LucidWorks Makes Big Data Better
July 25, 2013
LucidWorks made its name as an open source enterprise search value-added vendor built upon Apache Lucene Solr. However, in the last 18 months, much attention has shifted to the Big Data sector and LucidWorks Big Data solution. Mark Smith with Ventana Research gives his review of the product in his article, “Big Data Search is Getting Better with LucidWorks.”
He writes:
“LucidWorks has two product offerings in the search market. LucidWorks Search provides the ability to rapidly set up search and index content using Apache Solr. . . Solr, built on top of Lucene, is an enterprise platform that provides full-text search, dynamic clustering, geospatial search and other enterprise-class capabilities. Second, LucidWorks Big Data, which was released late last year, uses the compute and storage capabilities of Hadoop to support larger-scale deployments.”
LucidWorks is known for its commercial-grade support and services. Their design has improved Solr’s usability for business use, although Solr on its own is known as one of the strongest infrastructures for open source enterprises. LucidWorks is currently expanding, adding staff, and gearing up for the next advance in enterprise technology. Keep your eyes open.
