Endeca: Searching on the Cutting Edge

Endeca developers optimize their search technology for the latest Intel® processors, potentially boosting performance by 10 times
Organizations in retail, digital media, manufacturing, distribution, government, and other fields are implementing Endeca search and business intelligence technology to gain fast, easy access to information and to generate key insights from rapidly growing collections of data. To maximize the achievable performance of Endeca software on customer systems, the company’s engineers adopted the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series as the target processing architecture for software development. With Endeca software optimized to capitalize on the new architecture, customers could experience 10 times better performance while using less hardware.

Challenges
• Maximize search performance. Optimize Endeca software for the latest processors so customers can quickly and easily perform more complex queries on larger data sets.
• Accelerate software development. Adopt software tools that can help rapidly analyze and tune code.
Solutions
• Servers with Intel Xeon processors. Endeca developers adopted the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series as the target architecture for software development.
• Intel® software tools. Developers use Intel® VTune™ Performance Analyzer to fine-tune code.
Impact
• Improved search performance. By optimizing software for the latest Intel® architecture, Endeca developers will help companies search and analyze approximately 10 times more data in the same amount of time, all while using less hardware.
• Accelerated software development. Intel software tools help software engineers fine-tune code rapidly.
• New customers and partners. Stronger, more efficient search performance could attract new customers and encourage software companies to develop new products for the Endeca search platform.
