Sand Technology

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." The company is now a division of N. Harris Computer Corporation. The main product of the company is an analytic column-oriented database management system (CDBMS) with generation based concurrency control (GBCC) that can support thousands of concurrent users with massive and constantly growing data. SAND Analytics makes optimal dynamic use of available standard hardware configurations and can handle very large data on systems as small as a laptop. Integration with a SAND environment is provided using a standard ODBC/JDBC interface and is supported with a range of standard business intelligence front-end tools.
