The Business Need for Zettapoint

Data is an organization’s most critical asset. Companies use data warehouses to turn their raw data into actionable information that enables them to make effective business decisions and drive competitive advantage. Therefore, effective management and performance of the data warehouse is key to business success.

Today, 40% of all data warehouses are already over 1TB, and many are expected to double in size year-over-year. Furthermore, companies are mandated to retain data to meet legal and regulatory compliance. These soaring data volumes are driving up the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of managing business information while negatively impacting Business Intelligence (BI) application performance. The decrease in the raw cost of disk storage is off-set by the operational complexity and expense of storing and managing ever-growing volumes of data, and by the cost of performance degradation to the business. Power, cooling and floor space costs and constraints further add to the challenges faced by our data intensive world. Conversely, current data warehouse systems are often not optimally designed or utilized, with typically 80% of the data rarely or never accessed at all. Therefore, data warehouses often do not perform at peak efficiency or support critical BI needs.

The Zettapoint Solution

Zettapoint delivers a suite of database optimization software solutions that dramatically reduce the TCO of data warehouse environments while improving BI performance.

• Zettapoint’s DBclassify classifies structured data based on actual usage and importance to the organization. With this information users can then move dormant data to more cost-effective storage platforms, as well as optimize business intelligence processes.
• Zettapoint’s DBcompact then applies lossless data compression (90-95%) to the historical data, while ensuring high-speed online access.

With the Zettapoint solutions, companies can make effective business decisions that drive a competitive advantage while reducing the TCO of managing information.
