KEYS TO FULL TEXT SEARCH
AND DISCOVERY
Employees waste too much time looking
for relevant content to do their jobs. There
must be a better way.
•
Operating
system search capabilities are
slow and resource-intensive.
•
Layered
search software is complex,
costly and often out of sync with actual
content.
•
The
DataGravity appliance provides
simple and intuitive search, navigation
and visualization of over 400 file types.
Every Company Is Wasting
Time Looking For Content
People spend too much time looking for content to help them improve their skills, complete their
assignments on time and enable new projects. Sometimes it’s a presentation, other times, it’s an old
contract or process documentation.
Often, if someone knows anything about the content they are looking for, it’s not the file name or
location, but the file’s content itself, or the timeframe it was created, or the person who created the file.
And for many organizations, more than 80% of their data is unstructured – myriad files not contained
in a searchable database. Traditionally, searching unstructured data is hard- existing solutions take too
long to parse through the systems and directories to find the content you’re looking for.
For most IT managers, end users are creating more and more unstructured data at a dizzying pace.
Without the ability to quickly search within file content, user productivity is compromised and the
value of all that stored data is lost.
What happens when you don’t organize your unstructured data
• People waste valuable time searching
for and recreating work they’ve
already done
80% of corporate data is unstructured
file-based data, yet less than 1% is analyzed
for data insights and discovery.
• Key tasks and projects risk delays
and failures
• Creativity is stifled by lost productivity
• Limited access to expertise
impedes learning
• Redundant content consumes
storage resources
• The value of stored data
is diminished
An Elegant New Solution
for Search and Discovery
Classic solutions that index and search unstructured data are cumbersome, costly and
complex, requiring intrusive software to continuously scan and index data sources throughout the infrastructure.
“Before DataGravity, I wouldn’t
have been easily able to help my
colleague find her ‘lost’ file and
restore it to a usable version –
let alone doing it in 30 seconds.”
CHRIS BERUBE Director of IT, Law Offices of Joe Bornstein
