Google Mini: A Useful Summary

May 31, 2008

The Star Online carried a good write up about the upgraded Google Mini and GSA Version 5.0. The Mini is a basic Google Search Appliance. The GSA comes in different “sizes”, each with different document capacities. The story “Google Search for Businesses” ran on May 30, 2008. The international date line confuses me about the past and future. Nevertheless, you will find the information useful. The article is here.

The key sentence in the write up for me was:

Organisations can set different levels of security for employees, such as giving managers more access to critical information while limiting lower staff access.

Search pundits have criticized Google’s approach to security. What’s evident is that with each release of these search appliances, Google is making changes to address users’ needs. The approach is incremental and evolutionary. Google is taking the long view of the enterprise market, not what’s in the next news release.
