Nuix Unstructured Data Indexing Engine Receives U.S. Patent Office Recognition of Its Unique Parallel Processing CapabilitiesSAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- Nuix (News - Alert), a worldwide provider of information management technologies, is due to be issued a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on core features of the Nuix unstructured data indexing engine, with additional patents pending. Nuix's unique parallel-processing approach to unstructured data has underpinned its rapid growth and success in the eDiscovery, investigation and information governance markets. "Nuix can index unstructured data faster than any other application on the market because it was designed from the outset for parallel processing," said Eddie Sheehy (News - Alert), CEO of Nuix. Approximately 80% of the data organizations store is unstructured-including email, other communications, documents and images. The highly complex systems that organizations use to store the largest volumes of unstructured data often have poor search and management capabilities-their contents are increasingly becoming "dark data." "Without Nuix's massively parallel processing technologies, organizations will find it extremely difficult to gain insights into enormous unstructured data sets quickly and thoroughly enough to achieve tangible, defensible business benefits," said Sheehy. The patent describes a unique combination of load balancing, fault tolerance and ntelligent processing technologies that enable Nuix to index vast quantities of unstructured data with forensic precision, even in complex storage repositories such as archives and compliance storage. These technologies maximize processing speed and scalability on a small hardware footprint, enabling rapid deployment of on-premise solutions. Current customer use cases include:
"The practical outcome of our parallel processing approach is customers start to see results within hours," said Sheehy. "They can complete in days or weeks tasks they previous thought impossible." Read more about Nuix's patented indexing engine About Nuix
