QStar Technologies Partners to Add Advanced Search and Indexing Capabilities to Archive Data Management
|
Ft. Walton Beach, FL. – August 1st, 2005
QStar Technologies, today announces its partnership with BlackBall® Inc., a leading provider of desktop and network search products.
BlackBall SearchIn provides the world’s fastest and most accurate search on desktop volumes. The cost of storage has gone down, yet the number of applications that create files has gone up, exponentially increasing the total number of files in a storage volume. Finding files, emails, photos, documents and other information has never been more challenging. SearchIn Desktop and Professional are system-level software utilities that utilize a patent-pending keyword indexing methodology that enables fast accurate searches. The system automatically indexes files as they are saved to desktop volumes. The products leverage real time indexing that is optimal for system performance and search accuracy. The search index has been designed to address the complexity of rich media files by understanding specific metadata structures in these files. SearchIn calms the volume with patent-pending technology that allows customers to find their files instantly.
"The storage and management of data on archival media has become vital and necessary in order for businesses to be compliant, regardless of the specific regulatory standard. Searching for data and leveraging it into business information is now the challenge, " said Patricia Brown, President & Chief Operating Officer, BlackBall, Inc., "The integration of BlackBall's SearchIn real-time indexing of data as it is being archived by QStar Data Director represents a complete solution for compliancy problems. We're excited about our new partnership and applying BlackBall's technology to a new market opportunity."
By integrating SearchIn with QStar storage management solutions, users can take advantage of a powerful HSM and file caching engine to manage large volumes of archive data on single or multiple volumes. With the appearance of a standard magnetic disk, access to the data stored in the volume is entirely transparent to users and their applications, allowing SearchIn to index and search all archive stores at blazing speed.
“Corporate archive information is useless if users cannot find their data in a timely manner. With the requirement to store more archive data and be able to find it quickly, we have identified this need and are happy to partner with BlackBall to be able to provide a complete solution to our customers”, said Todd Deveney, Vice President of Sales at QStar Technologies.
