Case Study: TCDI (legal e-discovery provider) achieves on-demand scalability and lower IT overhead with NetApp Keystone (NetApp)

Helping customers navigate a sea of digital information

TCDI is a litigation-technology provider that ingests and indexes massive volumes of legal documents—over 6 billion image files—so clients can quickly search terabytes to petabytes of case data. Rapid, unpredictable spikes in demand and the operational burden of growing and managing storage threatened TCDI’s promise of fast turnaround for time-sensitive legal matters.

TCDI adopted NetApp Keystone’s pay-as-you-grow storage-as-a-service with NetApp all-flash systems and ONTAP data management, gaining on-demand capacity, burst allocation, and managed upgrades. The solution eliminated procurement and maintenance headaches, delivered features like deduplication and compression (up to ~60% data reduction), SnapVault backups that cut recovery times to as little as 72 hours, and simplified VMware integration—resulting in faster responsiveness, lower storage costs, and reduced backup labor.
