Convera technology solutions are built on a complex multi-level architecture, including:

•    Convera’s Search Platform is designed to serve a daily throughput of millions of queries at sub-second response times. Publishers rely on this application for a massively scalable, high performance search platform that delivers completely customized search experiences for target audiences.  It currently consists of thousands of  servers, supported by petabytes of storage spread for redundancy purposes across multiple Tier 1 co-hosting locations.  It is capable of supporting hundreds of simultaneous vertical search applications provided under 24x7 service level agreements.

•    Convera’s Ad Platform is designed to serve all types of ads including banners, category sponsorships, keyword sponsorships, directory listings, and house ads.
