AUSTIN, TX. November 13, 2007 - StoredIQ, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class Intelligent Information Management solutions, today released a next generation portable eDiscovery appliance designed for StoredIQ’s eDiscovery Solution Partners to provide onsite data topology mapping, data collection and data filtering services with back-office eDiscovery processing performance.

"We often work on very time and content sensitive eDiscovery projects, and data often cannot leave the clients' site," said Bob Little, vice president of marketing at RenewData.  "When utilized by our team of eDiscovery experts, StoredIQ's new portable appliance can help save crucial time during these types of projects."

Key features of the new StoredIQ portable appliance include:

• Ruggedized construction allowing for constant travel.
• Two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors for back-office class performance.
• Six 750GB removable hard drives to facilitate high speed data collection to internal drives. The removable hard drives also allow for preservation of work product while allowing the portable appliance to be transported directly to the next engagement.
• Rolling production support allows eDiscovery teams performing large collections to output native files for attorney review as files are actively being harvested.
• Parallel workstation collection allows for multiple desktops, laptops and workstations to be collected simultaneously, reducing collection time. This new feature includes the ability to provide flow control capabilities to constrain the workload on a desktop, decreasing the likelihood a custodian will notice their desktop is being collected.
• Pre-collection preview allows legal professionals to verify the accuracy of the targeted data prior to collection or filtering or post-filtering prior to production.

“A portable eDiscovery appliance, such as the one from StoredIQ, is extremely beneficial when organizations have to respond quickly and produce all potentially relevant electronically stored information in preparation for a Rule 16 Scheduling Conference or a Rule 26(f) Meet and Confer,” says Vivian Tero, Senior Research Analyst of Compliance at IDC.

StoredIQ’s proven range of integrated application modules are specifically designed to meet the eDiscovery requirements of today’s enterprises maneuvering a highly litigious environment. StoredIQ Intelligent eDiscovery enables organizations to quickly respond to litigation and investigations, while StoredIQ eDiscovery Preparedness offers companies the ability to implement an eDiscovery strategy that significantly reduces the overall long-term risk and cost and positions them in a state of “litigation readiness.”  “With the FRCP amendments at the end of last year, and several high profile cases in the media that neglected to accurately produce information in a timely manner, we see more companies evaluating StoredIQ’s all-in-one proactive eDiscovery platform,” says Ursula Talley, vice president of marketing at StoredIQ.

Backed by StoredIQ’s revolutionary technology, companies can manage their electronic discovery projects far more effectively, reducing legal risk while saving collection, preservation and processing expense. StoredIQ customers are able to quickly and easily deploy the appliance in-house and crawl and collect active data on their network servers, storage systems and personal computers without disrupting end users. StoredIQ’s "intelligent collection" methodology identifies and collects the smallest legally defensible data set, helping organizations to not over-collect as they are trying to avoid the risk of spoliation or loss of good faith by the court. With much of the legal cost incurred during the legal review stage, StoredIQ’s intelligent collection technology significantly reduces that cost by culling through terabytes of electronically stored information and identifying the most accurate and complete set of relevant information to be reviewed and analyzed – all while maintaining a legally defensible audit trail.

StoredIQ is a leading provider of enterprise-class Intelligent Information Management solutions, enabling organizations to gain visibility and control over business-critical information to help meet their compliance, governance and legal discovery requirements. The company provides a range of integrated application modules: StoredIQ Intelligent eDiscovery for fast response to litigation and investigations, StoredIQ eDiscovery Preparedness for proactive “litigation readiness,” and StoredIQ Information Governance for information protection and risk management.
