Unlike traditional legal hold technologies which treat archives as a single entity and only tag messages located inside the archived storage pool, CommVault's legal hold feature searches and indentifies relevant data across both backups and archives, preserving data in all storage pools regardless of normal retention policies. This makes CommVault Simpana software the most comprehensive and risk-averse eDiscovery solution that exists today.
CommVault Federated Legal Hold
CommVault Simpana legal hold feature utilizes federated index and search technology that links globally to create a powerful eDiscovery model that enables the identification, review and preservation of information. All this is achieved across multiple clouds of data, with a singular search interface. The result-eDiscovery and legal hold from a single point of interaction within an organization, regardless of geographical or site boundary.
CommVault Simpana Federated Legal Hold solution enables ad-hoc or pre-defined search patterns that:
- Identify and Filter relevant results sets that are responsive and, as a result, are at risk and need to be preserved.
- Manage the review annotation and content classification of assets against defined legal matter categorizations.
- Manually or automatically promote classified assets to a legal hold policy and physically secured archive.
- Re-direct held content to either CommVault Simpana software’s review process, a specific case management technology (e.g. CaseCentral) or export for ingestion into an in-house litigation system.
