Solix ExAPPS - Industry's First Application Retirement Appliance |
The Solix ExAPPS Appliance is an integrated set of Server, Storage and Software Components - Database with Massive Compression capabilities (90% data compression), Application Server and pre-configured Application Retirement engine with fast Query & Reporting Tools - all bundled into a single device.
Once candidates for Application Retirement have been identified – applications that are no longer in active use in production environment or where the modern set of applications are taking over - all the customer have to do is point Solix ExAPPS at the first candidate application using a Web browser. After that Solix ExAPPS will migrate all the application data including transactional business objects and reports, add application context to the legacy data, provide de-duplication, compression, and store in an immutable form in Solix ExAPPS. Once that is done, business users or IT can query and report on the legacy data using standard reporting tools that are used in enterprises. To meet compliance requirements, Solix ExAPPS makes the legacy data immutable to guarantee that the data cannot be modified. The above process can be repeated for the next application candidate or set of applications to make the Application Retirement process Simple and Easy to Use while also delivering an assured Return On Investment (ROI) with a very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A single Solix ExAPPS Appliance can replace multiple physical servers, applications and storage in the data center thereby significantly reducing operating budgets and increasing operational efficiencies. |

| Use Database Archiving to Preserve Data When Retiring Applications (refer page 6 of 8) |
 Since most organizations find that they have many applications to retire once they get started, and the ROI is fairly good when using database-archiving tools, the objective should be to turn the activity into a somewhat repeatable process. Look for tools that support this.  |
