ISYS® Search Software Introduces Enterprise Search For Linux

ISYS:web and ISYS:sdk Now Available for Advanced Enterprise Search Functionality on the Linux Operating System

BOSTON, "AIIM International Exposition & Conference," March 4, 2008 – ISYS® Search Software (http://www.isys-search.com), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced the availability of ISYS:web and ISYS:sdk for the Linux operating system.

ISYS:web for Linux is a direct port of ISYS:web for Windows to the Linux platform and therefore transfers the majority of capabilities and supported file types to the new system.  ISYS:web for Linux provides users with sophisticated enterprise search functionality, such as automatic categorization and entity detection, while administrators can take advantage of robust administration controls that enable rapid implementation and instant monitoring of search trends and performance. 

ISYS:sdk for Linux provides software developers and system integrators with the ability to incorporate the power of the ISYS search API into custom applications and solutions, whether for commercial distribution or internal use.  Over the years, ISYS has licensed its ISYS:sdk technology to a variety of organizations, including EMC Corporation, Autodesk, TOWER Software and more.

“ISYS has always had the ability to index information across a variety of locations and systems, including Linux, from its Windows platform,” said Ian Davies, founder and managing director, ISYS Search Software.  “Now pure Linux sites no longer need to run ISYS on a Windows machine, but can run ISYS natively on Linux servers.  ISYS for Linux is particularly important for OEM customers who license our technology and embed it in their own applications, as many of these require availability on multiple platforms. We also see this as important to current FAST, Microsoft SharePoint search and Autonomy customers, who are increasingly seeking out other multi-platform search solutions, given the uncertainty that recent consolidation has created for these vendors.” 

ISYS:web for Linux is available for search with all Linux distributions and is certified for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, IA32 (Intel 32bit) and SuSE Linux Enterprise 10.  ISYS:sdk is available for use with Linux kernels 2.2 and higher.  To learn more about ISYS:web and ISYS:sdk for Linux, please visit:
