Operational Impact
Sub-second search: The result for users of the site - the public - is a quick, Google-like search experience for a remarkable collection of documents written over 200 years ago. | |
Leverage existing IT resources: By using data mapping to look at aggregate groups of documents, the customer was able to avoid irrelevant results and information bottlenecks to return results quickly and accurately. It also built on previous programming, using existing switches to duplicate processes already in place. | |
Better data insight: The customer created a static index of previous search results, and prepopulated it before public launch with the most common search terms and links. Now, when a known search term is entered into the system, it simply serves up those existing results, instead of crawling through each stored document again. And the more people who use the system, the richer that stored search cache becomes. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Cut the response time for a large, 90-page document from 19 seconds to just 1.86 milliseconds. | |
When concurrent load increased to 5,000 users - or 50x projected capacity during initial testing - average response was still just 120 milliseconds. | |
