A large agency of the US government was experiencing substantial growth in their SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) imple- mentation: already 5 TB in size, the data warehouse was expected to grow beyond 40 TB within four years. Since funding was limited, it was anticipated that continued growth of the data warehouse would soon lead to an unacceptable increase in infrastructure costs.

Working with a major system integrator, the a large US government agency selected SAND Nearline for SAP BW. It was chosen for its SAP certification, possibility of aggressive archiving at the Infocube, ODS and PSA levels, 85%+ compression of SAP BW data, no impact on end-user reporting, seamless access to nearline and online data, no additional end-user training required, excellent vendor support, and high projected return on investment (costs recovered within 18
months)
