Sand Technology Announces Nucleus Exploration Series for Microsoft Windows NT Server and Windows 95 March 16, 1998 10:12 AM MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 1998--SAND TECHNOLOGY SNDCF Brings the Performance, Scaleability and Functionality of Unix Systems to Windows NT Server and Windows 95 Sand Technology Systems International, Inc. today announced Nucleus Exploration Mart product suite for Microsoft Windows NT Server and Windows 95. Now a "branded" provider for Microsoft Windows NT Server, Sand's Nucleus software products help companies gain a return on investment (ROI) for their OLTP, DSS, and data marts by enabling users to quickly derive business intelligence from Windows NT resident applications and legacy data. The Nucleus Exploration Mart can be used as a stand-alone system or as an adjunct to existing data marts or warehouses. The Nucleus Exploration Mart for mart development is a prototyping and iterative development facility for Windows NT data mart designers that allows fast and simple data acquisition, assimilation and validation. Exploration Mart for data mart deployment is a powerful analytical processing tool for end users, knowledge workers and power users that allows them to perform iterative, ad hoc, forensic queries of the data, involving drill down often not envisioned during the original design of the data mart. Nucleus is an ideal product for Windows NT and Windows 95 users due to its tremendous performance and ease-of-use combined with its inherent ability to scale end user computing needs. In fact, the total cost-of-ownership is reduced by approximately 85 percent with Nucleus for Windows NT as compared to traditional UNIX platforms - and Nucleus provides the same performance and functionality as alternative UNIX solutions. The range of Windows NT opens up a wide array of options to Nucleus Exploration Mart users, from personal and workgroup levels to departmental and enterprise strategic deployments. Bringing this powerful data warehousing capability down to the desktop and workgroup levels helps companies gain a return on investment of their data mart. Most of the critical data is found at the workgroup level and the Nucleus Exploration product suite gives users the tool to get at the data they need in order to make critical business decisions. Product Availability The Nucleus Exploration Warehouse and Nucleus Exploration Mart for NT are currently undergoing customer acceptance tests. General availability is anticipated for spring 1998 for use with any new or existing data warehouse/mart system. The Nucleus software products start at $1,295 (USD) for Windows NT and at $595 (USD) for Windows 95. They are available through Sand Technology and their distribution partners, including Sand's affiliate, Hitachi Data Systems. Pricing varies based on specific configurations and applications.
