Conclusions
We have demonstrated that by ensuring a rigorous protocol when importing SIPs into a distributed cluster we can provide a level of assurance in data transfer and storage. Additionally, by adopting the same approach as Hadoop we have created a prototype of a middleware specifically designed to address the assurance requirements required in the legal process while providing effective distributed processing. As to whether this does achieve an acceptable level we offer this design for further debate. It should be clear that this design draws upon knowledge from many domains and so there is no single criteria set that can be applied. Speed concerns Aprimary concernwith FClusterfs is speed but in practice this has not proven to be a significant problem. Firstly, file
