ElasticSearch Support from Sematext
April 26, 2012
Sematext has achieved a first, PRWeb announces in “Sematext Int’l First to Offer ElasticSearch Tech Support.” The company already offers Tech Support for Apache projects Solr and Lucene. The press release explains:
“ElasticSearch is a highly scalable open-source search solution that is rapidly being adopted by enterprises world-wide. Over the last 12 months Sematext has witnessed an increase in demand for ElasticSearch and has helped a number of clients build ElasticSearch-based search solutions. Some of Sematext clients are using ElasticSearch on a truly massive scale, ingesting many millions of documents per day and serving hundreds of queries per second.”
The company responded to the growing need, and ElasticSearch Technical Support was born. Sematext founder Otis Gospedneti? stated that his company is in the best position to offer such support, having captured more ElasticSearch engagements (with huge data and query volumes) than anyone. The information gathered at Beyond Search suggests that Lucid Imagination’s Lucene/Solr is the most widely used at this time, however. Lucid offers comprehensive technical and engineer support services via full time staff and a number of partners around the world; for example, Lemur Consulting/Flax.
With many high-profile client organizations around the world, Sematext provides search and data analytics products based on a variety of open source projects. The company started out as Lucene Consulting in 2005, but branched into Solr-based services the very next year. They are proud to have never taken on debt or external funding.
ElasticSearch has been resource constrained. Hopefully the tie up with Sematext will smooth some rough edges. Support is important. Like most Lucene variant vendors, support and engineering services are needed.
