Lookeen Enterprise Server

The centralized search solution for businesses

Lookeen Enterprise Server is the server-based version of the Lookeen Engine. It was developed for medium to large enterprises and organizations with high data volumes and is particularly suited for VDI environments, remote desktop architectures, and distributed infrastructures.

Unlike the desktop version, indexing is performed centrally on a dedicated server. Your employees’ PCs remain unaffected – no local computing power required, no performance loss at the workstation.

The server automatically captures all access permissions from your file systems and email environments. Each user sees only the content they are authorized to access in their search results – without any manual configuration.

Choose the access method that best fits your infrastructure and workflows:

  • With Client: Search directly from Outlook, local opening of emails and files
  • Without Client: Purely browser-based search via SSL-encrypted web interface – no installation required
  • Hybrid: Combination of server and local search results for maximum coverage

Lookeen Enterprise Server gives you full sovereignty over your data and deployment:

  • On-Premise Installation: Your data stays within your infrastructure
  • Air-Gapped Mode: Complete isolation with AI functionality disabled
  • Internet Access Optional: You decide whether and how the server should be externally accessible
  • Comprehensive Group Policies: Absolute customization for your enterprise requirements

Built to handle the demands of large-scale enterprise environments:

  • Volume: Handles several million folders and files
  • Scalability: 1 to 10,000 users on Microsoft 365
  • Indexing Speed: Several terabytes per day

The solution is designed for organizations that require centralized, secure, and scalable search:

  • Medium to large enterprises with centralized IT infrastructure
  • Organizations with VDI and remote desktop environments
  • Companies with strict data privacy and compliance requirements
  • IT departments that need centralized control over search functionality

Installation and Operation

Lookeen Enterprise Server is installed on-premise on a dedicated server within your infrastructure. All indexing performance runs centrally – your employees access the search function either through the Lookeen Enterprise Client or directly via their browser.

Upon request, we also support you with installation and operation in a private cloud environment.
