Case Study: viaForensics achieves scalable, secure backup and disaster recovery for massive forensic data with NexentaStor (Nexenta)
A Nexenta Case Study
Viaforensics - Customer Case Study
viaForensics is a digital forensics, security, and e-discovery firm specializing in computer and mobile forensics for corporations, law firms, and government agencies. Rapid growth in evidence data—large disk images from 8 GB to 1 TB—exposed limitations in legacy storage: poor scalability, limited accessibility, risks to data integrity, and the need for a reliable disaster-recovery solution.
viaForensics deployed NexentaStor with the VMDC plug-in and a 10 Gb network to host its Digital Vault over NFS and iSCSI, leveraging ZFS-based integrity, deduplication, compression, VMware certification, and Auto‑Sync replication. The result: secure, scalable support for very large files, simultaneous multi-client access, reliable backup and recovery, lower overall costs and footprint, and the flexibility to expand storage as needs grow.
