Inktomi is an organization which specializes in the design and marketing of network infrastructure applications including enterprise search engines. The goal of the organization is to produce stable and efficient products that will allow end-users to complete tasks easily.
The cost varies for Inktomi depending upon how many documents need to be indexed. For 3000 or less the cost is $2995. If there are between 3000 and 10000 documents in the organization the cost is $7495. For organizations with more than 10000 documents the cost changes regularly so pricing must be discussed with the sales group. Before spending this large sum of money, however, it is possible to download a free thirty day trial. There are also add ons which can make Inktomi even more powerful but they cost extra.
