Routes to Market Study found a strong correlation between increased

expected revenue growth.
Dell Compellent Helps Law Services Firm
Become National Leader
D4 provides corporations and law firms with litigation support
through eDiscovery and computer forensic services, helping to
reduce the number of documents attorneys review, saving their
clients money. The firm, which is headquartered in Rochester, NY,
experienced significant growth, its data was doubling every 18
months and the company needed an enterprise storage solution that
could scale.
“We’re dealing with an explosion in the amount of data that
needs to be assessed in litigation,” says John Holland, CEO and
founder of D4, LLC. “Of every dollar spent in litigation, 70 to 80
percent is spent on document review. The D4 value proposition is to
reduce documents early. We get everything stored in a manner where
we can search it, analyze it, and use automated tools and
technology to winnow it down to the most responsive data set, so
the cost of attorney review is minimized.”
To address customer needs D4 chose Dell Compellent™ Storage
Center array for its automated tiering, replays and cost-efficient
scalability that would enable the company’s growth. D4 was able to
boost speed while enabling zero storage downtime. The firm’s new
ability to sift through data effectively has helped save the
company $250,000 and increase revenue by 30 to 40 percent a year to
become a national player in eDiscovery services.
Supported by its Compellent Storage Center, D4 has launched
eNtrust™, a managed service providing the in-house eDiscovery
capability clients want without the hassle and expense of having to
build, maintain and support their own systems.
“Instead of just sending us data, our clients could send us
virtual servers and we could give them disaster recovery
capabilities,” says Mike Boyle, system administrator at D4.
“Compellent gives us the ability to keep servers and data from
different clients on our SAN and separate them logically and
physically for security. We’re in a position to say to our clients
‘we are your cloud.’”
Dell Helps Growing Law Firm Strengthen
Reputation, Increases Serve Availability to 99.99
Percent
The Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman, P.C. is a growing law firm
specializing in real estate transactions. The firm is expanding
rapidly, and its legacy server hardware was struggling to keep up
with sudden growth in both clientele and staff.
“Our servers were frequently crashing,” said Aaron Katsman,
owner of The Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman, P.C. “We had to
reboot them every other day. We usually would reboot after business
hours, but it was still disruptive—and if we forgot to reboot, our
programs wouldn’t work well the next morning. The technical issues
became more than an annoyance. They were an obstacle to getting our
work done.”
To maintain excellence in customer service, the firm needed an
IT infrastructure that would allow them to scale with growth and
reduce downtime. Katsman Law turned to Dell partner, WorkITsafe, to
virtualize its servers and desktops using Windows Server® 2012
running on a 12G Dell PowerEdge™ server and a Dell PowerVault™
storage array. With these solutions in place, the firm was able to
spend 90 percent less time setting up a new user’s desktop.
Additionally, the stable systems improved employee productivity and
customer service, with 99.99 percent availability of virtual server
and virtual desktop infrastructure.
“We’re able to limit downtime, and all our employees can work
with less frustration because of the Dell-based infrastructure. Not
only do we have happier employees, we have happier clients as
well,” said Katsman.
