Dell ventures into Digital Forensics Service

in Tech Info

dell-computer-forensicWorld’s second largest personal computer manufacturer Dell Inc, launched a new service on Tuesday, which is designed to help law enforcement agencies, it’s a kind of initiative in the direction giving back to the society (corporate social responsibility) by helping law-enforcement agencies convict more criminals as digital evidence proliferates.

Digital Forensics Service

According to the company, Dell’s digital-forensics offering would help police reduce backlogs that can be as long as two years, as it would allow multiple analysts to work simultaneously on the same data, while preserving an audit trail of evidence handling. “Law enforcement agencies across the world have told us about the enormous challenges they face in analyzing huge volumes of data on seized digital devices,” Josh Claman, head of Dell’s European public-sector business, said in a statement. James Quarles, Dell’s head of public-sector marketing in Europe, told Reuters customers remotely accessing criminal evidence in parallel from Dell data centers could gain a crucial time advantage, for example when legally constrained as to how long they could hold terrorism suspects without evidence.

Business in Forensics

The company cited estimates by research firm IDC that the U.S. digital-forensics market would be worth $630 million this year, up from $252 million in 2004, while the international market would be worth $1.8 billion by 2011. Partners in Dell’s offering include data-storage gear maker EMC Corp, chipmaker Intel Corp, business-software maker Oracle Corp, security-software maker Symantec Corp and privately held digital-forensics specialist AccessData.

Dell will present the new service to Britain’s Association of Chief Police Officers on Tuesday.
