StorHouse is an intelligent, hardware agnostic, storage virtualization and data management platform for archiving, retrieving, and backing up large volumes of relational and file-based information. When used as a database extension solution, StorHouse becomes a high-capacity, back-end data store for historical atomic (also called granular or detail) data offloaded from large operational databases.

Why Choose StorHouse?

As a database extension platform, StorHouse is a more cost-effective, efficient, and comprehensive way to store, manage, and access relational data than traditional database applications. By offloading atomic data to StorHouse, organizations, government agencies, and enterprises worldwide retain manageable and affordable access to critical non-summary data directly through their primary database applications. And, because StorHouse can store non-relational and relational data from multiple sources in a single system, it can function as a completely centralized enterprise-wide atomic data mart, thus making all formats of detail data available to researchers, analysts, and other authorized users throughout the organization regardless of their operational platforms.

StorHouse Features

StorHouse as a database extension provides many features for efficient atomic data management, including:

• Storage virtualization and automatic backup, recovery, retention, migration, and replication
• Direct row-level SQL access to data on any StorHouse-managed media, including tape
• SQL, ESQL, ODBC, and bulk data loader and unloader interfaces
• Federated database support for easy, seamless integration with industry-leading third-party relational databases
• Unique relational partitioning model that enables scalability from terabytes to petabytes with no performance degradation
• EXPLAIN facility for query optimization and comprehensive journaling and recovery utilities to protect metadata integrity

Business Benefits

Business benefits include new insight and enhanced customer relationship management based on having atomic data available for analysis, rapid information access because both summary and detail data are stored online, and reduced costs for operational systems because they have less information to manage and transfer.
