SenSage Participating in the EMC Data Warehouse/Business
Intelligence/Analytics Competency Center

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- SenSage, Inc. today announced that it is
participating in the EMC(R) Data Warehouse/Business Intelligence/Analytics
Competency Center to provide customers an optimized solution to manage
large-scale event data warehouse and business intelligence environments. The
SenSage data warehouse software is integrated with EMC networked storage
systems, and is designed to help organizations achieve cost efficiencies and
reduce time-to-value in data warehouse deployments. 

"Customers are facing critical challenges with their rapidly growing volumes
of data in their data warehouse and business intelligence environments and are
asking vendors for solutions that are cost-effective, provide high
availability and are easy to use," said Chuck Hollis, EMC's vice president,
global marketing, and chief technology officer. "The EMC Data
Warehouse/Business Intelligence/Analytics Competency Center brings together
the engineering resources and expertise of industry leaders to work directly
with customers to help them evaluate, plan and architect a solution that
addresses their business requirements. Having SenSage participate in the
Competency Center enables the two companies to work closely to ensure we can
offer customers an optimized data warehouse/business intelligence solution."

SenSage Offers Customers Integrated Data Warehouse Solutions for Managing
Petabyte-scale Environments
SenSage's breakthrough technology advantage is based on the use of a columnar
database across clusters of commodity servers, storage and networking to
deliver pre-built, highly targeted business solutions. Unlike other columnar
data warehouse providers, SenSage includes powerful extract, transform and
load (ETL) and business intelligence capabilities that enable easy collection
and analysis of any time-based data. Users access highly tailored dashboards
of alerts, analytics and trending data, and execute sophisticated queries from
an easy, intuitive user interface. This combination leads to dramatically
lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and time-to-value as compared to other
data warehouse approaches.

For many organizations, event data is their fastest growing data type and,
often, their single largest data store. Even for small firms, it's common to
generate over a terabyte of event data each day. Event data includes
information such as telecommunications call records (CDRs); bank transactions;
Internet traffic detail, application, security and database logs; and physical
access systems.   

"The SenSage solution with EMC integration provides write-once, read-many
storage with pre-built functionality to support CDR analysis, log management,
reporting and alerts," said Owen Connelly, principal security specialist,
Telefonica O2 Ireland. "System performance, scalability and flexibility are
unmatched."

As detailed in a recent announcement, SenSage received the EMC Velocity2
Technology and ISV Program "2008 EMC Partner Solution Award: Offering of the
Year for EMC Centera(R)." SenSage's CDR Warehouse solution was selected for
its business impact based on judgment criteria that included revenue
contribution, lead generation, market presence and commitment to and
leveraging of EMC technology.

"We're looking forward to expanding our efforts with EMC to provide customers
with additional solutions that allow them to improve their visibility to risk
and simplify operations at a fraction of the cost of traditional data
warehouse offerings," said Jim Pflaging, president and chief executive
officer, SenSage. 

At the Competency Center, customers can view live demos based on workload and
configurations to illustrate tight integration between EMC storage and
SenSage, resulting in an integrated and optimized solution for data warehouse
and business intelligence.
