SAND Technology Announces Availability of SAND CDBMS Nearline for SAS

New Software Product Enables Simple, Cost-Effective Storage and Easy Access for Large Volumes of SAS Data

MONTREAL, June 24, 2010 - SAND Technology Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SNDTF), provider of leading
column-based database software, today announced the launch of its SAND CDBMS
Nearline product for SAS environments. Based on SAND's patented column-based
database technology, SAND CDBMS Nearline for SAS efficiently stores and
manages the large amounts of supporting data kept in SAS data sets, flat
files and databases, making this information easily and quickly accessible
on-demand for ad hoc analyses in SAS.

"Traditionally, making large volumes of corporate data available in a
form usable by SAS has been very costly," said Richard Grondin, Chief
Technology Officer for SAND Technology. "Specific infrastructures had to be
built to hold the data, management requirements were extensive, and the time
required to identify, transform and extract the data for detailed analysis
was longer than users were willing to wait. SAND CDBMS Nearline for SAS is
designed to solve these issues by making all data immediately accessible for
analysis without requiring extensive administration, and without displacing
existing software, data management, operations and hardware investments."

"In providing analytics on point-of-sale data for some of the world's
largest retailers, our biggest challenge is the sheer volume of data that we
have to manage. We need a solution that is scalable, that can work on just
about any hardware and which gives us good response times," said Clive Humby,
chairman and co-founder of leading customer analytics provider dunnhumby.
"SAND CDBMS Nearline for SAS is very valuable to us. We use SAS as our
analytic tool for retail data and SAND fits very nicely with this technology.
It gives us fantastic performance at very modest cost, and enables us to
build our tools in a scalable way."

SAND CDBMS Nearline for SAS is natively integrated with the SAS
environment. Data is saved with full definitions extracted from SAS, and can
be accessed using data step or proc statements. SAND CDBMS Nearline supports
automation of data migration and lifecycle management processes based on
relevant business rules, and uses advanced data encryption algorithms to
ensure protection of data privacy. SAND's data storage requirements are
typically 90% of flat file size, and the system can scale linearly using
commodity hardware to support any volume of data.
