Production databases accumulate decades of data — most of it cold, most of it still subject to retention, compliance, and audit requirements. Solix Database Archiving relocates historical data into a governed Preservation Zone, restores performance to your active database, and makes the archived data queryable through Data Ask in natural language.
Oracle, SQL Server, IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, MySQL — production database estates routinely carry ten to twenty years of historical data alongside the active operational workload. Storage scales. License costs scale. Backup windows grow. Query performance degrades. And the historical data still has to be there for regulatory, audit, and customer-support reasons.
The 2026 answer: archive the cold data into a governed Preservation Zone. Production performance improves. License and storage cost drops. Retention, legal hold, and audit readiness are built in. The archived data remains queryable — and now natural-language-accessible through Data Ask with the Application Knowledge Graph (AKG).
Multi-platform support
Oracle, SQL Server, IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, and more. CDC, bulk extraction, and incremental archiving all supported.
Referential integrity preserved
Multi-table relationships, parent-child dependencies, and cross-database references maintained through archive — data stays usable, not just stored.
Governed retention
Policy-driven retention with legal hold support. Defensible deletion at end of retention. Audit-ready.
AI-activated access via AKG
Archived database content is semantically mapped through an Application Knowledge Graph. Data Ask answers natural-language questions against historical data without a SQL-savvy intermediary.
Decades of preserved transactional data — invoices, orders, transfers, payments, claims, records — semantically enriched through an AKG, becomes training fuel for enterprise AI and grounding context for digital workers. Historical depth competitors can't reproduce.
