It's About Results. It's About Time.
Keeping pace with global competition demands complex query support that delivers
fast, easy access to intelligent information. Hitachi Data Systems, in conjunction with
Sand Technology, offers a solution that addresses this challenge-the HDS Nucleus
Exploration Series, chosen as the 1998 World Class Solution for Outstanding Product
Innovation by DM Review.
Nucleus is a unique combination of hardware, software, and support services, that
offers:
Faster response times than any current data mining solution
Rapid, resource-free deployment of critical decision support systems
Simplified, ongoing administration
Reduced disk requirements
Increased security.
With the new HDS Nucleus Exploration DB2 Accelerator, you can also process
complex queries without deferring them to off-hours or disrupting normal warehouse
operations. The DB2 Accelerator handles them without consuming large amounts of
mainframe processor time or memory/disk storage. Instead, it shifts the burden to a
Nucleus Exploration Series system, so your existing data warehouse can do what it
does best-day-to-day production queries such as generating sales reports.
The bottom line-business results you really want. Superior marketing intelligence. More
business opportunities. Faster response to customers' concerns. And a competitive
advantage in the marketplace. Nucleus saves you time and money, and frees you to
tackle other more pressing IT concerns, such as Year 2000 and Eurocurrency
conversion. What more can you ask of your data warehouse?
Nucleus. It's about results. It's about time.
