As the volume of available information within the corporate SEARCH'97 Enterprise continues to grow, managing that information is an ever-increasing challenge. SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server is the information server for managing virtually all textual content within an organization, providing integrated search, retrieval and publishing access to corporate information.

Part of a global architecture, SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server connects to Verity's Client and provides a complete client/server information retrieval solution. The Server indexes information from virtually any point in the network, enabling users to view and retrieve data without regard to its location, format or hardware platform.

Built for worldwide, real-time production environments, SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server provides excellent performance, scalability and administrative ease. Real-time document indexing makes information available on an up-to-the-minute basis - data is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• Broad support for popular word processing and office document formats including Microsoft Word and Excel, WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, Adobe Acrobat's PDF and TIFF.
• Multi-process/multi-threaded architecture that scales easily to large environments and multiple CPU's capable of supporting thousands of simultaneous searches and millions of documents.
• Complete administrative features for managing users, databases and security.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server indexes documents - regardless of their location or format - into a searchable database, or "collection." Collections contain valuable, organized information about document attributes and content, and may be created from a wide variety of document formats and sources commonly found within the corporate Enterprise, including:

Popular word processor, spread sheets and office file formats including Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, and many others.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Adobe Acrobat's PDF, TIFF images and other graphic file formats.

Multiple document repositories including the network file system, RDBMs, Lotus Notes*, electronic mail and optionally newswire services and Usenet news groups.

* Notes access available in the future.

Ensures Top Performance for Large Enterprise Environments.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server's multi-threaded/multi-process architecture scales efficiently across multiple CPUs to support thousands of simultaneous searches and serve millions of documents. Administrators get the flexibility and control they need over system resources using the following performance features:

Dynamic load balancing distributes server workload across CPUs using multiple threads or processes.

Dozens of document collections can be served simultaneously to the user, thus simplifying the job of managing and retrieving distributed Enterprise data.

Provides Real-Time Access - All the Time.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server automatically indexes and serves documents on a real-time basis, enabling immediate retrieval of newly-arriving documents so users receive up-to-the-minute information. Users can actively search, even while new documents are being indexed into a collection. The system provides full-time availability with no down time required during maintenance or backup.

Enables Enterprise-wide Administration and Security.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server delivers powerful centralized administrative and security capabilities:

utilities are included that ease setup and administration.

Plug-in support is provided for a host of network access, security, compression and encryption options.

Audit features and log files allow monitoring of user access to collections and documents.

Designed to Conserve Network Bandwidth.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server optimizes network bandwidth and performance by transmitting only the data required to refresh the screen. Use of client/server protocols eliminates the additional overhead created by file sharing.

Built for Data Portability.

SEARCH'97 Enterprise Server indices are interoperable across applications and platforms, making information both portable and scalable. For example, data can be moved from a personal workstation for departmental use to a larger server for Enterprise or Internet consumption - without re-indexing or modification.

End users can dispatch "agents" to search historical information repositories as well as "watch" document collections to profile information as it flows through the SEARCH'97 Enterprise.

Searches return a relevancy-ranked list of documents that help users quickly locate information.
