Search Appliances Developing to Fit Expanding Enterprise Needs
October 15, 2012
Google has recently launched two new plug and play appliances with the Google Search Appliance Version 7.0 boxes. According to the article “Google Launches New Enterprise Search Appliances” on eWeek, these new tools will help users search content in large stores of data to find specific information within their enterprise. The appliances offer features such as document preview, language translation, and a smaller physical footprint and can search information from over one billion documents.
Google explains the necessity for these types of search tools in the article:
“‘You might be searching for last quarter’s sales goals, product launch materials or your colleague’s telephone number—but there isn’t one simple search box to help you find all the information you need,’ Matthew Eichner, general manager of Google’s enterprise search unit wrote in an Oct. 9 post on the Google Enterprise blog. ‘When 60 percent of corporate workers say that it’s hard to find information within their organization, something needs to change.’”
Google is attempting to make that necessary change for enterprises, but they are not the only ones making an impact on the industry. One example is Intrafind, which offers enhanced search features that include secure expert identification and semantic associations within an organization’s data repositories. With these types of high-performance enterprise search features, organizations can be sure that information is secure as well as accessible.
