SAND at SAP NetWeaver BI and Portals 2010 – Orlando, March 23-26
Meet SAND executives and technology experts at SAP NetWeaver BI Portals 2010 in Orlando, March 23-26, and hear how companies such as P&G, Shell, Kraft, and Pioneer Foods were able to:
- Reduce backup and recovery times
- Accelerate data loading and query processing for reporting and analytics
- Efficiently manage large amounts of data
- Reduce resource consumption and overall costs.
SAND Technology’s SAND/DNA Nearline solution is specifically designed to complement help SAP NetWeaver BI users cope with rapidly increasing data volumes and intensifying analytic demands on the data warehouse. With SAND/DNA, users can move infrequently used data into a nearline repository and store it in a highly compressed format that remains easily accessible without uncompressing. The result is substantially lower storage and adminsitratin costs, with no reduction in users’ ability to access granular historical data.

Webinar: Best Practices for a Nearline Solution in SAP Business Warehouse
On Thursday, Nov 13, Auritas held a Webinar on Best Practices in using SAND/DNA for Nearline:
Did you know that many companies now have their BW database 2-3 times the size of their ECC or R/3 Database? In fact, most companies have not looked into the compliance requirements that could impact their BW platform. Many companies now understand that database size and growth can be controlled in the R/3 environment. But, is there any seamless access to archive in BW? How will ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) strategy impact your BW system?
Alright, now that I have your interest peaked….. You might want to know what could be done to manage database growth on your BW platform. Is there something called Data Archiving in BW also? Well yes, but its not as versatile as it is in SAP. There is a new cop in town for managing data growth in BW. It’s called Nearline. Auritas in providing highly informative information (but not boring) is going to do a webcast around Nearlining functionality and benefits in SAP BW. We are also going to do a DEMO!!!. Auritas in collaboration with SAND is going to provide you hands on knowledge around Nearline for SAP BW.

XAM Plugfest, Santa Clara USA
September 14 to 17, 2009
The XAM standard features a framework for extensible metadata associated with stored objects, which supports retention/disposition and electronic discovery (e-discovery) capabilities and facilitates implementation of information life cycle management strategies. SAND/DNA’s XAM support enables enterprises to implement a single basic storage architecture and a single set of data governance policies for both unstructured and structured data, and to achieve better compliance with governance requirements at a lower cost.
XAM Plugfests and XAM Hands on Labs (HOL) assist application and storage vendors in developing and implementing XAM based products, testing and validating interoperability across XAM-compliant storage devices, and demonstrating prototypes of XAM-enabled applications and devices.

SAND and P&G at SAP TechED 2009 Phoenix, USA
October 13-16, 2009, Booth 610
One of the harsh realities of data warehousing today is the urgent need to make more data more available, for more applications with more users – and to do so without causing a disruptive “revolution” in existing systems and staying within budget.
At SAP TechEd, you will have the opportunity to meet with SAND and our customers to discuss how you can implement a flexible Intelligent Information Management architecture as an evolution of your current SAP BW environment. SAND/DNA Nearline for SAP BW leverages the existing infrastructure into which you have put years of effort and financial investment, providing you an environment that allows you to keep massive and ever-growing amounts of data available at a greatly reduced TCO.
Attend Proctor & Gamble’s session (BI119: 10/14/2009 2:00:00 PM – 3:00:00 PM, Room: L13) on Best Practices for Nearline Storage in SAP Business Information Warehouse by implementing SAND/DNA Nearline for SAP and find out how SAND enables:
- Better management of larger amounts of information
- More efficient satisfaction of SLAs and business analysis requirements using a flexible and agile data framework
- Reduced backup and recovery times
- Accelerated data loading and query processing for reporting and analytics
- Enriched analytic functionality
- Better compliance with regulatory requirements.

ASUG Québec: Pratique d’excellence pour l’entreposage de données
Le 24 avril, 2009 à 8:00am
ASUG Québec est fier de s’associer à SAND Technology et SAP pour vous inviter à un atelier de grande qualité portant sur SAP Business Intelligence (BI) et Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).
Des aspects tels que l’extensibilité, la performance et la capacité à respecter les accords de niveau de service, deviendront rapidement de très grands défis pour les entrepôts de données dans un contexte de mondialisation. En plus des exigences beaucoup plus élevées des utilisateurs pour accéder à plus de données avec une granularité plus détaillée, les exigences légales et réglementaires, telles que Bâle II ou la loi Sarbanes-Oxley, par exemple, jouent désormais un rôle plus important dans ce domaine.
Cette présentation porte sur le principe de la gestion du cycle de vie de l’information (ILM) et de l’entreposage Nearline (NLS) dans le cadre de l’architecture de l’entrepôt de données d’entreprise de SAP NetWeaver; un concept qui offre une approche complètement différente pour relever les défis d’augmenter les niveaux de performance et de donner une plus grande extensibilité à un entrepôt de données d’entreprise.
Faites vite pour vous inscrire, les places sont limitées.

TDWI Chapter Meeting – Montreal
March 18th, 2009
Mr. Richard Grondin vice-president R & D from SAND Technology, will present the concept of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) in the context of data warehouses. ILM has been used for several years in transactional environments, but it is recent in data warehouse environments. It can be deployed as a strategy for performance optimization as well as for operating cost reduction or data governance. The ILM strategy has been adopted by several companies and it is among other an integral part of SAP BI multi-layer architecture.
