Montreal, Canada – January 13, 2009 – SAND Technology Inc. (OTCBB: SNDTF.OB), an international provider of information management software and best practices today announced it has completed integration between its SAND/DNA Access product suite and EMC Centera CAS.

SAND/DNA Access is designed to help organizations of any size cope with the challenges of the information explosion. It provides a highly compact, searchable repository that can store terabytes, even petabytes of information which is immediately accessible for querying and reporting, maintaining easy information accessibility.
