eDiscovery: Mindseye and dtSearch Connect
June 1, 2011
We saw a couple of news items and a news release about the infusion of dtSearch by Mindseye for Tunnelvision.
Mindseye Solutions, developer of the e-discovery software Tunnelvision, announced recently two major releases coming over the next six weeks. 7th Space Interactive describes the version 2.9 Flexible Search in this way:
end users [will have] the ability to select which index and search technology will be used. This allows for selection of a fully configurable implementation of the well-known dtSearch technology and assists in creating consistency for downstream processes.
Readers of dtSearch’s product description know that the company asserts that its technology can instantly search terabytes of text across a desktop, network, or an Internet site.
dtSearch also offers versions of its systems which can be used to make content on DVDs searchable. Further, one of the new releases includes improvement in the utilization of Lotus Notes in exporting speed.
Mindseye suggests that the tie up with dtSearch will enhance eDiscovery.
We had heard that Iron Mountain’s acquisition of Mimosa used dtSearch technology. (Autonomy acquired some of Iron Mountain’s online asserts earlier this year.)
dtSearch may be poised for a broader thrust into eDiscovery on an original equipment manufacturing basis.

A SharePoint Diagnostic Tool from Microsoft
June 1, 2011
Microsoft released the SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit 2.0 in April 2011. Available in the maintenance download is SharePoint Diagnostic Studio 2010 (SPDiag 3.0) designed to make diagnosing SharePoint Server 2010 issues easier.
““The SharePoint Diagnostics Studio offers unprecedented depth surfacing every request, across every machine, remotely, with minimal permissions. This depth and usage allows the IT Professional or Developer to rapidly identity and isolate issues without requiring access to the physical hardware that supports the underlying environment.”
The SPDiag 3.0 collects Event and Diagnostic logs with information from the Usage database and presents it in a single view, graphical user interface. These reports address common issues, performance, availability, and other factors that will identify and isolate problems. Microsoft’s main goal with the Administration Toolkit 2.0 is to streamline troubleshooting and cut down on time used for repair. With hundreds of SharePoint solution technologies out there, Microsoft is finally taking charge of its own product. When Microsoft can’t cut it, turn to SurfRay for all of your SharePoint needs.
