The Data Warehouse Challenge

The world of analytic data warehousing is facing complex new challenges. Not only are data volumes increasing exponentially, and legal requirements for retention of detailed historical data becoming more extensive, but users are placing much greater analytic demands on the data warehouse then ever before, requiring easy access to comprehensive, detailed and up-to-date information about the business to guide crucial decisions.

The SAND/DNA Access Solution

SAND/DNA Access is designed to help organizations of any size cope with the challenges of the data explosion. It provides a highly compact, searchable nearline repository that can store terabytes, even petabytes, of data in typically less than 15 percent of the space required by an equivalent standard data warehouse based on RDBMS technology. At the same time, any of this nearline data is immediately accessible for querying and reporting, or for fast extraction back into SAND/DNA Analytics or any standard data warehouse.

Atos Origin

Customer Success

Atos Origin is a leading European systems integration consulting company, charged with providing analytics on a complex set of railway transportation billing data for the UK Rail Settlement Plan (RSP).

Business Challenge

Atos Origin's mandate was to keep 10 years' worth of data and perform the analytics necessary to understand what should be cross-charged among the associated facility owners. Data for the most recent 401 days was to reside online, while all older data had to be archived and ready for quick restoration if requested. It was estimated that with a traditional warehouse close to 15 TB of storage would be required over the period of the contract.

SAND/DNA Solution

A SAND/DNA solution was set up to automatically archive all billing data older than 401 days in SAND/DNA Access, resulting in a footprint that was 5% of the raw data size. Users who need access to the older data submit their request to the system, which extracts the required data set and loads it into SAND/DNA Analytics, where it is available for high-performance analytics for a specified period. With this solution, the projected size of the archive over the contract period has been reduced to 700 GB.
