SAIC's TeraText Solutions signs strategic alliance agreement with HP.

TeraText Solutions, a division of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), announced recently that it has entered into strategic alliance agreement with HP. Under the terms of the agreement, HP will provide its federal sales organization with information on SAIC's TeraText Database Systems (DBS) and how it works with or complements HP's current solutions and services including HP Integrity servers featuring the Intel Itanium processor, running Linux.

TeraText DBS is a combination high-performance text database and search engine that provides the necessary functionality for storing, indexing, retrieving and delivering documents or XML-based records across an organization. The TeraText DBS is designed to manage very large, text-based collections. The product simultaneously can collect and make information available in real time while scaling to support thousands of concurrent users.

"The TeraText DBS on HP Integrity servers running Linux points to new possibilities in providing cost-effective, high-bandwidth solutions for multi- terabyte document collections," said Steve Rizzi, SAIC corporate vice president. "This agreement provides TeraText with the ability to offer services to an increased number of customers in the areas of intelligence gathering and analysis, collection, as well as dissemination of management information in the federal marketplace."

"Government agencies can realize a greater return on investment and improved performance results when deploying TeraText DBS on HP Integrity servers running Linux--a solution built on industry standards and open architectures," said Jim Weynand, vice president of Public Sector, Health and Education, Customer Solutions Group, HP.
