Verity K2 Toolkit Delivers Speed, Precision and Scalability to Enterprise Portal Users
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - 2000-05-08 - Verity, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise and Internet knowledge retrieval solutions, today announced that Sybase, Inc. (Nasdaq: SYBS), one of the largest global independent software companies, has selected Verity's K2 Toolkit to provide high-performance knowledge retrieval for its my.sybase.com Web portal. The Verity K2 smart information retrieval system delivers an impressive combination of high-speed performance and concept-based search, enabling customers to quickly locate what they want, no matter how simple or complex the query.
The my.sybase.com site, which is expected to launch in June and utilize Sybase's new Enterprise Portal (EP) product, is designed to enable customers to create their own Web accounts for receiving personalized information on a real-time basis. It is a robust Enterprise Portal, designed to make it easy for anyone in the general public to access the exact Sybase product and services information they need, all in one place. Designed as a representative implementation, Sybase is offering my.sybase.com as a premier example of how portals should be designed and implemented. The Verity K2 Toolkit was selected to power both my.sybase.com and the general sybase.com Internet sites because of its scalability, high-performance, and superior ability to provide accurate and relevant results. my.sybase.com is currently in beta, and users can explore it and provide feedback to Sybase by accessing the site at www.sybase.com.
"Based on our projections, search usage on our new Web site is expected to be 57,000 visitors per day, growing eventually to twice that number, with an average load of close to 20 requests per second," said Jim Zirkel, IT project director at Sybase. "To support this volume, we required a knowledge retrieval technology that was highly scalable, powerful and accurate - and having had previous experience with Verity products and technology, we knew the Verity K2 Toolkit could deliver. In addition, it integrates easily with Vignette StoryServer, the platform on which we've built our online portal application."
According to Anthony Bettencourt, president of Verity, "Verity has been providing underlying infrastructure technology for creating portals for the past three years. We're pleased that Sybase has selected our K2 Toolkit technology to power its general-interest Enterprise Portal based on the Sybase application development platform. Verity provides a key advantage, allowing Sybase to turn growing stores of data into useful information which can be quickly and easily accessed no matter how great the number of concurrent users."
