Solix Technologies Releases Solix Secure Test and Development Solution for SAP
Secure Database Cloning Solution Reduces Risk of Data Privacy Breaches in SAP Application Support Environments While Streamlining Application Testing and Development
SUNNYVALE, California — July 23, 2007- Solix Technologies, Inc., a globally recognized provider of enterprise data management solutions for information lifecycle management and compliance, today announced general availability of the Solix Secure Test and Development Solution for SAP. This solution, certified on SAP NetWeaver, will deliver improved test data management for SAP applications that will mitigate risk, speed time-to-deployment and reduce storage costs.
The Solix Secure Test and Development solution provides database/instance subsetting and data masking capabilities for application support environments. With organizations making anywhere from 8-10 copies of the production environment for application development, testing, QA and training, valuable storage resources are being consumed and an organization’s risk of data privacy breaches increases with every copy. With Solix Secure Test and Development, organizations can create “subsets” of their production environment, copying only the data they need, while masking it before releasing for development, testing, QA etc. This significantly reduces risk, time to copy, and the storage resources needed to accommodate application support environments. A global logistics company leveraged the Solix Secure Test and Development solution and reduced development time by 88% and storage costs by over 50% while protecting confidential data.®
“Every company is challenged with determining how they can simplify their infrastructure and reduce risk,” said Prasada Pyala, vice president of engineering, SAP solutions. “This solution provides enterprises with a streamlined method that far exceeds traditional cloning methods that just aren’t scalable for today’s growing database environments. Solix’s policy-driven data masking provides multiple options for securing data, and automates what is typically a very laborious and resource intensive process.”
Solix Secure Test and Development with NetApp for SAP®
Solix Technologies has partnered with Network Appliance to combine NetApp’s replication and cloning technology with Solix’s data masking and subsetting capabilities to further reduce cloning times and storage resources. With NetApp’s FlexClone™, Snap Manager® for SAP and ReplicatorX technologies, organizations can reduce cloning times to under an hour leveraging a fraction of the storage.
“Many organizations run their business on SAP and need ways to reduce the management of the applications supporting infrastructure,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group, a leading IT analyst firm. “One of the most significant expenses related to enterprise applications are the storage costs associated with test and development environments. Solix and Network Appliance help SAP customers control storage consumption while improving test and development processes.”

Solix is committed to expanding its SAP-specific database management solutions and the Secure Test and Development solution is the first example of the company’s commitment to SAP customers.
