Aspire Enterprise is intended for production-quality, enterprise level implementations of Aspire for content acquisition, document processing, and query processing. It includes additional features that Aspire Community does not, such as document level security for connectors and distributed processing for high-speed, content sources crawl failover over multiple Aspire servers, high-volume operations where Aspire is run on multiple nodes.
System administration of Aspire Enterprise can be done via a web-based System Administration user interface, which requires no programming knowledge to use. Administrators can easily stop and start Aspire servers, add new content sources, install new Aspire applications, schedule crawls, and monitor crawl statistics as data is indexed into your search engine of choice.
