CUTTING-EDGE ARCHITECTURE

Diskover’s cutting-edge backbone architecture.

Supercharged indexing.

Powered by Elasticsearch, Diskover delivers exceptional speed, reliability, flexibility, and scalability, making it capable of handling massive datasets with ease.

Diskover continuously scans disconnected data repositories in parallel, not sequentially, creating new indices for seamless data management. This allows you to search, analyze, and compare indices from different points in time, all within a single global view accessible through any web browser.

Take your first step towards efficiency

Storage and filesystem agnostic.

Out of the box, Diskover efficiently scans generic filesystems. However, in today’s complex IT architectures, files are often stored across a variety of repositories. To address this, Diskover provides a robust foundation for building alternate scanners, enabling comprehensive indexing of any file storage location.

These repositories often contain relevant additional metadata, which can be leveraged by adding it to the index. This enhanced metadata inclusion allows for more precise data management workflows and analysis, with the ultimate goal of reusing and optimizing your data storage solutions.

Maximum efficiency via optimized cached scanning.

Diskover customers utilizing optimized cached scanning report an average reduction of 50% to 75% in scan times for building subsequent indexes. Performance may vary depending on your infrastructure and storage type. This powerful feature is available exclusively in the Diskover annual subscription editions and is not included in the Community Edition.

Real-time control: access to the live data.

Diskover’s Live View File Action feature puts you in the driver’s seat with real-time control over your data. Instantly take action on your files directly from the Live View of pre-indexed data, streamlining data management like never before. Say goodbye to tedious file operations and hello to seamless, proactive data management—all from a single, intuitive interface.

Additional details that make Diskover exceptional.

→ Lightweight requirements (low CPU and RAM).
→ Well-suited solution for long-term asset preservation.
→ Accessible via your favorite web browser.
→ Supports any file types.
→ Non-proprietary, Diskover simply indexes your files’ metadata.

BENEFITS OF AN OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORM

The unlimited potential of open-source.

Benefits you won’t find anywhere else.

Built on open-source power.

Diskover leverages Elasticsearch, a highly scalable and widely adopted open-source search engine, enabling instant searches across massive datasets. Elasticsearch also plays a key role in indexing, offering limitless scalability and seamless plugin integration on a 100% open-source platform.

Diskover leverages Parquet to enable efficient data multistreaming into data lakes, ensuring seamless integration and optimized storage for structured and unstructured datasets.

Diskover’s open-source approach extends to its core and integrations, fostering transparency, trust, and adaptability. By embracing open-source technologies, Diskover empowers organizations to innovate more collaboratively and efficiently, enhancing agility in data management and beyond.

Reliability.

Open-source applications are built upon languages proven to be reliable, durable, and highly adaptable.

Security.

By its very nature, open source enables anyone to look for and fix security flaws, and since it’s peer-reviewed, it opens the software up to a large base of inspectors who can quickly detect issues.

Continuity.

When a software vendor holds your data hostage in a proprietary database and then goes out of business, most companies must scramble to find a quick replacement. Yet if an open-source vendor uses open-source databases, such as Elasticsearch, the customer’s data is never held hostage.

Flexibility.

Open-source software is flexible. You can take it, use it, and customize it to meet your specific needs.

With Diskover, sustainably, affordably, and efficiently manage the life cycle of all your data.

This is a good place to start.
