SLAW post on Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Benefits and E-Discovery Implications is a mini primer on these new technologies and highlights considerations for this environment.
“Some questions that you can consider are:
- What types of data will you store in the cloud?
- Will you be encrypting the data?
- What will the cloud provider give you in regards to data protection, access, retention, security and logging?
- Where will the data be stored and can you specify the geographic location?
- Who can access the data?
- How will the data be returned and in what format? How long will it take and is there any charge?
- How does the provider deal with metadata and is it preserved?”
