Hitachi Digs into Enterprise Search

November 23, 2016

HItachi Data Systems has embraced “content intelligence.” My recollection is that the “search” underlying the HItachi Content Platform is Perfect Search, a proprietary system which emphasized its performance features, not its ease of use for system administrators.

“Hitachi Adds Enterprise Search to Object Store” informs me that:

Hitachi Data Systems today debuted Content Intelligence, a new offering that adds a slew of enterprise search and analytic capabilities to its object-based file system.

Slew?

The system supports multi tenant, cloud scale deployments. The block diagram for the system looks like this:

According to a Hitachi professional, the new system will be “invaluable.” That is, I presume, a “slew” of value.

Hitachi was the second best system for object storage according to the big moon, mid tier consulting firm Gartner Group. The number one system was IBM Watson’s cell mate CleverSafe dsNet. (This is not the IBM Almaden Clever system for relevance determination.)

Other features, in addition to search, are a cloud gateway component, a file synchronization tool, and the ability to share access. For more information about the system, you can read “Better Object Storage with Hitachi Content Platform 2014.”
