Installing CloudNine LAW > General Overview

LAW is an on premise eDiscovery processing platform. Currently there are two import engines. The LAW Turbo multi-threaded engine and the classic ED Loader single threaded engine. Both are Windows based applications and can be installed on any supported instance of Windows.

LAW works within a LAN (Local Area Network) environment. This environment can be within one workstation (typically called an all-in-one) or a large network of servers.

The standard build out would be

•Database Server – This is the primary SQL server. This server will host all LAW databases which are cases created from LAW.

•License Server – LAW accesses a Licenses Manger to check licenses in and out. This licenses manager can be its own server or you can use your SQL server.

•Workstation server(s) – The LAW application software is installed on these server. MS Office or other native applications may also be installed for additional productions capabilities.

•Network Storage – You network storage will house two parts of data: the Source data and the Case data commonly call the Case Shell.

For LAW to work, the account that it is set up on must have full read/write/modify permissions to SQL, the workstations, and network storage (source data and case data).

The user also needs full read/write/modify permissions to the workstation, and network storage (source data and case data)
