Perfect Search Appliance Handles One Billion Records
November 19, 2009
My RSS reader delivered a news item in which a breakthrough content processing appliance was described with a quotation from ArnoldIT.com’s founder. Here’s the news story:
Perfect Search Corporation announced on November 19, 2009, at KMWorld’s Enterprise Search Summit West conference the release of their One Box Extender Model OBX-1B, with the capacity of indexing and searching over 1 billion database records. “The Perfect Search OBX series is built to interface with the Google Search Appliance,” explains Del Satterthwaite, Director of Sales Engineering. “By tying into Google’s One Box API, we allow the corporate user to experience the same great Google search experience which is now expanded by our OBX search appliance to access content within massive databases.” By being able to index and search over one billion database records, Perfect Search provides companies the ability to cost-effectively search content stored within their databases. The Perfect Search OBX-1B model connects to Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MySQL, and other JDBC compliant databases. “Petascale data flows are becoming a business reality. Search and content processing systems able to handle massive data in a cost-effective, efficient manner are not widely available. Perfect Search’s technology can process large volumes of data quickly using commodity hardware. The company’s technology breaks new ground in search,” said Stephen E. Arnold, analyst and author of the original Enterprise Search Report and several studies of Google’s technology. “Just as Google dominates the Internet search space, over the past few years Google has also become the leader in the Enterprise Search space. We are excited to expand the benefits of Google search, which are easy of use, speed, and relevance, to the world of massive databases,” stated Tim Stay, CEO of Perfect Search. “Not only can we search one database, we can federate our search across multiple databases, as well as find data within any field within the database, including text fields and return the results within the Google search results format and styling.”
A tip of the hat to Perfect Search from the ArnoldIT.com team. The boss—Stephen E. Arnold — is out of the office today but he would want me to emit a “happy quack” for this reference.

I am supposed to tell whether I was paid to write this article. Since the boss pays me, therefore, this was a for fee article, but I am not paid enough.
