SearchBlox Distributed Edition
The Distributed Edition adds a new dimension to the search capabilities available in the other Editions of SearchBlox - the ability to distribute the handling of search requests to hundreds, even thousands of servers. Each of these servers runs an identical, standalone and special SearchBlox search application that contains all the components required to handle the search requests. The net result of this approach is that the search application can be deployed to any number of servers, giving you unlimited power to handle search requests.
SearchBlox Distributed Edition offers significant benefits:On Demand Search: SearchBlox Distributed Edition can handle search requests concurrently from hundreds, even thousands of users at any time. Moreover, when there is a sudden surge in search requests, it can quickly scale to handle the demand without increasing search times.
Consistent User Experience: Irrespective of the number of users using the search, the user always experiences sub-second response times. This is unlike other search software where increasing the number of users slows the search. Since the search application on every server is identical, the search results for any query on any server will be identical ensuring a consistent user experience.
Seamless Integration: SearchBlox Distributed Edition is totally integrated with Akamai EdgeComputing Platform. With a single click in the SearchBlox Admin Console, the search application can be deployed on the Akamai server network. With the built-in schedulers in SearchBlox, the process of rebuilding the index and deploying the search application can be completely automated.
Rock Solid Security: With a large number of servers involved in the deployment, managing the security of the application is of utmost priority. SearchBlox Distributed Edition offers total security for deployed search application by making it completely READONLY - the search application does not update even a single file when deployed on the server. This ensures the integrity of the deployed application at all times.
