Digital Evidence

Storing digital evidence requires a solution that is cost effective, secure, scalable and accommodates long-term preservation of digital evidence.

Overview

Digital evidence for police departments and court systems – from sources such as, videos, computers, mobile phones, documents, and any internet-connected device – is growing exponentially. Spectra provides a low-cost solution to store digital evidence. Evidence is archived for long-term retention inits native format, and active data is backed up on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis. Multiple copies of archive and backup data can be made to ensure data is available when needed.

Key Considerations

  • Digital evidence must be archived in native format
  • Access to archived evidence must be restricted and only accessible to authorized investigators
  • Requires a solution that is simple to use, cost effective and scalable
  • Regulations and corporate policies mandate retention policies of digital evidence
  • Digital evidence can be stored in a separate location for disaster recovery
