Nuix Unveils eDiscovery SuperComputer | Business Wire

Nuix, a worldwide provider of eDiscovery and electronic investigation technology, has unveiled the world’s first eDiscovery SuperComputer, radically changing the way companies can manage their litigation and regulatory matters.

“The Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer gives companies undertaking ECA the ability to scale up internally for virtually any size case and it can be done in a day, whether it is a 2GB or a 2TB case.”

The Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer is an out-of-the box enterprise-grade system which can be taken on-site to enable law firms, litigation support firms, corporations, government agencies and other organizations to undertake fast and powerful early case assessments on both the smallest and largest cases.

It combines the highly advanced Nuix3 electronic discovery (eDiscovery) software with the latest in computer hardware to create the most powerful and portable eDiscovery processing, review and production system on the market.

A few of the key features of the SuperComputer include:

Fastest processing engine by an order of magnitude – over 2.5 TBs of data in a day, which is up to 50 times faster on average than competitors (and 2.5 times faster than Nuix’s June speed benchmark)

Able to host up to 25 concurrent reviewers while simultaneously processing data at 100GB per hour

Able to host over 200 concurrent reviewers when not processing

Intuitive and simple-to-use interface that is familiar to anyone who uses email

A single, portable server which enables litigation support personnel to process behind the corporate firewall

”Most organizations involved in litigation and compliance matters are very sensitive about sending great volumes of data out for processing,” commented Nuix CEO Eddie Sheehy. “The Nuix eDiscovery SuperComputer gives companies undertaking ECA the ability to scale up internally for virtually any size case and it can be done in a day, whether it is a 2GB or a 2TB case.”

Social Media Minute: Twitter Cracks Down on Spammers, Microsoft Trials Microblogging

Microsoft Developing Twitter Like Service Dubbed OfficeTalk

Microsoft is developing and testing a new microblogging service that will rival similar offerings including Twitter and the more business-friendly Yammer. Called OfficeTalk, the service is an on-premise utility (meaning it would live on a server inside a corporate firewall, much like SharePoint) that allows co-workers and teammates to swap messages of 140 characters or less.

Each user has their very own page which looks much like a Twitter user page with a personal image, title and brief bio. You can search for other users inside your company and subscribe to their messages. Also, users can view the “Company View” which shows all messages sent out throughout a company or organization. This feature might be noisy but could also spawn some fascinating conversations across business units inside the enterprise.

It's great to see Microsoft coming to the game with OfficeTalk. This functionality seems to be a natural extension to SharePoint and would inject some benefits of the “real-time web” into the enterprise environment.
