National Police Agency Becomes a Processing Powerhouse with FTK® Lab

Some cases produce such massive amounts of data that they overwhelm existing equipment. One European police agency was able to produce astounding processing and indexing results with their distributed setup of FTK Lab. The agency configured one Distributed Processing Manager (DPM) to manage 11 Distributed Processing Engines (DPEs), thus distributing the processing power across 11 pieces of hardware for lightning-fast results.

 “FTK Lab has gone through the data like a wildfire and we are very happy about it.”
