Just when you thought that everyone is getting out of the hardware and infrastructure offerings and headed for the clouds, FTI Consulting recently announced the launch of Ringtail QuickCull. QuickCull is an appliance (Dell Enterprise Server using Windows Virtualization Server) that, like the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform, aims to help organizations come down to earth and cull and analyze data on site to provide an early case assessment of information that may be responsive to litigation.
The FTI technology in QuickCull is not new. You may remember the name from an ealier announcement. It is presently used in FTI's hosting service. In Q4 2009, it will come to a theatre near you, in the QuickCull appliance, for the price of the box and a per gigabyte cost in data processing.
QuickCull is designed to deploy "out-of-the-box" and begin to index data, deduplicate it, and present it for early review. One box is capable of culling through and anaylzing 100 gigabytes of data per day -- additional units can accelerate that throughput. End point: Reviewers can search the indexed material using all the usual suspects, such as keyword and Boolean queries, as well as mark and tag documents and export them for further processing into FTI's Attenex Patterns or other platforms via the EDRM XML standard.
