Case Study: Office of Police Integrity achieves secure, accessible forensic archiving with Caringo Swarm

Office of Police Integrity selects Caringo Swarm as Secure and Accessible Archive for Forensic Information

The Office of Police Integrity (OPI) in Victoria, Australia faced a challenge with its outdated system for archiving forensic information, which relied on DVDs and Magneto Optical drives. This method was difficult to scale and made accessing files a slow, manual process. They selected Caringo and its Swarm product to create a secure and accessible archive that could efficiently handle their growing data volumes.

Caringo Swarm provided a secure, multi-tenant archive that scaled easily, replacing OPI's physical media and leading to significant infrastructure consolidation. The solution reduced their server count from 19 to three and decreased energy costs by 30%. OPI also benefited from the data immutability Swarm provides, which is crucial for proving non-tampering of evidence in court.
