A particular focus of BSn is upon distributed information
management solutions based upon
In addition to its commercial products and services, BSn has since its founding actively supported the
development and deployment of GILS,
Z39.50 and WWW catalogue services and
technologies. Together with CNIDR,
Etymon Systems, Island Edge Research and
A/WWW Enterprises we have freely released code
to the public to advance the development of these services under a liberal license. This
code, particulary the Isearch public doctypes is the most widely deployed Z39.50 server
solution in the Internet today with servers in over 100 countries.

Isearch's "big brother" IB 2.0 features
a factor of over 100s of times better performance (on a P-II, 200 MB of HTML can be indexed in as little
as 20 minutes and search typically measured in tiny fractions of a second), better I/O and resource utilization (including
suitability for slow storage media such as
CDROM) as well as significant enhancements...

The New Rules of the Game for the Next Milenium:
BSn's Project Z3 is set to redefine the price point with a new
range of distributed S/R "plug-and-play" network appliances to be released in 1999.
IB 2.0's scalable and multiplatform design
means that the software goes where you are going: One can start on appliances or
low cost PC hardware and as needs develop
dimension all the way up to distributed clusters supporting S/R on Terabytes.
Implementor Id: 104
The fast speed of IB 2.0's engine combined with the decline in the cost of hardware now makes possible information
management products in a whole range
of applications previously prohibitively expensive. There is no reason why high performace search/retrieval
solutions should be so expensive. Even on low cost hardware one can today with IB 2.0
manage gigabytes of data.
