Google Mini

As some of my friends already know, I'm currently working on knowledge management solution which helps organizations better organize and obtain their internal information. However, I really hope that our customers aren't aware of Google Mini (or Google Search Appliance). It is too easy to deploy, what you all need is that piece of good-looking hardware (see the picture) with power supplied and get it connected to your network. And, here you go. With a small piece of HTML code comes together with the hardware, you can start searching infomation using a web browser. The tool is able to crawl and index up to 280 types of document.

More importantly, it costs much lesser than the solution we're providing. For no doubt I'll have to work extra harder.
