Big Data Platform Harnesses Data Growth, Optimizes Infrastructure, Reduces Costs and Drive Business Innovation: Solix Technologies, Inc.

The Silicon Review

Solix Technologies Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, is transforming information management with the first Enterprise Archiving and Data Lake application suite for Apache Hadoop.

Left unchecked, data growth is the leading data center infrastructure challenge. Data growth impacts application performance, increases costs everywhere, and challenges compliance objectives. Entire data centers may be stripped of cooling and power capacity. Production applications run slower, data replication and disaster recovery processes are impacted because more and more data is harder and harder to move.

And the increasing user demand for specialized analytics to mine enterprise data for better business results has compounded the data growth challenge. Gartner has remarked that, “by 2016, 75% of structured data archiving applications will incorporate support for big data analytics.”

The explosion of both structured and unstructured data and the increasing demand for enterprise analytics on that data is driving adoption of a new enterprise blueprint to manage growing amounts of enterprise data more reliably and at the lowest possible cost. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) has rapidly emerged as the leading nearline storage platform because it provides secure, stable storage for structured and unstructured enterprise data with enhanced access. Moreover, Apache Hadoop represents the lowest cost alternative for highly scalable bulk storage of enterprise data.

The Solix Big Data Suite leverages an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) framework and Apache Hadoop to store less frequently accessed enterprise data in a nearline repository. Moving less frequently accessed data to a nearline big data repository improves application performance on production tiers, reduces infrastructure costs, and enables powerful big data analytics opportunities.

Solix Enterprise Archiving and Data Lake applications utilize best practice ILM processes to ingest and store both structured and unstructured enterprise data. Data retention is based on policies and business rules to ensure proper compliance and control. Universal data access is maintained through structured reporting as well full text search. SaiGundavelli, Founder & CEO at Solix Technologies states, “By utilizing the Solix Big Data Suite organizations are able to manage larger pools of data more effectively to gain business value.”

Solix Technologies, headquartered in Santa Clara, CA maintains a fast growing global client base including Fortune 500 companies and is developing tools and solutions to address the growing concerns of data explosion. The company runs its Development Center in Hyderabad, India and provides the Solix Big Data Suite featuring Enterprise Archiving, Enterprise Data Lake and Solix App store (Out of box analytics thru pre-integrated applications) on Apache Hadoop as well as Database Archiving, Test Data Management (Data Subsetting), Data Masking ,and Application Retirement across all enterprise data with the Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (EDMS).
