Federator Module Allows Users to Share Archives from Different
Locations through One Search Portal
November 15, 2004 - McLean, VA - ZyLAB, an
established market leader of document imaging and information
retrieval software, today announced the immediate availability
of its new Federator Module. This new module allows organizations
to search Webservers located at multiple sites from a single location
– with one query, searches can take place in all selected
archives, independent of their location.
A ZyIMAGE Webserver helps users access archived
content through a Web interface, so any user with a standard browser
can connect to that archive and retrieve information. Companies
with many locations will often install a Webserver at each site
in order to archive and manage information relevant to that specific
location. The Federator Module enables users from any single networked
location to search all of these multi-site Webservers simultaneously.
The result of a multiple archive search is consolidated
by the Federator Module into a single result list, which is displayed
through a standard Internet browser. However, although the Federator
Module displays the actual results list, the document retrieval
process bypasses the Federator Module and extracts the document
directly from the archive in which it resides.
"The advantage of this solution is that each
site can maintain its own archives, which is in many cases more
cost-effective than combining all information into one central
archive, and yet these archives are still available to company
employees at other locations," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes,
president of ZyLAB North America LLC. "So now organizations
with offices in different locations can research all of their
information with one query regardless of which ZyLAB archive the
information is stored.
