Digital Forensics & Investigation Infrastructure Platforms
Design and deploy high-performance digital investigation platforms for evidence processing, analysis and long-term data management.
Proven in Digital Investigation
Selected by more than 60% of UK police forces.
VSPL designs the infrastructure behind digital investigation environments, working alongside leading forensic software providers to optimise compute, storage, networking, backup and archive for high-volume investigative workflows.
Modern digital forensics requires integrated, high-performance platforms designed specifically for investigative workloads, and tightly matched to the application demands.
Digital investigations are becoming more complex and data-intensive with:
-
Long-term evidence retention requirements
-
Increasing device complexity and data types
-
Backlogs in evidence processing
-
Performance limitations in infrastructure
-
Rapid growth in digital evidence volumes
-
Necessity for wider collaboration
VSPL architects the underlying infrastructure that powers modern digital investigations—combining high-performance compute, scalable storage and optimised data pipelines to accelerate forensic workflows.
Modern Approach to Digital Forensics Infrastructure
VSPL delivers end-to-end digital investigation platforms that integrate:
- Forensic workstations and compute clusters
- High-performance evidence storage platforms
- Scalable data processing pipelines
- Secure backup and long-term archive systems
- High-speed networking and infrastructure
- On-premises environments with approved cloud services.
Rather than deploying isolated components, we design fully integrated environments that optimise the performance of your forensic software and workflows.
Deploy reference architectures to accelerate your digital investigation ecosystem
How do you know that the forensic software selected is going to perform at its full potential? VSPL reference designs include infrastructure installed on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both. We work alongside leading forensic software platforms including Cellebrite, Exterro, OpenText and Magnet Forensics to ensure your infrastructure delivers maximum performance and scalability.

Why work with VSPL?
-
Solution design
We take an agnostic approach to IT infrastructure solution design, creating solutions unique to operational situations and in compliance with your overarching IT strategy.
-
Workflow optimisation
We'll discuss your objectives with you and then draw on our experience eliminating bottlenecks, creating an accredited workflow to accelerate the collection and processing of evidential and intelligence data.
-
System integration
We build and configure systems, and verify new technology in our lab before rolling out the platform. Our clients rely upon our 30 years' project-level expertise delivering transformational data-centric projects.
Helping Metropolitan Police protect and process evidence efficiently
"Simply, we were looking to acquire as much storage capacity, at the best price possible, and got the best deal with VSPL out of all the suppliers we approached. VSPL also had a good understanding of our workflow and proposed the most appropriate, not the most expensive, equipment to meet our needs. We have also enjoyed excellent after sales service."
