Advances in Search Drive Big Data Future

June 4, 2013

Big Data is getting the lion’s share of attention in the enterprise search market. As the cost of data storage continues to plummet, even smaller organizations are interested in capturing the meaning that may exist in massive amounts of routine data, or Big Data. So the Big Data market is exploding. Smart Data Collective is tracking the trends in their article, “7 Big Data Trends That Will Impact Your Business.”

The article highlights trends that will impact the average business. The third trend noted is advances in search and LucidWorks is a standout contender in this category:

“Sifting through massive amounts of data to find that preverbal needle in the haystack is no simple task. Over time we will likely see more big data solutions injecting search support into their solutions. Leading the way in this endeavor are LucidWorks, IBM, Oracle through the acquisition of Endeca (full disclosure, I’m a former Endeca employee), Autonomy and MarkLogic. LucidWorks combines an open source stack of Lucene/Solr, Hadoop, Mahout and NLP.”

So for those who are interested in capturing and using Big Data, but want an interface they can negotiate, LucidWorks is a great choice. Their LucidWorks Big Data is an application development platform that incorporates the power of Lucene, Solr, Hadoop, Hive, and other major open source powerhouses into a usable, efficient platform. Try it and see.
