We’ve optimized migrations to public clouds to ensure cost-effective, scalable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As predicted by Forbes, 83% of enterprise workloads will be in \u201cthe cloud\u201d by year\u2019s end 2020, comprised of 20% private cloud, 22% hybrid cloud, and 41% public cloud. In forecasting and preparing for this critical transition, GeorgeJon has tested and optimized migrations of eDiscovery applications to public clouds to ensure a cost-effective, scalable, and performant solution that meets industry demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the leading eDiscovery solutions engineering provider, we embraced the challenge of benchmarking leading applications, placed in cloud environments, against our 15 years of proven best practices in on-prem Kits. The results were a bit surprising, to say the least, with our major discovery being that forklift migrations (copying an entire platform and dropping it into a cloud environment), appealing due to low planning and testing requirements, ultimately result in costly, issue-ridden, painful experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Processing Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first major issue we found occurred during benchmarking of data processing speeds. We tested a pair of the industry\u2019s leading applications and found that \u201cPremium\u201d storage was problematic. Running benchmarks from our standard on-premises Kit to a cloud instance with identical CPU and memory specs, running on the cloud provider\u2019s premium SSD, one app experienced a decrease of 31% in throughput per hour on ingestion-only testing. The other app experienced a 15% decrease in ingestion speed and a 45% increase in the time required for export operations. To state the obvious, this meaningful performance lag will have a negative impact on productivity and ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application-Specific Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In testing other application functions, we continually found patterns of performance degradation in imaging, exporting, and indexing, with 11%-29% increases in the time required to complete operations in the cloud. During our testing phase, we also ran a file creation process to mimic heavy data loading and imaging operations, emulating the most time-sensitive and mission-critical discovery processes. Our findings yielded a time increase of 23% compared to a parallel, on-premises solution. Once again, not an ideal situation for efficient workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost Ramifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to small \/ standalone projects in remote locations, cloud solutions can be cost-effective. However, for large deployments by hosting service providers, law firms, and enterprise users, architectural changes will be required to make cloud-based environments scalable and affordable. eDiscovery, like many industries, can take advantage of burstable, cost-effective VM\u2019s for most resources. However, eDiscovery requirements stray from industry norms when it comes to the robust storage, heavy SQL, and data processing required on a daily basis, none of which are cost-effective when directly deployed in leading cloud provider environments. Degraded performance from these core functions will make or break your application experience and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hybrid Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having seen the underwhelming performance offered by a forklift migration to a cloud environment, our crack engineering team took on the task of building a cost-effective, performant, cloud-based solution that would alleviate the shortcomings of leading cloud platforms. After developing a deep understanding of cloud provider capabilities and the related impact on eDiscovery infrastructure, we designed a forward-thinking solution that meshes proven, on-premises performance with cloud-based scalability and on-demand resources. The result is our revolutionary Kit-as-a-Service (KaaS) platform, uniting the best aspects of both models to deliver a cost-effective, endlessly scalable, secure and reliable solution for clients worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
