The Data Warehouse Challenge
The explosive growth in the size and quantity of databases is a well-known phenomenon in virtually every vertical industry. The increasing use of enterprise software, the Internet and Web-based commerce, and the proliferation of digital media has meant that database growth is a fact of life regardless of industry type or use case. This phenomenon applies to structured and unstructured data in both transaction processing and data warehouse environments, and impacts the executives, managers, and business analysts for whom timely access to data, at an acceptable cost, is increasingly difficult to guarantee.
The SAND/DNA Solution
“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.” — Josuha Greenbaum, Enterpise Applications Consulting
