About SAND
Company History SAND Technology was founded in 1983. SAND CDBMS traces its roots to developments by Nucleus International Corporation research and eventual patent issued to, among others, Edward L. Glaser on “Bit string compressor with boolean operation processing capability. Originally encoded on firmware, the application is now completely software based. Description A fully tokenized, bit array encoded and compressed database, data storage is column-oriented using domains across schemas/tables rather than as rows of data within tables. This results in an optimized platform for data analytics and data mining, although not suitable for transaction processing. This architecture exhibits the following characteristics: - All columns act as if they are indexed - Actual data values are stored only once and referenced by their token - Columns use lossless data compression when stored - Only columns requested in a query are accessed from the database - Queries are done directly on the compressed columns and only the result set is decompressed. Platform agnostic, SAND CDBMS runs on 32 and 64 bit Windows or the following 64 bit Linux/Unix environments: * HP-UX * IBM-AIX * OSF/1 * Red Hat Linux * SuSE Linux * Sun Solaris
