Many websites require you to enter contact information in order to download software or papers. Enkive doesn't. This minimizes your frustration and saves us the effort of separating valid from bogus contact information. We do give you the option to register for an automatic update. We will not give your data away to anyone.

Release History

Release 1.0 features

  • Enkive 1.0 is the result of a significant re-architecting effort that reduced the memory footprint and increased the speed of archival and retrieval by orders of magnitude. This, in turn, offers increased flexibility in terms of hardware requirements. Furthermore, the new architecture positions Enkive so that future versions can run on clusters and in the cloud. Last but not least, it simplified the installation and configuration process.
    We achieved these results in part by transitioning from an Alfresco storage and
    indexing back-end, to a new custom storage and indexing system. Storage and indexing are now abstract processes in Enkive. For Enkive 1.0, the indexing engine is Indri (UMass) and the object storage engine is MongoDB. Both are open source.
  • Enkive 1.0 includes tools for seamless migration from the prior release of the software.
