TIERS Vault
Evidence Storage & Servers
Expandable evidence storage, processing servers, high-speed network storage, backup, and recovery infrastructure designed for forensic and data-intensive teams.
TIERS Vault
Evidence and data infrastructure designed for capacity, throughput, and recovery
Forensic and data-intensive teams can outgrow ad hoc external drives quickly. TIERS designs storage around active processing, retained evidence, network throughput, redundancy, backup, expansion, security, and the actual recovery objective.
Evidence Storage
Expandable storage pools for case data and retained evidence with capacity planning, encryption, permissions, monitoring, and documented configuration.
Processing Storage
High-speed Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) and solid-state drive (SSD) tiers for active case processing, cache, scratch, indexes, exports, and other performance-sensitive data.
Network Storage
10/25-gigabit Ethernet (10GbE/25GbE) options and Server Message Block or Network File System protocols (SMB/NFS), as appropriate, with segmentation, access controls, and throughput sized around the forensic or production workflow.
Backup & Recovery
Secondary copies, offline or immutable options, snapshots, recovery planning, and restore testing can be incorporated into the design.
Processing Servers
CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, and networking can be combined for centralized evidence processing, automation, or team workflows.
Expansion Planning
Drive bays, controllers, networking, power, rack space, spare strategy, and replacement cycles are considered before delivery.
Storage is not a backup strategy
Availability, evidence retention, and recovery are separate design questions
Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) or Zettabyte File System (ZFS) redundancy can improve availability, but it does not replace a separate backup and recovery plan. TIERS Group can design distinct active, retained, backup, and offline/immutable tiers based on the client's risk and retention requirements.
Planning factors
- Usable capacity and growth rate
- Active vs retained evidence
- Required read/write throughput
- Recovery time and recovery point objectives
- Encryption and access control
- On-premises vs hybrid backup
- Rack, power, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and environmental constraints
