Nuix Gives its eDiscovery Platform a Power Boost and Releases Even-Faster Version 2.18 at LegalTech West Coast

Business Wire, June 24, 2009

LOS ANGELES -- Nuix, the leading eDiscovery technology available in the litigation support, corporate and regulatory industries worldwide, launches its most practical under-the-hood modifications with a serious power boost in Version 2.18 of its eDiscovery software at LegalTech West 2009 today in Los Angeles. Nuix’s software solutions are currently being used in over 18 countries in a scope of industries with a wide variety of clients. Version 2.18 augments its existing powerful eDiscovery platform with new features and functionality, making it even faster on the same minimal hardware footprint.

Stephen Stewart, Nuix’s chief technology officer, explained, “The biggest architectural change to Nuix’s eDiscovery software in 2.18 is our parallel export processing. Nuix software was designed to use all of a server’s processing power when processing data, and was very fast. Prior to 2.18, it could only leverage one processor for exporting. Now, with 2.18, users will see the same great hardware utilization during exports they have been seeing for processing and search. This same architecture allows us to not only scale on the physical device, but easily scale across any number of servers.”

Counting major litigation support vendors, consulting firms, systems integrators and enterprises as its market, Nuix has continually enhanced its products to meet the demands of the US and British legal systems and their electronic discovery requirements. However, new features like meta-data profiles, PDF previews, improved file sorting and a wider variety of output options that match all major legal formats, will be of benefit to all Nuix users.

Nuix chief executive officer Eddie Sheehy commented, “Nuix’s Version 2.18 processing system is the fastest and most comprehensive available in a single integrated platform. It allows the user to push data at rates of multiple terabytes per day – from processing through to review and production, radically driving down electronic discovery costs.”

Some organizations in highly regulated environments with strict communication policies in place are also using Nuix proactively for communication monitoring. Nuix wakes up a few minutes after midnight, indexes all the email generated during the last 24 hours and runs a series of automated searches, alerting managers to any issues of concern such as leaks or prohibited content.

Nuix has plans to give its software an even wider reach. It recently signed on as a Symantec partner under the Symantec Technology Enabled Program (STEP). Under this agreement, Nuix will adapt its Nuix eDiscovery platform to establish interoperability with Symantec’s Enterprise Vault solutions.

STEP facilitates unique partnerships with technology companies that want to establish interoperability with Symantec solutions. Partners have the opportunity to integrate and certify their products with Symantec technologies through standardized development and test procedures.

Nuix can scale to process any dataset, whether in the hundreds of millions to billions of documents, at a rate of multiple terabytes per day, exports to common legal formats and is fully double byte Unicode compliant, meaning it processes data in all languages. Nuix software’s analysis and investigative capabilities were developed in conjunction with military, regulatory and investigative agencies over a nine year period. Nuix is constantly evolving to meet the changing demands of its growing install base – from the data processing intensive litigation support provider, to corporate investigator looking for IP theft.
