This white paper outlines the considerable difference between the approaches in an effort to educate implementors on the relative merits of each approach. Read more...
Multiple Data Sources
MaxxCAT has tremendously simplified the process of searching data from multiple enterprise sources. Enterprises store their data in a wide variety of locations -- websites, intranets, database, file shares, SAN arrays, applications and decentralized PC desktops. MaxxCAT search appliances have greatly simplified the problem of aggregating, indexing and relevantly searching this data from this wide variety of sources by providing a single API to query this diverse set of data, regardless of the source.
