Catalyst Leverages Equinix for the Expansion of its Cloud-Based E-Discovery Service

Platform Equinix to serve growing needs of legal and multinational clients in Asia-Pacific

Tokyo and Hong Kong – July 12, 2011 –Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX, news, filings), a provider of global data center services, today announced that Catalyst Repository System, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based document repositories for e-discovery and other complex legal matters, has joined Platform Equinix™ in its International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in Tokyo (TY2). The expansion enables Catalyst to deliver high levels of performance and optimized customer experience to its growing base of legal clients in Tokyo and throughout the Asia-Pacific region. 

Delivered via a secure cloud infrastructure, Catalyst provides scalable multi-lingual document repositories for e-discovery and litigation support. Specializing in multi-language search and review, Catalyst has long supported international law firms and multinational corporations (MNCs) in matters involving complex “JCK” (Japanese, Chinese and Korean) data*.

*”JCK data” pertains to legal documents which are collected, processed and hosted using Catalyst’s platform.

As the amount of electronic information that needs to be accessed and maintained grows, many businesses are exploring new technologies to manage their complex litigation documentation needs. To manage and process these high volumes of data, Catalyst’s cloud-based document repositories leverage a flexible and scalable environment using best-of-breed, high availability infrastructure for performance and security.

“As our operations and the demand for litigation support in Tokyo and Asia-Pacific continue to expand, we need a dedicated deployment in Japan to deliver performance our customers expect,” said John Tredennick, Catalyst’s founder and CEO. “Japan provides exceptional connectivity between Asia and North America and has the strongest data protection laws in Asia-Pacific. Providing both high availability and physical security, Equinix’s data center is the ideal location for our clients’ data in Japan and throughout the region. Its global reach, coupled with bilingual support and local expertise, make our market expansion much easier.”

“Cloud customers like Catalyst leverage our network density to reach new markets, achieve lower latency and access the customer base within our data centers,” said Kei Furuta, managing director of Equinix in Japan. “Catalyst’s clients benefit from Equinix’s industry-leading security, operational procedures as well as the high availability of our Tokyo data centers.”
