iCONECT’s Flexible System Architecture: In-House or Cloud and Seamless Scaling
A flexible and robust system architecture is crucial in the world of eDiscovery, where the volume and complexity of data can be staggering. iCONECT, a leader in eDiscovery solutions, offers a versatile system architecture that can adapt to your needs. In this blog post, we’ll explore iCONECT’s system architecture, including the choice between in-house or cloud deployment and its unique scaling capabilities.
- In-House or Cloud-Based Deployment
iCONECT understands that different organizations have varying needs and preferences regarding deployment, their available staffing talent pool, and internal IT protocols. That’s why they offer the flexibility to run their platform in-house or through the cloud. Further, a system can be run independently with in-house resources or with the assistance of iCONECT Legal Service Providers (LSPs) or iCONECT NetworX consultants. This choice enables law firms, corporations, or government agencies to tailor the deployment to an organization’s existing infrastructure and resource availability.
- In-House Deployment: For organizations that prefer to maintain complete control over their data and infrastructure, in-house deployment is ideal. It allows organizations to install and manage iCONECT within their own environment, ensuring data security and compliance with internal policies, client mandates, or other specific requirements.
- Cloud-Based Deployment: Alternatively, if companies want to capitalize on the benefits of cloud computing, iCONECT can be seamlessly integrated into a cloud environment such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, AWS, or other cloud infrastructure providers. This approach offers scalability, accessibility, and reduced infrastructure management overhead, making it an attractive option for many organizations.
- Vendor Hosting: iCONECT’s worldwide network of LSPs can deliver both hosting and the technical services that may be required in a legal case, investigation, or data management project. LSPs provide services such as forensic collection, processing, translation, system setup, productions, and post-project archiving. This option is perfect for situations where a project is too large or complex for in-house staff or where a neutral party is required to host the data in a multi-party or class action case.
- Scaling with ‘Worker Architecture’
iCONECT’s unique ‘worker architecture’ is a game-changer in terms of scaling. Traditional eDiscovery platforms often face performance issues when dealing with project milestones, which may require additional infrastructure resources such as large redaction projects, PDF conversions, or complex productions. In other eDiscovery applications, these CPU-intensive processes can bog down a system and leave other users with lagging searches or other software operations. iCONECT tackles this challenge head-on by allowing administrators to increase the CPU count and apply it specifically to redactions, productions, or other operations within the iCONECT system.
The result? With isolated Workers, there’s no detrimental effect on other platform functions while CPU-intensive aspects of a project run. This level of scalability ensures that you can take on even the most demanding eDiscovery tasks with confidence.
In conclusion, iCONECT’s system architecture is designed with the user in mind, offering flexibility and scalability that can adapt to your organization’s unique needs. Whether you prefer an in-house or cloud-based deployment, iCONECT’s deployment optionality has you covered. When handling large redaction projects, iCONECT’s innovative ‘worker architecture’ ensures that performance remains top-notch, even in the face of data-intensive tasks.
With iCONECT, you’re not limited by your infrastructure or the scale of your eDiscovery projects. You can leverage a system architecture that aligns with your preferences and ensures that your eDiscovery processes run smoothly and efficiently, no matter the size or complexity of the data you’re dealing with.
