SAND Technology Demonstrates Top Speeds With Sun Solaris 10 on Sparc and AMD Opteron Processor-Based Systems
Friday, 13 January 2006 SAND Technology, Inc. (OTC BB: SNDTF), an
international provider of enterprise information management solutions,
today announced support for the Sun Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS)
and their AMD Opteron processor-based system. The SAND Searchable Archive,
SAND Analytic Server, and SAND Searchable Archive for SAP® Business
Intelligence (SAP BI) products are available on all of Sun's supported
platforms, including the Solaris 10 OS for Sparc and AMD Opteron-based
processor servers.
The combination of Sun's platform and SAND's software products will help
customers reach their performance goals for managing and accessing multiple
terabytes of data more easily than ever before. With the data enterprise
growing year after year, and with the increasing need for users to be able
to query this data for analysis, regulatory, and compliance activities,
customers need solutions that will enable them to "find the needle in the
haystack," how and when they need it.
SAND products have set new benchmarks for large-scale data management and
analysis. Performance tests were carried out recently in conjunction with
Sun at the Global Storage Center in Scotland using the Solaris 10 OS and
Sun's AMD Opteron grid system. The tests demonstrated load speeds of
greater than 1 terabyte per hour and query speeds of 2 terabytes per
minute, processing 75 million rows per second, on a SAND customer data set
of 165 terabytes consisting of ISP web log data, CRM data, and
transactional data.
"We are pleased that SAND products have achieved new performance standards
on the Solaris 10 OS and AMD Opteron-based processor," said Stephen
Borcich, Vice President of Partner Marketing, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "SAND
is a great partner of Sun's, and our mutual customers will be able to
successfully manage and access their data in larger volumes, and far more
quickly."
"SAND continues to be very pleased with the performance of our products on
Sun platforms. SAND's linear load and query scalability on Sun platforms,
along with data compression rates of up to 90%, allow customers to
cost-effectively keep terabytes of data online or nearline to meet their
changing business needs," said Linda Arens, Sr. Director, Global Alliances
for SAND.
