CloudView Platform Highlights
Bringing Structure to an Unstructured Universe
Exalead CloudView™ is a one-of-a-kind search engine that collects unstructured and structured data from any source, in any format and in any volume, and automatically transforms it into a single structured information resource. This resource, which continually evolves and adapts as your data evolves, can be directly searched or used to develop innovative search-based applications (SBAs).
CloudView's Unique Functionality
CloudView offers a single platform for:
- Unified, Web-style information search
- Automatically structured data access
- Intuitive, dynamic reporting
Unified, Web-Style Information Search
CloudView provides a single point of access to all your content, breaking down knowledge silos. Searches can be launched from a simple, Web-style text box, and results are automatically organized into categories for one-click refinement. User aids like related query suggestions, phonetic and approximate spelling matches, and spelling correction further ensure fast, successful search.
Transform scattered, heterogeneous data
into usable information assets
Automatically Structured Data Access
CloudView's advanced semantic technologies automatically analyze, normalize and categorize heterogeneous unstructured and structured data into a unified information resource that can be distributed, accessed and displayed with unprecedented flexibility, automation, and speed. In fact, a search engine like CloudView can process information access requests 100s of times faster than traditional relational database systems.
Intuitive, Dynamic Reporting
CloudView is an ideal tool for enabling broad access to real-time reporting for better day-to-day decision making. CloudView can non-intrusively index in real-time (or quasi real-time) all desired sources for wide-scope intelligence, with built-in statistical processors enabling rich out-of-the box reporting. Users simply click on data of interest to generate on-the-fly visual reporting (bar charts, pie charts, maps, reports, etc.). Unlike traditional database applications, there is no need to pre-determine user needs and possible data views in order to open up a resource for reporting.
Superior Performance & Scaling
Sharing the same high-performance engineering and distributed architecture as Exalead's public Web search engine (which processes 2 billion queries a month), CloudView scales effortlessly to meet any organization's needs, with one Exalead customer currently processing half a petabyte (half a million GBs) of data daily in real-time. CloudView also delivers millisecond responsiveness using exceptionally lean resources, supporting indexing of 100 million documents and processing 20 queries per second on a single low-cost server.
Unmatched Versatility & Usability
CloudView's service-oriented architecture (SOA) and support for standard Web technologies brings Web-style agility to the enterprise. Deploy CloudView using Exalead's award-winning, out-of-the-box search interface, or create custom search interfaces, content presentations and smart applications to meet unique business needs (in days or weeks, not months or years!). This flexibility is complemented by 'zero-training' usage inspired by the consumer Web, with support for dynamically faceted content navigation, 'fuzzy' matching, and natural language query processing. (See search-based applications (SBAs).)
