MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2007) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider
of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, today announced that ESG Lab, the
testing division of the Enterprise Strategy Group, has finalized an
extensive benchmarking of Kazeon's Information Server IS1200 and
Information Access Platform software, version 3. The Kazeon Information
Server was verified by ESG Lab as having an industry-leading price per
document ratio at less than a penny per document and the ability to crawl,
index and search at $4,300 per terabyte. The Kazeon Information Server was
also recognized as having numerous enterprise-class performance and
scalability advantages.
"Through innovative indexing, classification and search technology, Kazeon
has helped hundreds of customers drive out excess cost, risk and
productivity loss associated with the rapid growth of electronically stored
information to tackle the challenges of Legal Discovery, Compliance and
Data Privacy for less cost than traditional Enterprise Content Management
software," said Brian Garrett, ESG Lab.
ESG Lab performed a comprehensive set of tests looking for a variety of
electronically shared information management features, including
enterprise-wide performance and scalability, ease of implementation and
use, speed of scanning, indexing and search, crawl performance and the
ability to act upon data requests. ESG Lab testing confirmed that the
cost-effective Kazeon platform delivers the performance horsepower, extreme
scalability and deep discovery capabilities needed to meet the data
capacity and governance needs of even the largest of organizations.
"ESG Research indicates that the worldwide capacity of electronically
stored content will exceed 23,000 petabytes by 2010. The 'dollars per
document' pricing of existing solutions is unsupportable with this quantity
of information. A scalable solution that can bring these costs down to less
than $.01 per document will enable organizations to implement intelligent
indexing, classification, search and actions across all their ESI," said
Tony Palmer, ESG Lab. "ESG Lab verified impressive price/performance with a
single Kazeon Information Server appliance able to index 2,500 documents
per dollar and a cost as low as $4,300 per terabyte. This is anywhere from
half to an order of magnitude less than any competitive pricing ESG Lab was
able to obtain as of this writing."
Other highlights of the Information Server testing include:
-- The ability to be installed and running in just under 12 minutes;
-- Speed and efficiency, sustaining 1,500 files per second for metadata
and 700 files per second with search indexing;
-- Deep crawl performance of 47 MB/sec when scanning for content;
-- Sub-second response times for searches.
"This lab report is independent proof that Kazeon is well ahead of the
competition in terms of the requirements that matter most to enterprises --
the ability to quickly and easily get a solution up and running, low total
cost of ownership and unparalleled performance and scalability," said
Steven d'Alencon, Kazeon Vice President of Product Marketing.
