Information classification and management (ICM) startup Kazeon unveiled the fruits of its partnership with Google on Tuesday, an appliance aimed at extending enterprise search into the storage infrastructure.

The integration of Kazeon's Information Server IS1200 with Google OneBox for Enterprise gives users easier access to billions of files scattered across corporate servers, archives and disk-based backups, the companies say.

"Nobody in the marketplace today can support files of that magnitude," said Kazeon vice president of solution marketing Michael Marchi.

The integration of Kazeon's enterprise search and indexing product with the Google Search Appliance lets customers easily locate and retrieve sensitive data, comply with regulations and respond quickly to legal discovery requests, the companies say. Users can enter keywords and phrases into a familiar Google search interface and get the most relevant search results from data residing across globally distributed corporate network storage systems on the same screen with their Google results.

Sudhakar Muddu, CEO and co-founder of Kazeon, calls the product "very scalable, high-performance indexing and search uniquely designed for storage" that is "fully actionable."
