High Scalability for Semantic Indexes

Abstract

Ordo has developed the infrastructure to deal with the Big Data challenge. It allows an organization to semantically enrich and access large amounts of unstructured data. This infrastructure can be run on regular server hardware, with additional nodes added when the amount of data increases. However, adding additional nodes also increases the likelihood of malfunctioning nodes. Therefore, the infrastructure implements failover concepts. Data distribution within the infrastructure takes place without employing a central - and maybe failing - communication point. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
