“SAPPHIRE attracts professionals who are serious about accelerating innovation and growth within their companies, and we are very pleased to be participating with several of our key partners in demonstrating our complementary solutions,” said Linda Arens, vice president, marketing and global alliances, for SAND Technology. “We also look forward to showcasing our information management software as it applies to SAP data warehouses in the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Pavilion.”

SAND Technology’s SAND/DNA™ product for use with SAP NetWeaver BI is specifically designed to complement the data lifecycle management capabilities available to organizations as their data warehouse solutions grow in size. With SAND/DNA, users can move infrequently used data into a nearline repository, where it is stored in a highly compressed format while remaining easily accessible without uncompressing. As a result, storage costs are reduced without compromising users’ ability to access granular historical data.
