Pittsburgh based MaxxCAT™ Corporation was founded in 2007 to expand upon a growing niche in enterprise search solutions: the extreme performance, specialized hardware space. MaxxCAT™'s product line has grown from a single high performance machine, the original SB-250, to a comprehensive line of high availability, high performance, low cost solutions that address some of the leading edge requirements of today's search industry.

In addition to providing the highest performing search solutions at the lowest price points in the industry, MaxxCAT™ now offers expert integration services and managed hosting in multiple MaxxCAT™ owned/managed data centers. Our integration engineers and developers can help customers to quickly develop and deploy MaxxCAT™ based solutions in record time, and are a good way for customers to leverage their content and systems knowledge with a team of high performance implementers who have built the fastest low cost search appliances on the market.

The developers of MaxxCAT™ come from a search and systems integration background, so much of the design of the product line has been driven towards performance, simplicity and ease of integration. Some or all of these attributes are severely lacking in the legacy products that are offered by MaxxCAT™'s competitors. MaxxCAT™'s approach, a combination of special purpose off-the-shelf hardware ("gray box") and the highly optimized and open MaxxCAT™ software, pays big dividends in the overall price/performance metric, and allow our customers to capitalize on the elegant simplicity of a high performance hardware appliance that is easy to configure and use.

MaxxCAT™'s extensive list of features and capabilities is fueled by customer involvement in the development cycle, along with a continuous process of performance engineering, and a steadfast commitment to keep everything simple. The MaxxCAT™ API is robust, simple and supports user solutions that are as straightforward as searching one website with a single MaxxCAT™, to searching large aggregations of heterogeneous data from multiple sources including databases, websites, file systems and applications. Search solutions that run on a standalone SB-250 with 50,000 documents will run unmodified on a MaxxCAT™ cluster with 16 nodes serving 100,000,000 documents.

Privately held, financially stable with no debt, MaxxCAT™ has had 16 quarters of uninterrupted profitable growth, has an installed base that spans the globe and has become the acknowledged leader in high performance search hardware.
