How We Integrate
Integration with Existing Infrastructure

The Index Engines platform seamlessly integrates into existing data infrastructures to perform fast, scalable indexing. Each engine understands common network and storage protocols. The diagram below shows an example implementation of Index Engines for comprehensive data discovery.

 

 

Unified integration and data collection from the following environments is currently supported:

 

Historical Backup Tapes
Virtual Tape Libraries
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Desktops/Network Servers
Hard Drives/USB Drives/Forensic Images

As Index Engines processes data, a searchable index is generated containing rich metadata and content for all common unstructured files and email.  This unified index contains information about data residing on backup tapes, networks and large storage file systems to allow for search and extraction of unique content through a single interface.  The data is not copied during the indexing process, therefore the index footprint is remarkably small - only 4-8% of the original data size. No other solution has the depth and breadth of discovery across the enterprise. One Index Engine can index over a billion objects per system.
