As data warehouses grow, the storage and database management costs increase, while performance tends to decrease. Therefore, the challenge is to easily and cost effectively grow large databases while optimizing performance. The Solution UniTree software has developed a near-line database solution that addresses these issues. Through a standard database query, the database requests data that is near line and UDNL transparently retrieves the data that is required to complete the query. This capability allows for the dynamic growth of Data Warehouses without the cost and hassle of adding additional expensive storage.
Inactive data is moved near-line and therefore can be excluded from queries.
This minimizes the time required for enabling your database for near line storage. Database Independence Possibly the greatest feature about UDNL is that due to the unique implementation of the product, UDNL can work with any database that runs on the platforms which UDNL supports. UDNL has been tested with major database vendors databases and has proven to work transparently. Due to the unique implementation of UDNL, it is equally appropriate across virtually all industries. UDNL is a good fit for any industry that requires a large amount of data to be retained over time, with ready access to even the inactive portion of this data.
