Googlehas upgraded its Search
Appliance system for large firms with easier connectivity to
third-party databases and other features.
The Google Search Appliance makes all of the information that
employees need accessible through a single search box. It can index
millions of documents, and its security features ensure that users
can only access the information that they have permission to
view.
Search Appliance 5.0 is designed to secure search across more
content sources, with enhanced search quality and new user
interface enhancements.
The new Content Connector Framework in version 5.0 makes it easy
for partners, developers and customers to write connectors to any
content system.
Google has provided pre-built connectors for the
Microsoft SharePoint, IBM
FileNet, OpenText LiveLink, and EMC Documentum enterprise
content management systems.
The new version also comes with enhanced security features,
which makes it easier for registered users to search for results
through a single sign-on process.
The Google Search Appliance starts at £15,000 to search up to
500,000 documents.
