Ensure Compliance and Boost Performance with Active Data Archiving for IBM zSeries Mainframe
Digitization has resulted in an explosion of data in enterprises. The amount of data stored in mainframe systems are also expanding quickly and resulting in decreased application performance, higher license and maintenance costs, scalability challenges, and risk of regulatory non-compliance. SOLIXCloud Active Archiving for IBM zSeries Mainframe can help By identifying and moving infrequently used data from the production Mainframe system to a low-cost compliant cloud archive, all while providing real-time access to the archived data for compliance and business reporting.
Optimize IBM zSeries Mainframe with Active Data Archiving
Reduce Mainframe Data Management Costs
By archiving infrequently accessed and legacy transactional data from active mainframe systems to cost-effective archive storage, organizations can realize significant savings from expensive application licensing, database licensing, infrastructure, and maintenance costs. Further, active archiving can keep the total cost of ownership (TCO) low for Mainframe systems, ensuring cost optimization throughout the application's life.
Improve Mainframe Systems Performance
The Mainframe database and application performance can decline with growing data volumes. Implementing an active policy-based Mainframe archiving approach can significantly reduce the volume of transactions the Mainframe system processes, resulting in enhanced application response time and user productivity.
Ensure Data Compliance for Mainframe
Policy-based archiving and disposition enable regulatory data retention obligations to be met efficiently. Moreover features such as legal hold, data privacy, end-to-end encryption, metadata management, data profiling, sensitive data discovery, and data masking enable organizations to effectively fulfill complex and intertwined global data retention and privacy requirements.
Continued Access to Legacy Mainframe Data
Ongoing access to archived Mainframe data is crucial for compliance and business operations. SOLIXCloud facilitates real-time access to archived data, allowing authorized users to text search, create custom reports, forms, and archive print reports independently of the source system. Furthermore, application reports can be tagged, indexed, and made searchable in SOLIXCloud, and APIs enable archived data tp be accessed and analyzed with third-party BI tools.

Print Report Archiving
The Solix Virtual Printer feature enables users to print important legacy application reports and have them ingested into SOLIXCloud Enterprise Archiving. These reports are denormalized, indexed and tagged for easy text search and retrieval by end-users.
Solix Search provides comprehensive text search, structured reports and adhoc queries
Text search provides simplified user access to enterprise business records (EBR) which are denormalized views of a specific business function such as invoicing. EBR's organize data into templates (i.e. invoices, customer data, spreadsheets, and other documents) for easy self-service access to complex business processes.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a best practice for managing data throughout its lifecycle
ILM solutions are intended to improve the performance of enterprise applications, reduce infrastructure costs and provide governance, risk and compliance frameworks for enterprise data. With ILM, organizations are able to optimize their infrastructure with a tiered enterprise data management strategy, and establish a control framework for proper data governance and compliance.
Industry analysts point out that up to 80% of data is not current, and the value of data declines dramatically over time. ILM classifies data at creation and moves data across infrastructure tiers based on business rules and retention policies. ILM ensures that only current, active data is consuming valuable tier one compute and storage resources, and that all data is governed by compliance policy throughout its lifecycle.
