This paper describes an open implementation of the map'reduce processing model that outperforms traditional forensic computing techniques. The size of the average digital forensic Case is growing at the rate of 35% per year - from 83 GB in 2003 to 277 GB in 2007. The problem of scale is certainly not unique to digital forensics, but forensic researchers have been relatively slow to recognize and address the problem.
