Global file search is difficult

File search faces a unique set of challenges beyond that of generic search infrastructure

  • Personalized search must reflect complex and ultra-granular file permissions
  • File updates, ACL updates, and file deletes must be relected quickly
  • Must scale to support thousands of users per company, each with possibly millions of files

Managing search infrastructure for files is a pain

  • Must develop complicated connectors to various data sources
  • Must scale services to millions of users while maintaining fast query performance
  • Requires constant development, patching and support

Search infrastructure is expensive

  • Requires a massive network of data crawlers
  • Without intelligent deduplication, storage of the index prohibitively expensive
  • Infrastructure must scale to ensure performance and security
