NEW! Corporate Information Memory: A “Data-centric” Solution to Today’s Data Management Challenge
SAND/DNA Corporate Information Memory, when implemented as an extension to existing enterprise data warehouse architectures, enables organizations to guarantee satisfaction of all Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with users, and at the same time to keep Total Cost of Ownership under control by minimizing hardware, time and administrative resource requirements.
Intelligent Information Management with SAND/DNA: Maintaining Data Warehouse Service Levels In the Face of Exploding Data Volumes
SAND/DNA provides an ideal solution for organizations that need to store massive amounts of data so that it is ready for rapid retrieval and analysis, because it not only provides a very high degree of data compression, but also permits the data to be easily searched in its compressed state. Because only the required information is decompressed, processing bottlenecks are minimized – bringing not only greatly reduced costs, but also the ability to guarantee continued high levels of analytic service in the face of the data explosion.
SAND/DNA for SAP Business Information Warehouse: Removing the Data Archive Bottleneck
While there are a number of archiving options for SAP BW, the ability of these solutions to lower overall administrative costs while providing rapid access to archival data has been limited. One solution, from SAP development and integration partner SAND Technology, appears to solve both problems. Enterprise Applications Consulting's review of SAND Dynamic Nearline Access (SAND/DNA), a new Powered by NetWeaver offering from SAND Technology, targeted at SAP Business Information Warehouse implementations, reveals a unique and creative way to solve the problems endemic to archiving a data warehouse.

SAND/DNA aCRM: Integrated Customer Insight: Moving Beyond Siloed Approaches to Customer Relationship Initiatives
In today's business environment, where market differentiation based on products is becoming more and more difficult to achieve, the value of implementing a cross-departmental, "customer-centric" solution has never been higher. Companies that replace the siloed approach to customer relationship management with unlimited cross-departmental customer analytics are able to understand exactly which products and services will be attractive to which customers - resulting in increased response rates and greater revenue from campaigns. This, together with the more satisfying customer experience offered by organizations that can manage "total" customer relationships in an optimized, coordinated, and consistent way, promotes heightened customer loyalty leading to increased customer retention rates over the long term.
SAND/DNA Access: Incrementally Scalable Nearline Solution (Sun Microsystem Grid Platform)
The benchmark results described in this paper demonstrate linear or better scalability with very high performance. They show that the SAND incrementally scalable nearline storage solution coupled with a blade or grid computing architecture is the perfect way to achieve the level of "on-demand" performance that customers are currently looking for. The dynamic configuration of this solution enables processing power to be shared between applications, and demonstrates the potential for an environment in which processing power can be treated as a simple commodity.
