Organizations are generating exponentially increasing amounts of data. Locating specific data through manual techniques is becoming increasingly problematic, to the point where valuable data is effectively lost forever.
PixStor Search provides fast indexing and search capabilities across massive data sets. It is designed to handle hundreds of millions of files, automatically capturing custom or standard metadata about those files, and allowing easy and meaningful searches across the entire PixStor Global Namespace.
