If you’ve read his work, you’ve likely picked out some themes. One that holds particular resonance is this idea that most believe that if you’ve got a search problem, the traditional answer is to throw hardware at it. Having a database performance issue? Throw hardware at it. Having scalability issues? Hardware. Not getting the queries per second you need? I think you get the idea.

Throwing hardware at the problem may be great for the companies selling the hardware, but from licensing to energy costs more hardware means more cost, and folks these days are a bit more cautious when it comes to pulling the trigger. As one client recently said, “People are buying cheaper, not better. . . “‘

Enter Perfect Search. Using patented algorithms and methodologies Perfect Search clients are able to actually reduce the amount of hardware required to support search and we’ve never delivered a solution that produced less than a 5 to 1 search server reduction. In most cases the server replacement ratio is actually higher. Add to that the fact that the technology produces superior query precision, blazing index and query speeds, and all at an attractive price point and Perfect Search starts to look very appealing.

Given the above, it’s no wonder that folks like Stephen Arnold and the team over at Arnold IT are fans. We’re pretty excited too.

Provided these numbers are correct, what does the future look like for on premise data center management? As Stephen Arnold of the Arnold IT group states, “Well, grim I suppose.” So what are the operational implications of such a potential shift? As Arnold and others see it, “Industry dislocation, limited choice, high costs, and reduced control.”

For those wanting similar cost reduction on search related expenses and to retain on site management of their data, we should talk.

In addition to providing superior search in terms speed, precision, and power, Perfect Search also produces unmatched scalability. Utilizing Perfect Search technology our clients have been able to drastically reduce the hardware needed for search. We’ve never shown less than a 5 to 1 search server reduction ratio and in most instances it’s much greater.
