Vivisimo Velocity Named 'Editor's Choice' in Network Computing Enterprise Search Review

Velocity Search Platform Praised for Out-of-the-Box Security Configurability and Clustering Capabilities

Pittsburgh, PA—Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of search software and expertise, today announced that Vivisimo Velocity has been selected by Network Computing as Editor's Choice in enterprise search following a review of the leading products in the industry. Published in the June 25 issue, the review cites security configurability, out-of-the-box integration capabilities and the clustering engine as key features that helped Vivisimo Velocity earn the distinction. Velocity was the only product Network Computing named as Editor's Choice, and this is the third time in a row it has won head-to-head reviews in top-tier technology publications.

"We are pleased that Vivisimo Velocity was designated the Network Computing Editor's Choice pick among the enterprise search products tested. This is a testament to the stability and flexibility of Velocity, since the rigorous evaluation of the publication's labs has dissuaded many major enterprise search vendors from participating," said Christopher Palmer, CTO and co-founder of Vivisimo. "This recognition continues Vivisimo's unbroken string of first places during independent, hands-on review of enterprise search options."

Network Computing's enterprise search review states that Velocity provides the best out-of-the-box support for different security architectures (ACL caching as well as SSO, Integrated Auth, OASIS and PKI). Velocity also provides content-level security. Furthermore, the review highlights how Velocity's clustering and federating capabilities goes beyond indexing content from disparate sources. Velocity can query external sources, combine results with the Search Engine, and create categories of all the results.

Vivisimo Velocity continues to lead innovation in enterprise search by combining powerful technology with flexible architecture and a simple end-user experience. Most recently, the Velocity experience was brought to mobile devices with Vivisimo Velocity for Mobile, which enables searching on corporate intranets, email and other databases from smartphones.
