Google Search Appliance & Google Mini in Malaysia

Have you ever thought of owning a Google like search engine for your organization? I believe that most of the organizations are facing the ­problem of having to ­maintain and search large pools of data that is becoming increasingly difficult to track and record.So what Google now being your saviour is introducing 2 killing products, namely Google Search Appliance v5.0 and Google Mini!

Besides, search and search and search, these products also has enhanced security features that ensure users can only search for information that they are authorised to view.

Search Appliance v5.0 is priced from RM197,300(Might be steep for SME) and can search up to 500,000 documents while Google Mini pricing starts from RM20,900 and can search up to 50,000­documents. Sounds cool, doesn't it?!

The design of Google Search Appliance is brilliant, it looks like a huge cheese not only huge, but it looks yummy too. The server is by Dell but not by Google. Only search algorithm is by search giant, Google. Well, i would like to give a testimonial. I am using Google Desktop on my PC in office, i can assure you that, you can search every single files i wanted in less than a minute, even the file you are looking for is stored in don't know how many level of subfolders! Trust me(I am not Google employee though). The Google Desktop is something like Google Search Appliance and Google Mini, the only difference is, Google Desktop is only can search all the files within your desktop(Laptop is appliacable)



Good news for Malaysian! Google Search Appliance and Google Mini are now available in Malaysia! Personally, I am looking forward seeing Google set up an office in Malaysia, although this is almost impossible.......
