Autonomy Announces Peer-To-Peer Implementation of its Technology
New Module Harnesses Power of Multiple PCs Without Requiring Additional Hardware or Infrastructure
San Francisco, Calif. (November 30, 2000) - Autonomy Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AUTN; EASDAQ: AUTN; LSE: AU.), a global leader in infrastructure software for the Web and the enterprise, today announced the availability of a peer-to-peer implementation of its technology for the automated processing, managing and delivery of unstructured information.
Autonomy's Personal Distributed Query Handler (PDQH) implementation allows multiple networked PCs to work as one seamless system. Enabling team members to harness the combined processing and storage capacity of their personal computers with the information they own, Autonomy PDQH transparently unites resources with information to solve business critical issues from all locations. Autonomy PDQH technology automatically categorizes, tags, links and delivers documents stored on an individual's hard drive and corporate file servers, providing a single point of access for all intellectual property in an organization. Actual processing is evenly distributed across all networked machines creating a highly scalable information exchange.
For over two years, Autonomy's DQH technology has allowed large systems, composed of multiple servers working together and reporting to one controlling system, to appear as one, virtual system. By distributing complex systems across multiple computers, Autonomy has powered some of the highest load and largest volume unstructured information systems in the world while keeping hardware and management costs exceedingly low. Autonomy is able to provide fast and highly scalable systems that process hundreds of gigabytes of content within tenths of milliseconds. Autonomy PDQH is a true peer-to-peer version of this technology and comes to market tested and proven.
To effectively leverage intellectual capital, people need instant access to both published and work-in-progress information. In both cases, access is hampered by the necessity to manually publish the documents, spread sheets, Web pages, presentations, etc. into a central repository or portal. In addition, for work-in-progress, which is rarely published, someone first must find out who is working on a particular project and then must request the information. Ultimately this is inaccurate, inefficient, and unsustainable in a large organization. The only way to effectively incorporate intellectual capital is to teach computers how to understand it.
Autonomy's software provides that intelligence. It enables computers to form an understanding of text, Web pages, e-mails, voice, documents and people's area of expertise. Because of this ability, it automates the process of categorizing, managing, personalizing and delivering of unstructured information. In a peer-to-peer environment, this enables access to both published and un-published work without having to know who specifically is working on it. For example, an employee researching market conditions in Asia for an upcoming product launch would automatically be provided with a report that a co-worker in Hong Kong is researching about the manufacturing industry in China.
"Peer-to-peer represents an evolution in business' approach to knowledge management and enhanced intellectual property," says Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy. "Businesses are realizing that valuable data resides not just in their databases, but in the real-time work of employees. Connecting these employees, through the information they create on their own PCs, can dramatically accelerate the time to market for new products and services. However, this data can't be efficiently managed unless computers learn to understand information the way humans do. Autonomy teaches them how. We make computers smarter."
PDQH is available for Windows, NT, LINUX and most versions of UNIX in both product and OEM format.
