U.S. Justice Department Approves Use of Predictive Coding on Case
Symantec Tom K | 30 May 2013 | 2 comments

As you may have seen, recently the U.S. Justice Department approved a request to use predictive coding eDiscovery software, to sort through documents in the merger of Anheuser-Busch InBev and Grupo Modelo. Typically, cases as large as these require legal counsel to sift through millions of electronic documents in search of relevant information—an endeavor that is not only time consuming, but extremely expensive.

But innovative eDiscovery software has now reached a level of sophistication whereby computers can be trained to hunt for concepts the same way human lawyers do.

In the Anheuser-Busch case, the opposing sides discovered hundreds of thousands of documents using eDiscovery software—and spent 50% less than they would have using traditional methods. (And when 50% equates to a few million dollars—it’s easily enough to turn the heads of government agencies, their IT departments, and their legal counsel.)

Having given predictive coding...

Vision 2013 just days away
TonySterling | 13 Apr 2013 | 3 comments

I am really looking forward to Vision this year.  For me it is a chance to see friends and colleagues from around the world.  There are quite a few good sessions this year I am looking forward to.

If you are around on Monday I highly recommend Patti's session.

IA B48 - Enterprise Vault Administrator’s Secrets

This session explores some of the lesser-known features and functions of Symantec Enterprise Vault and shares “secret tips” from administrators. Configuring multiple welcome messages, task-level Global Catalog binding, power database queries, and filtering spam from your journal archiving are just a few of the power tips!

One of the complaints I have heard in the path is...

Exchange Server on Trial at Symantec Vision – What?!!
IMG_Shawn | 19 Mar 2013 | 1 comment

Vision Las Vegas 2013 will offer a wonderful opportunity for you to catch up on all things Symantec. During the many breakout sessions, we will educate you on various aspects of the Symantec product portfolio, but for sheer entertainment AND education, you have to attend session 1A B27, “Exchange Server on trial for crimes against archiving and eDiscovery”, to be presented by the dynamic Symantec duo of Alex Brown and Shawn Aquino, whose “Hangover 2.5” breakout scored the highest ratings among all Vision Las Vegas 2012 sessions last year.

Why? Justice needs to be served.

Intended for IT administrators and IT managers considering the built-in archiving and eDiscovery capabilities of Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013, the session will highlight that these built-in capabilities are not good enough for most customers. Moreover, we feel Microsoft...

EV 10.0.3 Release now supports SharePoint 2013
dascott | 25 Jan 2013 | 0 comments

Enterprise Vault 10.0.3 was released on January 18, 2013 and in addition to many new enhancements for Exchange, it also adds support for SharePoint 2013. 

The Enterprise Vault team has focused a lot of attention on SharePoint in recent months as our customers are growing more aware of the need to manage SharePoint storage and to prepare for eDiscovery of this growing repository of content.  Our last release, EV 10.0.2, added the ability to capture social content including blogs, wikis, discussions boards and custom lists.  This was important for both eDiscovery and for storage optimization.

Capturing social content is a storage management perspective as it allows for the capture of important content prior to deleting a site.   Site proliferation is one of the biggest headaches for...

What A/V exclusions are needed for Clearwell ?
PJuster | 04 Oct 2012 | 1 comment

 

This can be quite a common question, you should exclude the following directories from your virus scan.

• d:\mysql

Note: If the mysql direcory is scanned, the anti-virus software is likely to quarantine or delete the files. The first symptom of this scenario is that your backups start failing.

• d:\mysql\temp

Note: If the mysql\temp direcory is scanned, the anti-virus software is likely to quarantine or delete the files. The first symptom of this scenario is that your backups start failing.

• d:\CW\<current_version>

Note: The following subfolder needs to be scanned:

d:\CW\<current_version>\scratch\temp\esadb\attCacheDir\

 You should scan the following directory

d:\CW\<current_version>\scratch\temp\esadb\attCacheDir\

Note this is the directory where documents are placed temporarily during native viewing or where files are cached and as such should be scanned...

Improved eDiscovery and Storage Efficiency Begins with Effective Archiving
IMG_Shawn | 06 Jul 2012 | 0 comments

Here’s an interesting dilemma: What would you rather do – get your teeth cleaned at the dentist, or process a search request for your in-house Legal team?

On Monday, June 11, Symantec conducted a survey on the exhibit show floor during Microsoft TechEd North America 2012 in Orlando, FL. There, over 100 qualified respondents were asked a total of 18 questions surrounding their use of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Exchange Online/Office 365.

Surprisingly – or maybe not – over a third of respondents would rather get their teeth cleaned at the dentist than process a search request on email for their in-house Legal team.

We learned from survey respondents that being able to search for archived and un-archived content within Exchange and beyond (45%) was one of their top eDiscovery goals. By indexing all information stored in the archive, Symantec...
