Microsoft Azure Team Certifies ZyLAB to Process and Analyze Data Stored on their Infrastructure
ZyLAB, a leading provider of eDiscovery and Intelligent Information Governance solutions, today announces that the Microsoft Azure Team has certified the software from ZyLAB to process, analyze and review data stored on their Cloud Computing Platform, Azure.
With this partnership, ZyLAB will become the first eDiscovery solution on the Azure Marketplace. Several ZyLAB customers already use ZyLAB eDiscovery software to process data from Exchange Online, SharePoint Online (SPO), and OneDrive for Business (OD4B) in Office 365 using the Azure Platform.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure created for building, deploying and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed and Microsoft partner hosted datacenters. ZyLAB’s products can be deployed as a virtual appliance within Microsoft Azure and then be used for client installations. Installation directly on the cloud platform eliminates the need to offload and upload data for eDiscovery or investigations.
Paul Easton, Managing Director at Global Colleague: “ZyLAB's ability to deploy in our Microsoft Azure infrastructure was an important factor in our decision to select ZyLAB as the preferred eDiscovery solution we offer to our clients. Running ZyLAB in Azure allows us to rapidly increase our processing power and storage, when needed, and decrease resources when they are not being used. This has enabled us to significantly decrease our clients’ e-discovery costs.”
Johannes Scholtes, Chief Strategy Officer of ZyLAB: “Since companies store more and more content in the cloud, the ability to conduct eDiscovery and investigative search on content residing in that cloud, from a cloud based application, is becoming a critical requirement for many organizations. It is not practical to bring down large volumes of data from the cloud to on-premises environments in cases of eDiscovery as this causes all kinds of bandwidth problems and only a tiny fraction of collected data is produced to 3rd parties after processing and review. It makes much more sense to implement the entire process in the cloud and bring only the final productions down on-premises”.
ZyLAB has evolved with this market trend to move corporate content to the cloud, and has been able to connect to all new cloud sources, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business in Microsoft Office 365 from the very beginning. Scholtes: “The ZyLAB architecture is a natural fit for private clouds and public cloud environments such as Azure and we are very proud to be certified to become the first eDiscovery vendor allowed on their platform.”
Scholtes: “Our VM architecture is making it very easy to install our software in Azure. We can do a full eDiscovery installation in the Microsoft cloud – including connections to several data sources in Azure such as Office 365 – in less than an hour.”
Adding additional nodes to a ZyLAB environment in Azure can be easily accomplished using virtual machine images. These images can be saved during initial deployment and can be used to increase processing capabilities. This allows customers to quickly and easily expand their eDiscovery footprint in Azure.
ZyLAB’s industry-leading, modular eDiscovery and information risk management solutions enable organizations to manage enterprise data in any format and language, to mitigate risk, reduce costs, investigate matters and improve business productivity.
ZyLAB’s products and services are used on an enterprise level by corporations, government agencies, courts, and law firms, as well as on specific projects for legal services, auditing, and accounting providers.
