 ==== Overview ==== ==== Overview ====
  
 +Omnidex Snapshots provide an easy, portable, high-performing copy of a database or a data warehouse. ​ The data from an underlying data source is stored in raw data files, and is usually heavily indexed. ​ This snapshot database can then be moved to other servers for analysis, or even replicated and deployed in production.  ​
 +
 +Omnidex Snapshots are an important tool for databases that are heavily updated. ​ These databases are usually lightly indexed to preserve performance,​ and this leaves the database ill-prepared for analytical queries. ​ In fact, many production databases disallow these analytical queries to avoid impacting performance. ​ Omnidex Snapshots solve this problem by creating a segregated, portable, heavily-indexed copy of the database that can be easily offloaded to another server. ​
 +
 +Once an Omnidex Snapshot is created, it no longer requires access to the relational database. ​ Whether residing on the same server or a different server, Omnidex will simply use a combination of the raw data files and the Omnidex indexes to satisfy all queries. ​ This reduces the load on the relational database, and it also allows distribution of the data without requiring additional relational database licenses for other servers. ​ If needed, Omnidex Snapshots are also easily replicated for expanded scalability.
