Velocity 7.5 marks Vivisimo's most significant step in extending the power of
Velocity for partners and customers looking to build and deliver search
centric applications. By building out and expanding the open API layer,
Vivisimo is providing customers, OEMs, partners and systems integrators
greater access to the entire Velocity architecture and its rich feature set.
These organizations can now leverage the search development platform to add
value to existing applications and develop new solutions that take advantage
of the volumes of information assets within every enterprise.

"Earlier this year we announced a deliberate strategic plan to unleash the
power of Velocity as a development platform for partners and customers," said
John M. Kealey, CEO of Vivisimo. "Today, through the release of Velocity 7.5,
we've come full circle on delivering on that strategy."

Velocity 7.5 also provides partners and direct customers with a search
development platform that provides extreme scale and a minimal footprint,
resulting in lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Through a set of innovative
new features in scalability, organizations facing increasing regulatory
requirements are able to search and find information across large amounts of
data stored in archives and backup systems.

"The need for search solutions will increase as the amount of data generated
and retained within enterprises continues to grow exponentially," states Brian
Babineau, senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). "With this
escalating demand, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and System Integrators
(SIs) must build applications and comprehensive solutions that incorporate
advanced data retrieval capabilities."

Vivisimo has proven its market leadership as an information access partner by
being the driving technology under the covers of several of the leading email
archiving, eDiscovery, and information management solutions. Within the past
three months, Vivisimo has announced new partnerships with LexisNexis and ASG
Software Solutions. LexisNexischose Vivisimo as the search platform to power
their Concordance eDiscovery and litigation document management solution.
ASGannounced that it will be embedding Velocity into its ASG-ViewDirect®
E-mail Manager solution.

"ASG customers trust us to deliver the best solutions on the market for their
long-term archiving and content management needs," said Theresa Kollath,
senior director of product management at ASG. "With the powerful search
capabilities Velocity brings to ASG-ViewDirect E-mail Manager, we're confident
that we can do the same for their discovery and compliance initiatives."

Highlights of Velocity 7.5 include:

Extensibility via Additional SOAP/REST APIs
This new release further opens a rich set of SOAP/REST APIs for both embedding
the Velocity search engine as well as building new applications to take
advantage of the search development platform.

Scalability via On-Demand Index Management
Archiving and storage applications require data retrieval solutions that can
support searching 1 billion emails on a single server. Velocity 7.5
introduces a new approach to scalability focused on utilizing the given RAM on
a single machine. With on-demand index management, Velocity can intelligently
swap collections in and out of memory to ensure the maximum amount of content
can be stored on a single server to deliver extreme scalability.

Improved Performance via Triple Data Compression
When embedding search into a 3rd party application, it is critical to have a
small index size in order to reduce the overall footprint and hardware
requirement, resulting in higher efficiencies and lower total cost of
ownership. Velocity 7.5's hybrid approach to data compression reduces the
overall index to 5 to 10 percent of the original data size without loss of
functionality.

Traceable Accuracy
Within eDiscovery and compliance applications it is required that a user can
confirm each file that is or is not part of the searchable index to confirm
complete collections of data. With Velocity 7.5, new traceable accuracy
metrics can accurately prove and defend that all data has been crawled and
identify any documents that were not indexed due to corrupt file types.
