Data Explorer (Formerly Vivisimo)
- InfoSphere Data Explorer provides secure federated navigation and discovery across a broad range of enterprise content and big data to maximize return on information.
- By delivering information to the right people at the right time, InfoSphere Data Explorer ensures that organizations gain the full value of their data, enabling improved operations, real-time decisions, better understanding of customers, increased innovation and actionable insight.
- Federated navigation and discovery across a broad range of applications, data sources and file types. Includes access to enterprise applications such as content management systems, customer relationship management systems, supply chain management, e-mail systems, relational database management systems and more, as well as web pages and networked file systems.
- Access to non-indexed systems such as premium information services, supplier and partner portals and catalogs, and legacy applications. Results from these non-indexed sources can be merged with results from the InfoSphere Data Explorer index or kept separate.
- Rapid deployment of 360 degree information applications that combine structured, unstructured and semi-structured data to provide unique contextual views and insights which are not obvious when viewing data from a single source or repository.
- Highly relevant navigation results for precise discovery against both large and small structured and unstructured data sets. Relevance model accommodates diverse document sizes and formats while delivering consistent results.
- Sophisticated security model, including cross-domain and field-level security to ensure that users only see content they would be able to view if logged into the source application.
- Unique position-based index structure that is compact and versatile and enables features such as rapid refresh, real-time searching, field-level updates and security.
- Rich analytics, including clustering, categorization, entity and metadata extraction, faceted navigation, conceptual search, name matching and document de-duplication.
- Collaboration capabilities to enable users to tag, comment, organize and rate content to enhance navigation and discovery results for other users.
- Highly elastic, fully distributed architecture offering fault-tolerance, vertical and horizontal scalability, master-master replication and “shared nothing” deployment.
