Case Study
The Problem
- Data warehouse containing 5 TB of production data, projected to grow to 20 TB within five years
- Requirement to retain very granular data (SAP BW PSA Data, ODS Objects and InfoCubes)
- Expected deterioration in query performance
- Maintaining multiple instances of data replication for mirroring, backup and disaster recovery had significant impact on SLA’s.
Results with SAND/DNA for SAP BI
- ROI in less than six months (immediately after production go-live) and savings of over 50% on related storage infrastructure thereafter
- About 95% compression for PSA Data, ODS Objects and InfoCubes
- Noticeable improvement in query performance
- Reduced data footprint eases replication / bandwidth issues
- Clear path for SAP BW growth
- Users can access data with no need for additional training.
