BlueArc and IPRO Strengthen AllianceIntroduction of new BlueArc Mercury 50 allows mid-sized law firms and corporations the ability to process ESI in-house using IPRO eCapture.
IPRO Tech, a leader in the design of scalable, easy to manage litigation support software as well as e-Discovery software, and BlueArc, a leading provider of high performance unified network storage systems to enterprise and data intensive markets, have strengthened their partnership. IPRO realized great success offering the BlueArc Titan storage system to customers, and is now pleased to provide solutions for BlueArc’s new mid-range Mercury Series storage servers.
BlueArc is a member of the IPRO Alliance Partner program, a venture that allows customers to benefit from a myriad of cutting-edge technology solutions. BlueArc’s new Mercury 50 provides outstanding storage and efficiency, low total cost-of-ownership (TCO) and tremendous productivity at a lower price point, making the product much more accessible to mid-market customers such as law firms, in-house counsel and Fortune 2000 companies.
“With the introduction of the Mercury platform family, BlueArc is able to offer mid-sized customers the industry-leading scalability and performance that the commercial HPC customers have been enjoying for years,” said Mike Gustafson, President and CEO of BlueArc.
The BlueArc Mercury is a premium, network storage platform for the mid-range that delivers:
• Consolidation of systems and applications in order to lower the TCO of storage infrastructures
• Simplified management of large, dynamic data sets to reduce administrative complexity
• A hardware accelerated file system enabling the highest performance and scalability of any product in its class
“The file system is at the heart of a storage solution’s ability to meet the demands of today’s data rates. BlueArc’s file system was designed from the ground up for scalability and optimized data movement,” added Gustafson. Research shows that end users are increasingly doing legal discovery in-house, and are most interested in the information management, identification, preservation and collection phases of the EDRM. Corporate counsel can now afford the IT necessary to run IPRO eCapture, the ideal in-house processing system.
Paramount in IPRO’s decision to partner with BlueArc is the speed with which the network storage system can be deployed for faster, more efficient IPRO e-Discovery performance. “With the advent of ESI, hardware components have assumed a pivotal role in litigation, where time is always a critical issue,” said Jim King, CEO of IPRO. “BlueArc enables IPRO customers to benefit from a low cost-per-gigabyte to process ESI through improved productivity and efficiency derived from high sustained data throughput with unequaled accuracy.”
King noted that BlueArc features an ideal combination – remarkable core file system architecture coupled with best-in-class platforms. “We are delighted to continue our partnership with BlueArc, and to offer our customers the highest quality products and services in the industry,” added King. “We see the introduction of the Mercury 50 as one more step in what we hope will be a long road of BlueArc – IPRO cooperative ventures.”
