| Omnidex Grids are a feature of the Omnidex product line that allow large databases to be distributed across multiple processors or servers. This improves performance by allowing a query to be processed on the fewest nodes possible using multiple concurrent processors. This approach allows great scalability and provides convenient mechanisms for adding new data to the database. | Omnidex Grids are a feature of the Omnidex product line that allow large databases to be distributed across multiple processors or servers.

| - | An Omnidex Grid consists of one or more computers used in combination to satisfy Omnidex queries. Some Omnidex Grids are placed on one or more large, multi-processor computers. Other Omnidex Grids are placed on an array of inexpensive, commodity, desktop PC’s. Both types of grids perform well, and each has distinct advantages. | + | An Omnidex Grid consists of one or more computers used in combination to satisfy Omnidex queries.

| An Omnidex Grid can also ease the process of absorbing new data. In some installations, new data can be placed in a new node on the grid. This allows the new node to be indexed without having to re-index the entire database. In very large databases, this can make a tremendous difference in performance. | An Omnidex Grid can also ease the process of absorbing new data.
