Search over your IT Junk, and hosted/SaaS too

the Microsoft Office installs on your network.

Paglo Is "Google for IT"
by Kristen Nicole

Paglo unveils free IT infrastructure search engine
by Todd Weiss

types of content to search" beyond text, graphics and Web content. "I think this is another example of
that," Creese said. "I think it's useful because it ends up where we've sort of been trained to look at
different IT systems for data. Something like this brings it all together."

the concept can be shared."

IT Management Podcast
by RedMonk
Feb. 11, 2008- The summary is that all the fancy greek talk reduces down to
being able to quickly search over massive data sets. What's important here is that
previously un-usuable information streams are (potentially) usable if you "index" them.
Paglo IT Search and Management Released for Beta Testers
by Security Database
Feb. 9, 2008- As beta testers we have received a download notification from Paglo

Dec. 26, 2007- You have more devices, applications, and users to manage? Probably a bigger

computer on before calling you to ask why the machine is dead). Paglo make it easy for you.
More hints that IT systems analysis and on-demand models are coming together
by Dana Gardner
Dec. 3, 2007- Rather than rely on quasi-annual surveys by IT analyst firms, a broad Paglo audit
of large swaths of IT use and habits could take the guess work out of what IT is actually being used in
certain types of companies, and regions. That would be some mighty fine data, and could hold the IT vendors'
feet to the fire on their real penetration and use patterns.
Paglo the IT Search Engine Goes Beta
Nov. 25, 2007- Another interesting feature is the PQL (Paglo Query Language) language they have.
Much like FQL (Facebook's Query Language), it gives you control over what data you get and how you
want it. This allows IT professionals to share queries with each other and help each other find the best
means of retrieving certain data. Open platforms are definitely a plus!

imitation. Not only does it offer valuable search functionality, it also can be used to diagnose your
network, for free.

What's a Paglo?
by Glyn Moody
Nov. 19, 2007- Search has become the optic through which we see the digital world; applying it not just to traditional
information, but also to corporate IT data is eminently sensible. Things only got better when I found
out that the search engine crawler was open source (GNU GPL to be precise). This makes a lot of sense.
It means that people can add extra features to it to allow discovery of all kinds of new and whacky
hardware and software through the use of plugins; it also means that people are more likely to trust
it to wander around their intranets, gathering a lot of extremely sensitive information.

by Jan Harris
