Introduction to Exalead and Embedded Search

Exalead is one of the 'Tier 1' search vendors available today, and offers a feature-rich platform that can scale from embedded search up to internet-scale applications. The platform is very efficient as well, and it may be one of the most 'green' search platforms on the market today. One NIE customer that had a rapidly growing content base replaced their existing platform with Exalead where the ROI was the savings they would enjoy because the cost of the Exalead licenses and implementation was less than the cost of the additional servers they would add in year 1 with the current vendor. In this video presented by Exalead in 2008, NIE co-founder Miles Kehoe discusses users expectations, the challenges of embedded search, and a brief introduction to NIE.
