Lexmark Upgrades Its Enterprise Search

September 30, 2016

Enterprise search has taken a back a back seat to search news regarding Google’s next endeavor and what the next big thing is in big data.  Enterprise search may have taken a back seat in my news feed, but it is still a major component in enterprise systems.  You can even speculate that without a search function, enterprise systems are useless.

Lexmark, one of the largest suppliers of printers and business solutions in the country, understand the importance of enterprise search.  This is why they recently updated the description of its Perceptive Enterprise Search in its system’s technical specifications:

Perceptive Enterprise Search is a suite of enterprise applications that offer a choice of options for high performance search and mobile information access. The technical specifications in this document are specific to Perceptive Enterprise Search version 10.6…

A required amount of memory and disk space is provided. You must meet these requirements to support your Perceptive Enterprise Search system. These requirements specifically list the needs of Perceptive Enterprise Search and do not include any amount of memory or disk space you require for the operating system, environment, or other software that runs on the same machine.

Some technical specifications also provide recommendations. While requirements define the minimum system required to run Perceptive Enterprise Search, the recommended specifications serve as suggestions to improve the performance of your system. For maximum performance, review your specific environment, network, and platform capabilities and analyze your planned business usage of the system. Your specific system may require additional resources above these recommendations.”

It is pretty standard fare when it comes to technical specifications, in other words, not that interesting but necessary to make the enterprise system work correctly.
