| Practical Issues |
|---|
| Very high volumes - 10s millions to billions per day |
| Small records |
| Fixed and unchanging records |
| Very small subsets of interest - most data is never accessed or needed |
| Data of interest is unknown until it is needed - keep it all |
| Unparalled data management problem |
| Massive cost implication - especially data loading |
| CopperEye RS Solutions |
|---|
| Hyper-volume capability |
| Tuned for small object indexing - opposite of RDBMS |
| Data acquisition and loading on commodity hardware (alternatives require expensive high specification architectures) |
| Only means of delivering both very large transaction loading and parallel reporting capability |
| Fast query access on unlimited data volumes |
| Original data maintained in original format |
| Simple management and extension |
| Designed specifically for the problem - alternatives are designed for a different data challenge |
