Intuitive, "Zero-Training" Use

At-a-Glance Results Scanning

Unlike simple Web search engines that return an endless list of links in response to a user's query, CloudView provides smart results featuring:

• Thumbnail images
• Rich document previews (regardless of the file's original application)
• Key file identification data (location, file type, source, etc.)

Automatic Classification and Clustering

More importantly, however, CloudView automatically groups results in clusters using categories such as author, sender, recipient, language, related terms, and named entities (people, places and organizations). With a single click on one of these dynamic categories, users can expand, narrow or redefine their searches. This capability, plus user-friendly technologies like "type ahead" query suggestions, spelling correction and fuzzy matching via synonyms and approximate and phonetic spelling, are making 'no-results' or abandoned searches a thing of the past, and encouraging information discovery, reuse and sharing.

An Agile, Industrial Platform

Uniquely engineered for both the enterprise and the Web, CloudView features a fully distributed, service-oriented architecture (SOA) supporting standard Web formats and protocols. It offers:

Easy, Automated Management

Data collection, analysis, classification and normalization tasks are fully automated with CloudView, and administrative tasks are a breeze with the platform's Web-based Management Console. Scaling is also a snap: simply add on inexpensive commodity hardware as needed—no painful migration required!

To learn why organizations are making the switch from search appliances to CloudView, see our Solutions Brief EXALEAD and Search Appliance Migration.

We changed to EXALEAD after 4 years of the Google Search Appliance for a number of reasons. We were unable to combine our secure content with non-secure content in search and could not index database sources to conduct analysis, for example, understanding our attendance records. We struggled to customize the interface to present results in a simple-to-navigate interface accommodating our own relevance factors. Exalead met all these needs, quickly and simply.
