Agarwalla of Uchida Spectrum Discusses Open Source Search
April 28, 2011
If you are tracking the maturation of open source search, you will want to read the exclusive interview with Rahul Agarwalla of Uchida Spectrum. Uchida Spectrum provides products and services in enterprise search and content processing. Mr. Agarwalla has built a number of successful Internet businesses. In addition, he is an expert in Fast ESP and other search systems, including Lucene/Solr.
He said:
Uchida Spectrum is one the leaders in the Japan search market. It all started in 2002, when we saw opportunity at the intersection of software and information. That was the inspiration to launch the search business. Our product, SMART InSight, is a search application that integrates information from across the enterprise in easy–to-navigate cross department information chains, and adds visual summaries that add value through contextual metadata and analytics.
On the subject of his product SMART InSight he said:
Our product, SMART InSight, uses search to integrate and retrieve information — so scalability and reliability, at reasonable cost, are critical factors. Lucene/Solr has delivered this in spades. The amount of data we can index on a server and the ability to scale in a linear fashion are unmatched. For instance, in one project we found a 10x improvement due to lower cost of ownership combined with higher performance.
