Why is SAP providing a Nearline Storage (NLS) Interface with SAP NetWeaver 7.0?

SAP NetWeaver BI (along with its precursor, SAP BW) is widely recognized as a highly scalable, robust data warehouse infrastructure that can help retain and cost-effectively manage multiple terabytes of “online” data needed to support business decision-making.

However, as data volumes increase exponentially, and legal requirements for retention of detailed historical data become more extensive, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to satisfy the requirements of

  • Data warehouse Service Level Agreements (SLA’s)
  • Data warehouse budgets (for overall administration & hardware)

The situation is made even more difficult as users make increasing demands on the warehouse for analytic capabilities, requiring easy access to comprehensive, up-to-date, detailed and highly available information about the business to guide important decisions.

Using the new NLS features of SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0, SAP customers are able to overcome these challenges.
