Google launches new search applicance
(Agencies)
Updated: 2004-06-03 08:48 Google Inc., the No.1 Web search company, unveiled
Tuesday an upgraded version of its search appliance that companies, schools and
governments use to sift through their own internal networks for information.
 The new Google search appliance, which combines computer hardware with
Google's search software, is able to store information on 1.5 million documents,
about five times the capacity of the previous search appliance, said Dave
Girouard, general manager of Google's enterprise business.
The new search appliance, which sells for prices starting at US$32,000, is
also designed to find information five times faster than the previous version,
which was introduced in February 2002.
"It is a smaller part of Google's business but an important one," Girouard
said.
The bright yellow search appliance, which is designed to fit into the same
racks that house networking equipment and computer servers that store, manage
and direct data, is designed with the same search technology that powers
Google's search engine.
