In the past five years, IS 339 has moved off of New York State's failing schools list, and its students have moved from 9% to 60% on grade level in math, and from 12% to 40% on grade level in literacy.</span></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br />When you combine Google Apps and inspirational educators, the results speak for themselves: </span><span style="background-color: rgb(244, 204, 204);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">ease of collaboration and innovation.

I'm here with Arron Privatsky, System Administrator for Serena. Serena is a leading provider of software to accelerate application development. Because we are software experts, it&#8217;s no surprise that we are always looking for the best solutions.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">For us, it was becoming increasingly clear that our messaging infrastructure was lacking. Inbox storage space was a constant complaint. Server maintenance was extremely time-consuming, and backups were inconsistent. Then we found that &#8211; calculating additional licenses of Microsoft Exchange, client access licenses for users, disaster recovery software, and additional disk storage space to increase mailbox quotas to 1.5GB &#8211; staying with our existing provider would have cost us upwards of $1 million. That was a nearly impossible number to justify with executives.<br /><br />We thought about replacing our on-premise solution, but to tell the truth, we were skeptical. I, personally, had been a Microsoft admin for 15 years, and Microsoft technologies were ingrained in my thought processes. But Google Apps provided many pluses: Gmail, Google&#8217;s Postini messaging security software and 25 GB of mailbox space, as well as greater uptime and 24/7 phone support.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Apps also offered reliable mobile access and included other Google productivity and collaboration applications, such as Google Docs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations &#8211; all at $50 per user per year. The cost savings would amount to a whopping $750,000 per year. All this added up to the ability to save the company money and to transition to a more advanced, flexible infrastructure.<br /><br />Once we selected Google Apps, we decided on a &#8220;Big Bang&#8221; migration. Employees would switch over on their own, migrating their old emails to Gmail if they chose to, or simply starting with a clean inbox. We did not support local email clients, opting to support only the Gmail web interface through Mozilla Firefox to best accommodate the company's mixed Linux, Mac and PC environment.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">We also enlisted four small groups of early adopters who would try the Google solution first, and then assist IT and support their peers during the full-scale migration. We used a lot of Google&#8217;s existing support documents to help us during the migration.<br /><br />The overall move to Google Apps took all of six hours. We waited for the phones to ring, but all we heard was silence &#8211; in fact, we sat there playing meebo for quite a while &#8211; and still, nothing happened.

The planning resources help IT administrators, project planners, and others become familiar with all the Google Apps features and tools available, determine a deployment strategy, and track deployment activities.<br /><br />We also describe our Google Guides Program, a peer-to-peer technical support methodology, which can make your deployment easier. Whether you choose to handle deployment entirely in-house or enlist the aid of a <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Google Solutions Provider</span>, we think you'll find these planning resources essential for understanding the deployment process and ensuring a successful outcome.</span></div> </div> <div style="font-family:arial;"> <span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span> </div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> At Google, we believe that better communication leads to better results, so we've also designed a host of user adoption resources to make it easier for businesses to communicate to their users. For example, our communications and quick-start templates can be quickly customized based on both the platform from which users are migrating (Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes) and the features being enabled, and our eLearning videos can help users get up to speed at their own pace.<br /><br />Here's a look at our current set of resources:<br /></span> </div> <div style="font-family:arial;"> <span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span> </div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center;" id="f38q"><span style="font-size:100%;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/File?id=dc2wwcqc_2cwr2z4fn_b" style="width: 515px; height: 376px;" /></span></div> </div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span> </div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> But this is just the beginning.

We've packed it full of so many new features that it's difficult to even count them. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Check out the videos linked below to see some highlights, and I'll tell you how we got to this point -- the origins of (GSA)</span><span style="vertical-align: super;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">n</span></span>.<br /><br /><a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/search/gsa.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342746826164905874" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/SiU_7mpnp5I/AAAAAAAAAGU/USVMkqys5gQ/s400/gsa:n.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 246px;"></a><br />As you might know, last August, we launched "<u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y29FhWPER4" id="jf2u" title="10 million docs in a box">10 million docs in a box</a> </span></u>". Building on the premise of scale with simplicity, we (the engineering team) challenged ourselves to see how much further we could go, while still keeping the architecture extremely simple. After many late-night sessions spent diagramming on the whiteboards and chugging cappuccinos, we had a breakthrough.<br /><br />The end result was a new architecture: (GSA)<sup>n</sup>. When we tested it out, the product manager was pretty excited about all the <u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioesRtK52rc" id="j2ds" title="new features">new features</a></span></u> and search power. He was used to hearing about the millions of docs we could handle &#8211; but this time we were going to push it to a new realm: <b>billions</b>.<br /><br />The idea was simple; build technology to connect as many appliances as you'd like, whether in one location or separated across departments or even across continents - and still provide a unified set of results to the end-user &#8211; the employee searching for an elusive document or piece of information. This would not only give our customers unparalleled ability to scale, but enable them to integrate all the data in their organizations. Information doesn&#8217;t do you much good if you can&#8217;t find it! That was our guiding principle. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>One of our beta customers, MTCSC Inc., really needs the geographic integration. When we caught up with them, MTCSC was in the midst of deploying over 50 GSAs all over the world for a federal customer, connecting to over 2,500 data sources and consisting of data on websites, file shares, databases, and SharePoint servers. The new GSA 6.0 architecture is now helping them integrate information from the varied data centers to provide users with a single, unified set of results.<br /><br />So imagine there is a database that might &#8220;live&#8221; in Egypt, some documents in a data center in Sydney, and a fileshare whose homebase is Los Angeles. The new GSA 6.0 integration can handle searching through all those data stores and give the employee who is looking a simple page of search results &#8211; one that looks as easy to use as Google.com &#8211; even though the backend search is really complicated. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>And, since we were feeling ambitious, we added a Ranking Framework (where administrators can easily feed in server logs and other enterprise-specific information to improve relevance of search results), multiple new biasing options, and an administrative API to provide more control for automation of common tasks. We also added support for both early binding and late binding, providing organizations with flexible security policies to meet their needs.<br /><br />The bottom line: safer, higher-quality, more customizable enterprise search with (GSA)<sup>n</sup>. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>This morning, both Google and our customers, including MTCSC, spoke at an event on all the new developments leading to (GSA)<sup>n </sup>and the 6.0 version. We talked so much about searching a billion documents, we decided to try something we&#8217;ve never seen done before: set up and showcase the <i>actual </i>infrastructure required to search a billion docs, and you can <u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE0KNvECG2s" id="co62" title="see it here">see it here</a></span></u>. It is surprisingly small and simple, and pretty cool to know that we can now take the amount of content in the entire Google.com index in the year 2000 (when Google.com was searching though just a billion docs), and pack it into a server rack built that could fit in the corner of my living room. And I have a normal-sized living room.<br /><p class="MsoNormal">Posted by Shamim Alpha, Enterprise Search Engineer </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p>Learn more about the Google Search Appliance 6.0 at <a href="//www.google.com/gsa" id="pvxx" title="google.com/gsa">google.com/gsa</a> </script> <noscript> Today we're announcing the launch of the latest version of the Google Search Appliance, <a href="//google.com/gsa" id="do4v" title="GSA 6.0">GSA 6.0</a>. We've packed it full of so many new features that it's difficult to even count them. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Check out the videos linked below to see some highlights, and I'll tell you how we got to this point -- the origins of (GSA)</span><span style="vertical-align: super;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">n</span></span>.<br /><br /><a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/search/gsa.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342746826164905874" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/SiU_7mpnp5I/AAAAAAAAAGU/USVMkqys5gQ/s400/gsa:n.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 246px;"></a><br />As you might know, last August, we launched "<u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y29FhWPER4" id="jf2u" title="10 million docs in a box">10 million docs in a box</a> </span></u>". Building on the premise of scale with simplicity, we (the engineering team) challenged ourselves to see how much further we could go, while still keeping the architecture extremely simple. After many late-night sessions spent diagramming on the whiteboards and chugging cappuccinos, we had a breakthrough.<br /><br />The end result was a new architecture: (GSA)<sup>n</sup>. When we tested it out, the product manager was pretty excited about all the <u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioesRtK52rc" id="j2ds" title="new features">new features</a></span></u> and search power. He was used to hearing about the millions of docs we could handle &#8211; but this time we were going to push it to a new realm: <b>billions</b>.<br /><br />The idea was simple; build technology to connect as many appliances as you'd like, whether in one location or separated across departments or even across continents - and still provide a unified set of results to the end-user &#8211; the employee searching for an elusive document or piece of information. This would not only give our customers unparalleled ability to scale, but enable them to integrate all the data in their organizations. Information doesn&#8217;t do you much good if you can&#8217;t find it! That was our guiding principle. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>One of our beta customers, MTCSC Inc., really needs the geographic integration. When we caught up with them, MTCSC was in the midst of deploying over 50 GSAs all over the world for a federal customer, connecting to over 2,500 data sources and consisting of data on websites, file shares, databases, and SharePoint servers. The new GSA 6.0 architecture is now helping them integrate information from the varied data centers to provide users with a single, unified set of results.<br /><br />So imagine there is a database that might &#8220;live&#8221; in Egypt, some documents in a data center in Sydney, and a fileshare whose homebase is Los Angeles. The new GSA 6.0 integration can handle searching through all those data stores and give the employee who is looking a simple page of search results &#8211; one that looks as easy to use as Google.com &#8211; even though the backend search is really complicated. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>And, since we were feeling ambitious, we added a Ranking Framework (where administrators can easily feed in server logs and other enterprise-specific information to improve relevance of search results), multiple new biasing options, and an administrative API to provide more control for automation of common tasks. We also added support for both early binding and late binding, providing organizations with flexible security policies to meet their needs.<br /><br />The bottom line: safer, higher-quality, more customizable enterprise search with (GSA)<sup>n</sup>. <p class="MsoNormal"></p>This morning, both Google and our customers, including MTCSC, spoke at an event on all the new developments leading to (GSA)<sup>n </sup>and the 6.0 version. We talked so much about searching a billion documents, we decided to try something we&#8217;ve never seen done before: set up and showcase the <i>actual </i>infrastructure required to search a billion docs, and you can <u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE0KNvECG2s" id="co62" title="see it here">see it here</a></span></u>.
