Updated appliance from Thunderstone

Thunderstone Software has released Version 6.3 of the Thunderstone Search Appliance for businesses, NGOs, governments and educational institutions.

The newest Appliance software enhancements, which apply to both the Thunderstone Search Appliance and the Thunderstone Parametric Search Appliance, include:

• DataLoad SOAP API,
• Search SOAP API, and
• Single Sign-On Authentication Helper for Windows environments.

The SOAP API allows users to more easily access the appliance programatically for the purpose of loading data and searching. It should integrate easily into any development environment that supports SOAP.

The Single Sign-On Authentication Helper lets the Appliance make use of ActiveDirectory-based authentication schemes for results authorization.

The Thunderstone Search Appliance is a plug-and-play device combining the simplicity of a hosted service with the security and performance of a local solution. Built on Thunderstone's Texis software, the appliance can handle more than 1,000 typical queries a minute.
