Google Search Appliance takes five
October 10, 2007
Posted by Matthew Glotzbach, Program Management Director, Google Enterprise
Around here, we love
celebrating birthdays
, including those of our products. And so it was just about five years ago that the idea for the Google Search Appliance was born. It was simple: make search inside of businesses as easy and effective as searching on Google.com.
The
Google Search Appliance
has matured quite a bit
since then
. We started with intranet web servers, added security and more than 220 different file types, and found hundreds of partners and thousands of customers. Now, we're embarking on a new phase:
bringing universal search into the enterprise
in order to break down the information silos that have developed around business networks and information.
It feels good to take five years of experience and put it to work in the next generation, but we know we have plenty of room for improvement. That's why we've also launched
Google Enterprise Labs
. So tune in for a even closer look at what's to come.
