Forensic Recovery of Evidence Center is a fully configured, private cloud, for Forensic Storage. Centralized Storage, centralized administration, centralized security, and centralized backup. All the things that made REAL file servers great – all in a platform fast enough to make it worthwhile! Unlike other generic “IT-Centric” network solutions, the FREDC has been designed from the ground up to be fast and reliable for direct forensic imaging and processing to/from the server itself. While other solutions require secondary copies to network storage, the FREDC systems have been designed for the direct ingest and processing of data. No need for closets full of old hard drives or massive amounts of local workstation storage.
FREDC
10GB Ethernet Network (10GBase-T) for Compatibility
10GBase-T Network Infrastructure is backwardly compatible with Standard Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces and Cables. Use Cat6A cables and 10GBase-T adapters for 10G speeds. Connect legacy Gigabit devices using standard Cat5e cables and Interfaces. Even legacy Gigabit workstations can achieve forensic imaging speeds of up to 6.6 GB/Min using this network! Use what you have now and upgrade your connectivity as you move forward!
Dedicated, Direct Attached, Expandable, High Speed Storage for Forensic Images/Data/Casework
The smart, 16 Bay, RAID-6, SAS attached storage modules provide high speed storage in 160TB increments. Start with 160TB now and add more storage as demands increase!
Preconfigured for Full TCP/IP Functionality
A full suite of TCP/IP services (DHCP, DNS, HTTP, NTP, XDMCP) is preconfigured and ready to go. No external network services are required. Our Training and Documentation ensure easy management of these services.
Preconfigured for full SMB (Windows Network) Functionality
Windows client SMB Services (via SAMBA) are fully preconfigured and deployed. Share names have been defined and network permissions established. SMB Services are custom tuned for optimum performance, security, reliability, ease of access and management.
Integrated Backup/Archive Software and Hardware
A 16-Tape Robotic Tape Library and Enterprise-class software is included with each system. Fifteen Ultrium-6 Tapes (6.25TB Compressed/2.5 TB Native capacity per tape) are included. We even include a cleaning cartridge! The Enterprise-class Backup and Archive software has been pre-installed and configured. Training is provided on the use of the software with special focus on suggested methods to protect and archive your forensic case work.
Preconfigured for Hardware Remote Access and Control (IPKVM)
A muiti-port IPKVM is integrated into the Data Center which provides hardware access and control of any system in the rack. Since the IPKVM is a hardware solution, it does not require any software to be installed on the systems in the rack. Any system in the forensic network can control any device in the rack (Server, FRED-RM or other modules) all the way down to CMOS configuration. Workstations connecting to the IPKVM over the network simply require a browser with Java support.
Preconfigured for Software Remote Access and Control (X-Windows, VNC)
While hardware based remote access is extremely flexible, software based remote access provides speed and efficiency. X-Windows is fully configured on the Server for remote desktop access. We even include a site license to run X-Windows on your Windows workstations. Connect and manage the FREDC server using native X-Windows capability. VNC software is also included so you can connect and control the FRED-RM workstation(s) in the rack. Our diskless boot environment even includes integrated VNC access for remote control!
Integrated Power Protection for all hardware in the rack (UPS)
Our baseline systems only require a single 30 AMP, 120V connection to power the entire rack. The Data Center comes complete with a 3000 VA integrated Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for electrical protection. Additional UPS modules can easily be added for Data Center options which require additional power capacity.
