The Data Warehouse Challenge
New legal regulations, evolving data provisioning requirements, mergers, acquisitions and other developments can produce a significant increase in the volume and diversity of the data that organizations need to manage. The resulting "data explosion" has a direct impact on the manageability, performance and cost of maintaining a data warehouse. Studies demonstrate that less than 30 percent of the data kept in data warehouses is actively used, and that maintaining large amounts of inactive data in a data warehouse can significantly compromise performance in terms of both query processing and administrative operations such as index reorganization, batch process execution and backups.
The SAND/DNA Access Solution
The SAND/DNA Access Nearline and true ILM approach, integrated seamlessly into your current IBM DB2 UDB architecture, is the solution to these problems. Rooted in the idea of architectural evolution rather than rip-and-replace revolution, it creates a flexible and cost-effectively scalable database extension to your existing warehouse.
The Business Intelligence Results
By implementing the SAND approach, you will immediately gain high-speed ad hoc data investigation and pattern discovery capabilities. You will preserve and protect existing software, data management, operations and hardware investments. Furthermore, you will have a system that supports very large volumes of data while protecting service level agreements and controlling total cost of ownership. All these benefits result in an increased ability to develop new insights, take action and grow your business.
