Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL), which could be looking at any area to try and stoke sales, will be making available a digital forensics service that aims to cut down on the time it takes to inspect and audit digital evidence. In other words, it's becoming a computer hard drive examination and recovery service. Don't we already have those?
Yes, digital evidence proliferates in the digital age, and Dell's stated goal is to help close the delay gap between recovery of digital evidence and presentation of that evidence to help in criminal cases. Dell's service is different, though -- it will enable customers to manage their own forensics efforts with miniature data centers Dell will advise on and help build.
