Digital Reef releases ECA application

Digital Reef has unveiled a new early case assessment (ECA) application with indexing and analysis speeds of more than 10 terabytes per day. Introduced with the Digital Reef Virtual Governance Warehouse 3.0, the new e-discovery application indexes and analyzes full content across e-mails, documents, repositories and more than 400 file types using industry standard servers and storage.

With the Virtual Governance Warehouse, organizations can simultaneously support additional information governance projects driven by legal and regulatory mandates and internal IT policies, the company says.
