Dell has strengthened its relationship with Google by agreeing to sell the search giant's corporate search appliances directly to its customers.

Interested customers can choose between the Google Search Appliance, which allows users to search for around 30 million documents and will set them back around $30,000, or the stripped down Google Mini, which crawls 300,000 documents and starts at $1,995.

The Appliance also supports searches on software such as databases and content managements systems, as opposed to just on websites and files shares as is the case with the Mini. Both search appliances are covered by Google warranty and support services.

Dell already manufactures the PowerEdge 2950 servers that the Google Search Appliances are built on, and the agreement continues the company's push to broaden its sale scope which has recently seen it offering Solaris Servers.

"Having the Google Search Appliance and Google Mini available from Dell bolsters our enterprise offerings and helps simplify the search engine process for our commercial and public customers," says Terry Klein, Dell vice president, Americas Advanced Solutions Group.

"Google's turnkey search appliances align well with Dell's priority to simplify information technology in the data center."
