How much will this cost me? It depends...

At PRN Paralegals, we understand the importance of efficient and secure storage solutions for your documents. We would like to introduce you to our simple storage calculator, designed to assist you in estimating your cloud storage needs. Please note that the actual size of your files may vary depending on the specific contents of each scanned page. Factors such as the amount of text, images, and formatting can influence file sizes. Our calculator, therefore, serves as a practical guide to help you approximate your storage requirements. Most importantly, it highlights just how affordable our cloud-based storage services are. With PRN Paralegals, you can confidently store your important documents, knowing that they are secure, easily accessible, and managed cost-effectively.

How it works...

We facilitate a seamless transition to XNS, a cloud storage solution that maintains the familiarity of popular services while introducing unprecedented security measures — a vital asset in handling sensitive legal data. For those with a need for archival storage, our trained staff will scan your paper files and securely store them for the requisite period mandated by the rules of professional conduct in your jurisdiction. Your digital and archival data are encrypted on your end and stored in compliance with your specified preferences, leveraging smart contract technology for enhanced safety. This robust security framework not only safeguards against unauthorized access but also offers easy retrieval of your data, whether digital or physical, when needed. 

Why XNS is better:

When considering where to house the extremely confidential and sensitive data law firms handle daily, it is imperative to analyze the central functionalities and security protocols of different data centers critically.

Traditional data centers, the "other guys" listed above, typically operate large centralized facilities where customers upload their data to the nearest location. Although some may offer encryption in order to charge you an added fee, it is by no means the default option. These centers attempt to maintain data durability by distributing copies across various systems, thus depending heavily on the non-failure of two elements concurrently to safeguard the information. Despite their claims of high durability rates, they remain vulnerable to a dual-facility breakdown.

Conversely, the XNS infrastructure leveraged by PRN Paralegals, employs a state of the art security protocol that immediately encrypts customer data, right from the onset, offering a fortress for confidential client materials and work product — a critical requirement for law firms. A second process of erasure coding, which divides the data into different portions for secure storage occurs thereafter, enhancing both speed and reliability of the upload to the XNS distributed datacenter. Data uploads are meticulously segregated into 120 pieces rows, necessitating only 80 for a secure retrieval, and are constantly routed to the fastest data storage providers, thus resulting in the data being encrypted, divided, and distributed to hundreds of storage providers for an iron-clad security framework.

By opting for XNS, legal establishments benefit from an amalgamation of heightened network speeds and unparalleled security, providing a bulwark against potential breaches and ensuring the utmost confidentiality for sensitive legal documents. The revolutionary approach to data storage not only ensures insane durability but also guarantees complete security, promoting a foolproof system that stands tall against conventional methods, and fulfilling the stringent requirements that legal firms necessitate.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the manner in which data is stored and accessed plays a pivotal role in determining the safety and accessibility of vital information. Here, we elucidate why a globally distributed data center like XNS stands head and shoulders above traditional centralized data centers:

Traditional Data Centers: Generally confined to two or three massive warehouses, these data centers, though well-established, are prone to localized risks such as power outages, natural disasters, or other unforeseen calamities. The concentration of data in limited physical locations inherently presents a vulnerability - a single targeted event could potentially jeopardize a substantial amount of data.

XNS Data Center: Operating on a globally distributed mesh of computer storage servers, XNS creates a robust and resilient network of storage points, hosted by a diverse group including individuals, businesses, and the customers themselves. This decentralized approach not only ensures data sovereignty for clients but also drastically reduces the risk associated with centralized storage systems.

Scenario Analysis:

Power Outages: In the case of a significant power failure affecting a region where a traditional data center is located, firms could face data inaccessibility for an extended period. In stark contrast, the XNS framework with its multiple nodes globally would remain unaffected, ensuring uninterrupted access to data, as other nodes from different regions would seamlessly take over, offering an unbroken service continuity.

Political Unrest or War: Regions experiencing political instability or armed conflicts pose a grave danger to data centers located therein. The XNS system, with its globally scattered nodes, insulates clients from such regional disturbances, redistributing the data workload to safer locations instantly and securing the data from potential loss.

Terrorist Threats: Traditional data centers could be potential targets for terrorist activities, given their centralized nature housing a wealth of data. The XNS network, with its diversified and dispersed framework, virtually eliminates this risk, providing a fortress of security against such threats by decentralizing the storage points, and thereby, diluting the target pool.

Overall, for firms valuing not only the security but the sovereignty and continuous accessibility of their data, the choice is clear. The XNS distributed datacenter, with its innovative approach to data storage and retrieval, hands control back to the customers, promising an infrastructure that is both resilient and adaptive to a myriad of challenges that could potentially cripple traditional data storage solutions. It is more than a data center; it is a safeguard for your firm's invaluable assets, securing them against unforeseen eventualities and offering peace of mind in an increasingly uncertain world.

In the dynamic landscape of data management and cloud storage, it is paramount that service providers offer not only secure but also rapid data transfer rates. PRN Paralegals is proud to steer forward in this sector with its revolutionary XNS cloud solution.

AWS Versus XNS: A Comparative Analysis 
While AWS, a veteran in the industry, can arguably manage a throughput slightly above 4 Gb/s at its peak performance, it is evidently not a match for the new player in the market, XNS. XNS doesn’t just compete; it leads with remarkable short-term peaks hovering around a groundbreaking 10 Gb/s, and sustains a performance gradient well above 9 Gb/s.

The XNS Advantage:
This incredible speed doesn't just mean quicker data transfers; it translates to enhanced productivity, facilitating rapid access to essential data when it matters the most. Moreover, the distinct capability to maintain high throughput rates ensures a seamless operational flow, optimizing time management significantly for legal professionals globally.

In an industry where every case is unique and demands distinct strategies and approaches, a one-size-fits-all solution simply doesn't suffice. Recognizing this, PRN Paralegals introduces XNS, a data storage solution characterized by versatility and adaptability.

Harnessing the Potential of High-Capacity CPUs:
XNS stands at the forefront, leveraging the power of high-capacity CPUs to offer quasi-linear scalability with an increasing number of workers. It ensures a seamless operation even as demand grows, promising an infrastructure that evolves with your needs.

Cutting Unnecessary Costs:
Traditional cloud solutions often rely heavily on expensive private direct connections, escalating the operational costs significantly. XNS breaks this norm by eliminating the necessity for such connections, ensuring a more affordable solution without compromising on the service quality.

Leveraging Regional Networking:
Further, XNS’s robust regional networking strategy facilitates dynamic growth, particularly in regions witnessing high demand. This strategy triumphs over the limitations of traditional providers that suffer due to a restricted regional presence, offering a versatile solution attuned to the global demands of today.

Use Case: Economical and Compliant Long-Term Storage of Closed Client Files

In the legal sector, safeguarding client files in compliance with state rules of professional conduct is not a choice but an obligation. These rules often dictate the maintenance of comprehensive client records for a period extending up to six years after the conclusion of representation.

Storing these files physically either within your office premises or in an external storage facility can drastically escalate costs and consume valuable space. On the digital front, while storage solutions offer convenience, they can also be expensive. For example, relying on AWS for storing countless terabytes of client data could weigh heavily on a law firm's budget over a six-year period.

Enter PRN Paralegals' dual solution: cloud storage powered by XNS and archival services. Consider a hypothetical: Law Firm A is currently tied to AWS for storing 10 terabytes of a closed client file and also has an on-site storage room filled with paper archives. Evaluating PRN Paralegals' offerings presents an eye-opening perspective.

Firstly, transitioning to PRN Paralegals' XNS cloud storage reduces the cost per terabyte significantly, resulting in long-term financial benefits that can be allocated to other growth areas. Secondly, by opting for our archival services, Law Firm A can transform its cluttered storage room into productive space for an additional attorney or paralegal, thereby boosting its operational capacity.

The dual offerings from PRN Paralegals come with:

1) Robust Security: Your client data is encrypted prior to storage, ensuring unauthorized access is virtually impossible.

2) Compliance Mastery: Our services are designed in conformity with legal standards, ensuring you meet the client data management requirements set by your jurisdiction.

3) Seamless Usability: The XNS cloud storage solution integrates effortlessly with your existing systems, making the transition smooth and user-friendly.

In summary, adopting PRN Paralegals' cloud and archival services does more than offer financial efficiency; it exemplifies a law firm's dedication to harnessing state-of-the-art technology for the secure, compliant storage of client data. Make the switch today and enter a new paradigm of client file management that is both secure and economical.
