Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Best Products: Information management

By Christine Burns, Network World, 02/27/06

Winning company: Google

Winning product: Google search appliance

In what used to be a category strictly applied to storage gear, we now include new and interesting products that can help enterprises navigate data sitting on storage gear. The Google Search Appliance - our winner in this newly designated Information Management category - is a case in point.

Our test showed that Google has successfully packaged its popular Internet search technology into an easy-to-use search engine for corporate intranets and public-facing business sites. However, the new enterprise-focused Google Search Appliance could use a bit of polish to make it more appealing to veteran network professionals.

Network World Lab Alliance partner Thomas Powell gave the search tool 4.35 out of 5 points, saying the appliance is easy to configure and maintain. He also liked it because of the underlying, highly accurate, crawler-driven engine. The crawler is capable of indexing 220 types of content. "We saw no limitation in the crawler and found that the device tended to discover files that we were not aware of in some test data sets," Powell notes.

Information Management finalists

 

 

Since we tested the appliance last summer, Google released updated versions of the box focused on performance and scalability. All appliance models received enhancements in crawl speed, processing and query volumes, while the clustered models (specifically the GB-5005 and GB-8008) also were upgraded to support greater document capacities.

Google says it will roll out another software upgrade later this year aimed at improving the user experience. The upgrade should improve search quality and speed, increase the types of searchable content, and boost the types of authentication and authorization systems with which the appliance can interoperate, the company says.

Google's Enterprise division experienced strong market growth last year, amassing about 50 new customer installations. Among corporate users are the city of Toronto, in Canada; DuPont, ING, Ingersoll Rand and the Ministry of Defense in the United Kingdom.
