Start-up Search Engine Quertle Selects Codero Hosting, Increases Performance 1600%

Dedicated hosting service provides amplified speed and power for specialty search engines

AUSTIN, TEXAS, DECEMBER 9, 2014 — The leading provider of on-demand hybrid cloud hosting
services, Codero Hosting is powering the Quertle biomedical search engine with a rock solid hybrid
cloud hosting environment. Rather than the vague results delivered by well-known search engine
giants – who provide anything that might be relevant – Quertle searches return actually relevant
results so physicians and medical researchers immediately find the information needed. While
biomedical is the initial focus for Quertle, the company is seeking partnerships to extend its versatile
contextual and semantic search capabilities to other verticals such as legal and finance, providing an
innovative and meaningful alternative to the giant search engines, which are often less effective for
industry-specific searches.

Quertle goes beyond simple term matching to identify the most salient information in the literature.
Using a combination of linguistic and statistical methods, Quertle finds concept-based facts defined
within documents, creating its own database of about 300 million relationships, and is able to rapidly
report the documents that are relevant to user queries. Quertle's NLM award-winning approach was
built from the ground up to address the unique needs of technical literature. Quertle’s ontology is built
with search and retrieval in mind, as compared with ontologies designed purely for classification
which are not as capable of returning the most relevant documents.

“Prior to working with Codero, the necessary batch process of applying linguistic rules to all
referenced documents took nearly 82 hours. With Codero’s bare metal servers, this same process
now takes less than five hours – a 1600% increase in performance!” said Jeffrey Saffer, Quertle's
President. “Our previous experiences with other hosting providers – cloud and dedicated alike –
taught us what we absolutely needed. As experts in search, our hunt for a hosting provider that
matched up to our stringent performance needs, coupled with excellent customer support, led us to
Codero and our earlier performance issues and bottlenecks are completely eliminated. Now we can
focus on taking our innovative search technology to market and showing the world a better way to
‘search’.”

In Quertle’s case, the volume of the data and complexity of the search engine required to parse
through the data so that results are contextually significant, requires a computational and I/O
architecture with no performance bottlenecks. This lead Quertle to seek a hosting partner that has a
scalable, high-performance compute infrastructure powered by high-end dedicated bare metal
servers.

“Our success is based on that of our customers, and we are thrilled to see Quertle successfully
reinventing search technology. Contextual, topical search such as Quertle’s is the future of search
technology and requires the right type of compute power,” said Emil Sayegh, CEO and President of
Codero Hosting. “Other cloud-based solutions were not right for Quertle, and the cost structures for
typical dedicated hosting were unaffordable. We are proud to be able to put the power of our
automated bare metal dedicated and hybrid cloud infrastructure at Quertle’s service to help them
compete and win. It is innovators like the Quertle team that we at Codero aim to partner with and
empower.”
