Is your company using Microsoft FAST ESP on a Linux platform? Many companies have enjoyed the power of Microsoft FAST ESP as their search platform. Unfortunately, Microsoft announced in 2010 they will cease technical support for FAST ESP 5.3 after it's 5 year life cycle for anyone using Linux as their operation system. Migration to another search platform will be a priority, and business leaders and technology professionals are looking closely at Lucene Solr as a solution.

TNR Global has presented on the subject of FAST ESP to Lucene Solr migrations for the Lucene Revolution Conference in Boston, MA (December 2010) and at the Apache Lucene Eurocon Barcelona (October 2011). We will be releasing a new White Paper on Microsoft FAST ESP to Lucene Solr migration in January 2012, based on the latest version of Solr: Solr 3.4.0. To receive a copy of our anticipated free White Paper on Microsoft FAST ESP to Lucene Solr, email fast2solr@tnrglobal.com with the subject heading "FAST ESP to Solr."
