Speed & Performance
Autonomy's software is deployed to solve mission critical business problems, with a wide variety of capacity and performance requirements. With the ever-increasing volumes of users and data, and 365 by 24 operation, the importance of immediate results, and rapid and unpredictable increases in content and usage impose rigorous requirements on Autonomy's underlying technology. Real-world examples and internal benchmarks prove Autonomy more than satisfies those requirements for fast, accurate retrieval and categorization.
Typical retrieval speeds achieved in real deployment examples:
-
1 Gb - 20 milliseconds
Corporate data in HTML, Lotus Notes, MS Office and PDF formats
-
3 Gb - 40 milliseconds
Real-time news on a fully distributed system
