Why Hybrid Deployment Is the Future of Legal Tech Infrastructure

Hybrid deployment combines the advantages of on-premise eDiscovery solutions and cloud based eDiscovery software. It's flexible and customizable. It's also scalable and secure in equal measure, so you can rely on retaining both convenience and compliance.

CoreSite reports that 98% of IT experts either have adopted or plan to adopt a hybrid deployment model. Their AI workloads are also increasing, and organizations are sending these workloads to data centers more frequently. 45% of companies outsource generative AI apps to these centers; 47% outsource augmented AI applications.

Here, we'll discuss the benefits of hybrid deployment models for legal teams. Read on to learn how Reveal can help you make the most of these deployment strategies and keep your legal team on top of FOIA and subpoena eDiscovery requests.

What Is a Hybrid Deployment Model?

Traditionally, there are three types of data storage and deployment infrastructures for eDiscovery teams:

• Public clouds that host multiple businesses' information while securing them with authorized access features and MFA
• Private clouds that exclusively host information from your specific enterprise
• On-premise technology that you deploy and maintain on-site

Hybrid deployment combines the benefits of all these environments. You set up two or more of these deployment options and connect them together, allowing them to collaborate and power your data system. This makes it easy to manage data from a single location while still reaping the functionality benefits of every infrastructure type.

What Is a Primary Benefit of Hybrid Cloud Deployment?

Hybrid legal solutions are more flexible than any traditional infrastructure.

Hybrid technology lets your organization choose the right environment for each workload rather than trying to fit virtual square pegs into round holes. You can put sensitive applications that hold a lot of ESP in on-premise servers for more control. At the same time, scalable and high-performance analytics and AI applications can go on a public or private cloud.

Data security is also a priority of hybrid legal solutions. You get control over where you store sensitive data, making it easier to comply with US or EMEA industry regulations. Compliance with the EU's GDPR guidelines is also simple.

Some key security benefits of a hybrid infrastructure include:

• Unified management and access control
• Resilient infrastructures due to redundant data storage
• The same threat detection software across your on-premise and cloud environments
• Constant backups of all your data

Hybrid eDiscovery hosting also prioritizes scalability for growing enterprises. Beyond flexible workload organization, this is due to:

• Cost optimization due to cloud scaling
• Easy resource allocation because of easy workload movement
• On-demand resources that you can provision or de-provision instantly

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does RPD Help With eDiscovery Processes?

Our platform and its cutting-edge AI allow for law firm modernization at all steps of the eDiscovery process. When we integrate your data from on-premise hardware and cloud storage, you can gather relevant data quickly and efficiently. There's no need to sift through multiple deployment environments when the platform integrates them seamlessly into a single access point.

After that, you can use the application to send out legal hold notices. Custodians can hold data and prevent alteration from that single endpoint. They don't need to log onto both an on-prem server and multiple clouds, either.

From there, our AI technology makes review processes quicker and easier. You can normalize data easily with AI and generate easy-to-review summaries.

Everlaw reports that law firms can slash review times by up to 67% with AI tools, and that accuracy rates exceed benchmark metrics at 90% or higher. Clearly, deploying these review tools in hybrid data environments has a tangible impact on legal process efficiency!
