Google and NASA Drawing Closer
December 24, 2010
It seems that Google has found itself working hand in hand with NASA. NASA researchers lean heavily on both internal and external digital databases for answers. According to the Bitpipe Search Data Management E-book “NASA and Google Tackle a Major Enterprise Search Project,” NASA has developed a deal to purchase the Google Search Appliance in order to simplify their search process. This article is sponsored by the Google Search Enterprise so it makes sure the system shines. Google Search Appliance could possibly be a valuable asset.
NASA could “give users the option to easily toggle back and forth between internal and external search results.” However without addressing key issues such as the lack of a formalized security system, viable technical support as well as how the system will work with other programs within the enterprise the report comes off a little one sided. It sounds like someone is tooting their own horn.
Be sure to check out my analysis of the US General Services Administration prices for the GB-7007. That for-fee column should be running in the January 2011 issue of KMWorld Magazine. Pretty interesting data.
