Yotta Search: A Full Service Solution
May 17, 2015
I spoke to a colleague who asked me about Yotta Search. I dug through my Overflight files and located a write up about the new enterprise search system from Yotta Data Technologies and a company called Yotta Customer Analytics. One Yotta is in Cleveland. The other is in Silicon Valley. Both are in the analytics game.
A “yotta” is a whole lotta data, the biggest unit of data. I wonder if the company has a comment on a set of yottas?
I checked my files for the company offering Yotta search, based in Cleveland, home of EPI Thunderstone, another enterprise search vendor. The company behind Yotta Search is Yotta Data Technologies.
According the firm’s Web site at www.yottadatatechnologies.com:
Yotta Data Technologies (YDT) is a technology company built on a foundation of deep industry experience and driven by a passion for innovative excellence. We provide data management and information governance solutions to corporations, firms and agencies, whether they be a small local firm or a multinational corporation with offices around the globe. Each of our platforms maintains the high levels of quality, performance and security that are critical within information governance initiatives and any data management project.
The search system appears to be based on open source technology if I understand this Web site information:
Yotta Search is a versatile enterprise search solution being developed by Yotta Data Technologies (YDT) for teams, small to medium sized businesses and large corporations. Yotta Search provides powerful, fast and flexible technology that is not only well beyond full text search, but also powers the search and analysis features of many of the world’s largest internet sites and data platforms.
The operative phrase is “being developed.” The company asserts capabilities in these functions:
- Business intelligence
- Discovery
- Information governance
- Virtual data rooms.
I noticed a news item called “Yotta Data Technologies Announces Enterprise Search and Big Data Analytics Platform.” If the information is correct, Yotta is no longer “being developed,” one can license the system. The url provided is www.yottasearch.info. The story describes the Yotta search system in this way.
YottaSearch is easy – and budget friendly – to implement with a cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model and a disruptive, subscription-based pricing model.
Key Functionality of the YottaSearch
- Data Point Connectors – Local, Network, Email, Enterprise Systems, Databases, Social Media
- File Crawlers – Detects & Parses over 1,000 file types
- File Indexer – Language Detection, Deduplication, Near Real Time, Distributed, Scalable
- Advanced Search Engines – Based on the high performance Apache Lucene library
- Data Analytics – Intelligent analysis of structured and unstructured data
- Dynamic Dashboards – Explore, analyze, navigate and define large volumes of complex data.
The system can be used for a number of applications, according to the write up:
- Enterprise Search and Analytics
- Information Governance
- IT Operations Analytics (ITOA)
- Investigations & eDiscovery
- Knowledge Management (KM)
- Internet of Things (IoT), Event & Log Data Analysis
Also, Yotta offers global data services and global electronic discovery services. The company’s tag line is “Information intelligence for corporations, firms, and agencies.”
Like I said, a lotta yottas and a robust line up of functionality which some more established search and content processing systems do not possess. Is Yotta competing with Elastic or is Yotta competing with the ABC vendors: Attivio, BA Insight, or Coveo? Worth watching.
