Most large enterprises boast a decent-sized content repository, and if your company deals in high-volume transaction processing like check handling, it reaches another level. Still, no matter how high your volume may be, chances are you aren't dealing with the mega volume that Google has to worry about. Google reached a true milestone last week when it indexed its one trillionth page; a mind-boggling number that shows just what the company is up against when indexing the open web. That Google's indexing capabilities can scale to such heights is very impressive, but what really is amazing about this number is that it doesn't end there; instead, it just keeps growing (some say infinitely) into the future. So stop complaining about your company's content problem. Nothing is impossible, even a trillion pages.
