| Search Grows Up with the Launch of Vivisimo Velocity 5.5 Vivisimo introduces the Vivisimo Velocity 5.5 enterprise search platform. Velocity 5.5 brings unprecedented levels of scalability and fault tolerance to enterprises burdened with growing amounts of data and ever-changing regulatory demands. Available within 30 days, Velocity 5.5 is indicative of the inevitable shift in enterprise search from a peripheral end-user tool for business to an enterprise-strength application for the knowledge worker to harness and take control of business information. Built for scalability, Velocity 5.5 is a milestone in the evolution of enterprise search technology, empowering customers to expand beyond the traditional limitations of departmental inquiries to enterprise-wide search without compromising reliability. As a result, Velocity 5.5 provides a dependable, usable and stable end-user search experience across all corporate departments. With Velocity 5.5, network administrators can easily replicate instances of a single index across multiple services, allowing 99.99% up time. For example, if one server crashes, the second or third server storing a copy of that index will fulfill the search request. In mission critical search applications, this requirement is necessary or a corporation risks the loss of business and employee productivity. Velocity 5.5 also allows administrators to quickly segment an index onto multiple servers for maximum application performance in high usage, data intensive scenarios. Both replication and segmentation of indexes are accomplished through a simple point-and-click within the Velocity web administrative interface - taking minutes to configure, compared to other enterprise search solutions that take days to install due to heavy API configurations. Velocity 5.5 also offers new search functionality to enhance the end-user experience. Velocity now handles such advanced queries as word proximity, complex date ranges, and natural language. In addition, Velocity 5.5 offers a tool for query expansion. For example, some names have many different spellings because they were transliterated into the Roman alphabet from other writing systems (Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc.). For these names, the ability to expand a query to include all spellings is critical. Velocity 5.5 offers the ability to suggest alternative queries for misspellings, word stemming, alternative translations and synonyms – all based upon administrator defined content. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
