Tier Data Without Disruption and Expand Ransomware Protection
An Analytics Approach to Legal Data Lifecycle Management
Most law firms struggle to manage uncontrolled growth of client-related data which attorneys are resistant to delete in the event a case will be reopened. Large law firms see an average 20% annual growth in storage for file related data, requiring the annual need to purchase additional top-tier storage capacity. Law firms have also been targeted by ransomware actors and other cybercriminals given the massive quantities of high value, confidential data they retain.
Be compliant, cut costs and keep users happy.
Insights from Komprise analysis can help law firms safely tier data, with flexible policies, to lower cost storage when a case has been closed. They can do this without worrying about it being difficult or time-consuming to recall files later when needed. Automated, continuous tiering of cold data to immutable storage is also a smart strategy for decreasing the active footprint for ransomware attacks.
We did extensive testing of Komprise, from accessing the files directly on the file shares to accessing them through the use of various applications and it was determined that there was no difference to the end-user experience, even with large litigation files.

Key Benefits for Law Firms
Cut Costs with Automated Policies
Komprise Intelligent Data Management delivers the capability to establish internal policies for different use cases, such as to tier cold data that hasn’t been touched in more than a year to second storage or by situation, such as when a case has been closed.
Transparent Tiering for Zero User Disruption
Komprise Transparent Move Technology (TMT) assures that applications and users experience no disruption from data movement. If data needs to be accessed again after it has been tiered to lower cost storage such as object storage in the cloud, the data appears to be in the same location as before. Users simply click on a Komprise Dynamic Link which seamlessly redirects to the new location.
Ransomware Protection in the Cloud
By tiering cold data to immutable cloud object storage, Komprise delivers a proactive security posture to thwart ransomware actors by preventing bad actors from accessing or making any changes to data and reducing the attack surface.
Accelerated Cloud & AI Journey
Komprise delivers a faster, lower risk journey to the cloud with its analytics-based approach to unstructured data management. This gives IT the insight to right-place data in the most cost-efficient storage for its current needs and easily move it to different tiers as it ages or as its value changes. Komprise Elastic Data Migration is 25 to 27x faster than common migration tools. Komprise Smart Data Workflows allows IT to create automated, policy-driven processes to find, tag and move data to AI platforms.
