LucidWorks Honored in CRN Big Data 100 List

April 18, 2013

The data-management pioneers at LucidWorks are receiving some well-earned recognition, we learn from “LucidWorks Named to Inaugural CRN Big Data 100” posted at the Wall Street Journal. The roster, the first in what is to be an annual list, highlights the very best of the many vendors flooding the big data field. The press release informs us:

“The inaugural list recognizes innovative technology vendors that offer products and services to help businesses manage ‘Big Data’ – the rapidly increasing volume, speed and variety of information being generated today. The list covers three categories: business analytics, data management, infrastructure and services. Vendors on this list are industry stalwarts leveraging their products and services to meet the Big Data challenge, as well as a wave of startups developing a new generation of products to help businesses address their Big Data needs.

“Since its launch in 2008, LucidWorks has redefined the way people search for information. The LucidWorks product suite consists of two development platforms: LucidWorks Search and LucidWorks Big Data. Users conducting searches powered by these platforms can uncover real-time insights from any data source, structured or unstructured, regardless of its location. The company’s rich portfolio of enterprise-grade solutions is based on the Apache Lucene/Solr open source technology.”

Hooray, open source! Part of why we love LucidWorks is their support of these community-built projects. Not only do their products enhance open source solutions instead of competing with them, the company directly contributes to the Apache Software Foundation.

LucidWorks (formerly Lucid Imagination) is the commercial company for Lucene search and its server Solr. The company crafts robust, scalable search solutions that make the most of this open source technology. LucidWorks prides itself on making open source search accessible and easy to learn. These search gurus are headquartered in Redwood City, CA.
