Inktomi Corp. Tuesday released its
third-generation search architecture, a super search index comprising 500
million Net documents.
GEN3 underpins the Inktomi search engine and has the ability to index over
one billion documents. This new architecture will provide portals and
destination sites, offering users accurate search results and new search
services.
The GEN3 architecture is built upon Inktomi’s (INKT)
Coupled Cluster and Concept Induction core technologies. Coupled Cluster
software architecture is the foundation for the
Inktomi search engine and enables multiple workstations collaborating in
parallel through high-speed connections to function as one computer.
Inktomi clients include Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), America Online
Inc. (AOL), Goto.com Inc. (GOTO)
and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO).
In March, Inktomi joined the ranks of firms that are turning to wireless
technology, a market many analysts expect to boom over the next few years.
Inktomi said it will work with Hewlett-Packard
Co. (HP) for
its hardware Sun Microsystems Inc. and (SUNW)
for its infrastructure.
