SAND/DNA for Government
 

In today's world, effective government increasingly requires the ability to store, access and analyze very large volumes of data. The primary challenge is to find the right data and to make it responsive to user requirements. Whether it's responding to a fast-breaking demand from an elected representative or addressing the ongoing need for meaningful reports, the pressures of governing demand flexibility and performance, with a growing emphasis on productivity.

SAND/DNA enables customers in government to cost-effectively retain massive amounts of compressed data in a nearline repository for extended periods, in accordance with any applicable business rules and regulatory requirements and to rapidly retrieve just the information they need, whenever it is needed.

Case Study
A Department of the Government of Canada
The Challenge
A Canadian government department needed to implement a system that would enable high-performance ad hoc analytics and reporting against a large amount of financial data. However, the existing data warehouse was not able to handle ad-hoc queries run against very large data tables, and creating the indexes required to coax adequate performance out of this warehouse for such queries would require significant effort from a number of highly-skilled DBA's.
In fact, the existing system was already having trouble meeting the department's requirements for timely reports.
The Solution
The department implemented SAND/DNA alongside the main warehouse to provide efficient storage of the data for analysis and to support the required query and reporting functionality. This solution cost-effectively satisfied the urgent need of analysts for faster response to their ad hoc queries.
Overall benefits included: ease and speed of ad hoc reporting to satisfy complex reporting needs, efficiency and speed of loading large volumes of production data, and freeing of much-needed disk space on the department's mainframe system.
