IDOL Server

At the heart of Autonomy's infrastructure software lies the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) Server. The IDOL Server collects indexed data from connectors and stores it in its proprietary structure, optimized for fast processing and retrieval of data. As the information processing layer, IDOL forms a conceptual and contextual understanding of all content in an enterprise, automatically analyzing any piece of information from over 1,000 different content formats and even people's interests. Over 500 operations can be performed on digital content by IDOL, including hyperlinking, agents, summarization, taxonomy generation, clustering, eduction, profiling, alerting and retrieval.

IDOL enables organizations to benefit from automation without losing manual control. This complementary approach allows automatic processing to be combined with a variety of human controllable overrides, offering the best of both worlds and never requiring an "either/or" choice.

IDOL integrates with all known legacy systems, eliminating the need for organizations to cobble together multiple systems to support their disparate components.

"Security is a key differentiator for IDOL. IDOL offers "mapped security" and near real-time synchronization of security entitlements with source content repositories - making it a great fit for highly secure search scenarios"
