Among experienced professionals working in the eDiscovery industry, from software developers to infrastructure engineers, it is commonly understood that eDiscovery operates in a niche, though prolific, space in the technology landscape. However, within this tight-knit community of experts, there is a vast difference of opinion regarding how to best deploy and leverage software/hardware resources (commonly called a technology stack) to deliver performant, cost-effective eDiscovery platforms.
One of the most polarizing debates relates to the use of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) versus Converged Infrastructure (CI, a.k.a. conventional/legacy hardware solutions) for the deployment of compute, network and storage resources.
