Google Search Appliance Replacement

Google has discontinued their Search Appliance, meaning current GSA customers need to find a replacement once license renewals end in 2018. Thunderstone offers a Google Search Appliance alternative that can do more than just replace your outgoing search technology.

Thunderstone provides a pair of Google alternatives: a plug-and-play Search Appliance and a more customizable Parametric Search Appliance. Both options can handle anything from 20,000 to tens of millions of records and are backed by Thunderstone’s unmatched tech support.
