Application retirement is a major paradigm shift toward holistically managing the enterprise application portfolio which allow companies to retire seldom-used applications to significantly cut hardware, storage and software maintenance costs in addition to indirect expenditures such as power, space, etc. Enterprises across a variety of industries are looking for ways to reduce IT expenditures.

In this seminar we will talk about new innovations that will simplify and streamline the application retirement process, allowing for measurable ROI and reduced TCO. This seminar will also show you how to compute the ROI by adopting a process-oriented approach to retire legacy applications.


A look into industry's first Application Retirement Appliance - Solix ExAPPS

Speaker: Raghu Kodali
VP Product Marketing
Solix Technologies

"Application Retirement is emerging as a structured approach in application portfolio management. The costs associated with managing legacy applications can be significant – organizations must maintain expensive application operating environments simply because they need to retain application data. Extracting data from legacy applications in a simple and straightforward way while ensuring access to this data over time allows organizations to reduce costs and ensure compliance" - Sheila Childs, Gartner's Research Director of Storage Technologies and Strategies.

Solix ExAPPS Industry's first Application Retirement appliance - is pre-built, pre-configured, pre-tested with all necessary software and hardware components - introduces simplicity to a complex problem. Customers with finite number of specific packaged and custom applications on distributed systems will find the appliance most appealing as it will allow automated repeatable process for multiple applications.

During this webinar, you will learn how Solix ExAPPS - Industry's first Application Retirement Appliance - will help organizations to get a jump start on Application Retirement projects.

Retire Your Legacy Applications & Reduce Costs

Speaker: Mark Lee
Sr.Vice President - Services
Solix Technologies

"On average 10% of applications in an unoptimized portfolio are candidates for retirement. An additional one-third can require migration or rationalization". - Jim Duggan, Gartner analyst (Plan Legacy Application Retirements carefully, April 2009).

Application Retirement is part of Application Portfolio Management that must be undertaken on a continuing basis since applications often outlive their usefulness. However, one may need to retain and manage legacy data from such applications which are candidates for retirement.

During this webinar, you will learn how Solix EDMS Application Retirement along with Solix Application Retirement Managed Services can help organizations.

Proving ROI from Database Archiving

Speakers: Charlie Garry
Director Product Manager
Oracle Server Technologies
Oracle Corporation

Mark Lee
Sr.Vice President - Services
Solix Technologies
Gartner's June 2008 Report on Hype Cycle for Storage Software Technologies stated that the ROI for implementing a Database Archiving solution is "exceptionally high"

Since that Report, published over a year back, the adoption of Database Archiving accelerated in spite of a global economy in a recession. Actually, the recession accelerated all cost-cutting initiatives and archiving got the priority as a means of reducing IT infrastructure costs. Recent examples however show that ROI from Database Archiving goes beyond just savings on storage and server costs.

In this webinar, the speaker will prove the ROI from Database Archiving with actual case studies:

  • Improving application performance;
  • Reducing storage and server costs;
  • Ensuring important historical data

Data Privacy is Not an Option

  • Reduce risk of data loss in non-production environments
  • Ensure privacy laws and regulations are met
  • Separate database administration from security
