Index Engines Unique Approach

Unstructured data represents the bulk of information contained in the enterprise. Search, classification and management of this data can only be effectively achieved if this data is indexed.

A comprehensive index of this data is the key to knowledge. The knowledge every business requires in order to be competitive and more effectively utilize their data resources.

Index Engines takes a fresh approach towards the indexing of unstructured data in the enterprise. Our technology integrates into your existing infrastructure and adds a high speed indexing process that is non-invasive and efficient. (Learn how we integrate.)

Why Index Engines?

When choosing an enterprise indexing strategy, you will need to evaluate the following criteria:

	Others	Index Engines
Collecting Data How to find what to index	Just as Internet search engines crawl the web to find data, these solutions crawl desktops, servers and archives, making for a slow and resource intensive process.	Our indexer does not burden the infrastructure with new processes or agents; it indexes data as it's backed up, replicated, snapped, archived, or vaulted.
Indexing Speed Large volumes require fast indexing	Traditional indexing solutions are bogged down by slow network protocols during crawling and the speed of random disk access during indexing.	Our proprietary indexing technology makes wire speed indexing (2 Gigabit/second) a reality.
Security Is sensitive data protected?	Some indexing solutions are not built for the enterprise; they generate cache copies of your data and don't integrate into existing permissioning schemas.	Our product is designed from the ground up for the enterprise - no copies of data are created and we inherit all existing security schemas.
Index Footprint How much storage will I need?	Typical indexing products generate bloated indexes often two to three times the size of the original data, creating a storage nightmare.	Our optimized index is only 8% of the original data size, a more manageable size which also results in faster queries.
Scalability How much stuff can I index?	Due to slow indexing speeds, and large storage requirements, these solutions are often relegated to small projects.	Our index economically processes billions, not millions, of files supporting enterprise-wide engagements.
Deployment What does it take to get going?	Other indexers require that data be web-enabled, moved to a repository, or manipulated in some manner so the indexer can understand it, a time consuming process.	Our solution is designed to be plug and play, no changes to your data environment are necessary.
Cost What's it going to cost?	Due to the inefficiencies mentioned above indexing data enterprise-wide is cost prohibitive.	Index Engines provides the most economical and scalable solution on the market today.

The Index Engines product line is focused on providing comprehensive and efficient indexing of data across the enterprise.
