How to install Veritas eDiscovery Platform

• Step 1 — Prepare your environment: Confirm hardware, storage, and virtualization requirements, and ensure network accessibility between your data sources, indexing servers, and client workstations. Review security policies to define access controls, auditing, and data retention rules before installation begins.
• Step 2 — Acquire and apply the license: Obtain the on-premise subscription license through the Academic Licensing Program (ALP) and import the license key into the Veritas deployment portal. Validate that the license matches your intended scope, including 1 GB processing allocation and the 5-year term, to avoid interruptions after activation.
• Step 3 — Install core components: Deploy the Veritas eDiscovery Platform components in your data center per the official deployment guide. Configure the indexer, search engine, and data connectors to connect to email, file shares, repositories, and other custodians. Set up a secure database and storage topology that aligns with campus data governance policies.
• Step 4 — Ingest data and configure governance: Initiate data ingestion from campus email systems, collaboration platforms, and shared drives. Establish legal holds, retention policies, and data culling criteria. Create test cases to verify end-to-end workflows, ensuring that collection, processing, and search deliver expected results without compromising data integrity.
• Step 5 — Harden security and provide user access: Implement role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and audit trails. Define user groups for legal, IT, and academic researchers, and configure permissions to restrict sensitive data to authorized personnel. Validate backup and disaster recovery plans, and document operational procedures to support ongoing maintenance and user training.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does 1 GB Processing mean? A: The 1 GB processing specification refers to the initial processing capacity allocated for ingesting, indexing, and preparing data for search and analysis. It helps determine how quickly data sources can be prepared for discovery workflows. As academic workloads evolve, you can plan for incremental processing needs within the 1 GB baseline or coordinate additional capacity with Veritas support according to your license agreement.
• Q: How long does the 5-year license last? A: The license is valid for five years from the date of activation. This term provides stable licensing for multi-year research programs, clinics, and courses. After the term ends, institutions typically review renewal options, potentially adjusting capacity, features, and terms to fit current needs and funding cycles.
• Q: Does Essential Support cover software updates? A: Yes. Essential Support typically includes access to software updates, security patches, and technical assistance for defined response times. It ensures you stay current with platform improvements and remain protected against known vulnerabilities while maintaining compliance with institutional governance standards.
• Q: Can this be used in a classroom or lab setting? A: Absolutely. The Academic Licensing Program (ALP) is designed for educational environments. It supports teaching clinics, student projects, and research collaborations, enabling faculty and students to leverage enterprise-grade eDiscovery tools in a controlled, compliant manner within classroom and lab contexts.
• Q: Is there flexibility to scale processing or add features over time? A: Yes. On-premise deployments typically allow scaling through hardware expansion and configuration changes. If your academic programs grow or funding increases, you can coordinate with Veritas to adjust licenses, processing capacity, and optional features to meet evolving discovery requirements while maintaining governance standards.
