Techworld.com – Ninety percent data compression at VW – and it’s not de-dupe
The ability of SAND/DNA to compress selected data to an extremely high degree (approximately 90 percent on average) while making it available for use in reporting or as the basis for new DataStore objects or InfoCubes was the key factor in Volkswagen Financial Services’ decision. The low total cost of ownership, due to the need for far less administrative support as compared with standard archiving solutions, was also very appealing.
