Google Appliance Speed to Help Keep Edge on Microsoft

Google releases its new Google Search Appliance, a box that now indexes 10 million documents as a way to compete with Microsoft's Fast search assets, as well as Vivisimo, Endeca, Autonomy and other players in the enterprise search market. Google also looks to extend its market lead with new metadata biasing tools, Google alerts, advanced search analytics and Kerberos support.

Google isn't waiting for Microsoft to scramble to improve its Fast enterprise search software.

Google has retooled the architecture of its GSA (Google Search Appliance), making hardware and software changes that enable the enterprise search appliance to index as many as 10 million documents in one box.

This is crucial at a time when businesses are increasingly turning to enterprise search as a means to retrieve their Web-based documents, another example of how corporations are using the Internet to improve their business processes.

Previously, a single GSA could index only two million documents and the company would sell them in five-nose clusters to serve 10 million documents.
