SAND Analytic Server Version 3.1 in General Release - High-Performance Analytic Platform Enhances Load Performance- Query Access from Industry Standards-Compliant Business Intelligence Tools

Montreal (ots)

SAND™ Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDT) today
announced the general availability of release 3.1 of its
high-performance SAND™ Analytic Server. The SAND Analytic Server
is an optimized platform for Business Intelligence (BI) systems
integration, and for building and deploying large-scale analytic
applications. Release 3.1 augments the proven scalability and query
speed of previous versions of the Nucleus data management technology
on which it is based, by significantly enhancing the speed of loading
and updating data for analysis as well as adding further support for
open industry-standard BI tools through more flexible ODBC
connectivity. OLE DB and JDBC connectivity are also available.
"Our research suggests that enterprises tend to polarize around
the issue of how to improve or maintain the performance of analytic
applications as user and data volumes increase," said Doug Laney,
Vice President with META Group. "That is, they either forego analytic
capabilities or they layer additional standard hardware. An alternate
to addressing the problem with the brute-force hardware approach, is
to consider alternate data management approaches such as specialized
DBMSs designed specifically for analytics."
At the core of the SAND Analytic Server is a column-based,
bitmap-indexed, tokenized data structure that efficiently stores
granular-level data and makes it available for rapid analysis by
business users, without requiring the complex indexes and schemas
needed to get analytic performance from traditional Relational
Database Management Systems. This optimized design also eliminates
the traditional dependence on costly hardware upgrades in order to
gain improvements in query and reporting performance.
"After examining many product options, we chose to deploy the SAND
Analytic Server as the core of our Customer Insight solution, based
on its successful track record with a number of leading
Telecommunications and ISP companies," said Fred Türling, Director of
Database Marketing, AOL Deutschland. "SAND's high-performance, highly
scalable implementation platform effectively supports the complexity
of the customer model for our industry. "
"What impressed us the most about SAND Technology was their
ability to have a very complex revenue analysis system up and running
- and delivering usable business results - in under two months," said
Dave Allred, CIO of Toronto-based 407 ETR. "The ability to
efficiently load and update data is impressive. This rapid response
capability is critical to delivering ROI from large scale data
warehousing projects."
About the SAND™ Analytic Server, Version 3.1
The SAND Analytic Server allows integration of virtually unlimited
volumes of data from a variety of sources - data warehouses,
operational systems, and legacy or third-party databases -- into a
compact, fully indexed analytical repository that can be rapidly
deployed and quickly and easily accessed by business users via
SQL92-compliant Business Intelligence tools or methods.
Version 3.1 is initially available for servers running Windows NT
4, Windows 2000/2003/XP, Sun Solaris 8, IBM AIX 5, and HP AlphaServer
Tru64 5.01 and HP-UX operating systems, with a Linux version
available subject to customer demand.
The SAND Analytic Server is highly scalable to accommodate growth,
and fast and simple to update to accommodate business change. It
boosts the performance of existing Business Intelligence
architectures while reducing the need for involvement of specialist
data management staff, and fully supports 24x365 operations, making
it ideal for business-critical applications.
SAND Analytic Server release 3.1 continues to deliver on the SAND
promise of analytics @ the speed of business(tm) by immediately
providing tangible business benefits and delivering low total cost of
ownership and high overall return on investment.
