Google Search Appliance: Feet on the Ground, Head in the Cloud

If your company has followed the ‘yellow brick’ road to use a Google Search Appliance to allow information held on its corporate networks to be searched using Google technology, then you may be happy to know that Google is thinking outside of the box with this latest addition – Cloud Connect.
