TIBCO Chooses Solix for Enterprise Database Archiving

Enterprise Database Archiving Reduces Storage and Maintenance while Improving System Performance.

Sunnyvale, CA April 2, 2008–Solix Technologies, a leading global provider of database archiving and enterprise data management solutions that helps companies meet compliance requirements and achieve Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) goals today announced that TIBCO, a provider of enterprise software that helps companies achieve service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) success has successfully implemented Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (Solix EDMS) for Oracle database archiving to reduce the overall size of their production database, increase application performance and lower total cost of data ownership.

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ:TIBX) provides enterprise software that helps companies achieve service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) success. With over 3,000 customers and offices in 20 countries, TIBCO has given leading organizations around the world better awareness and agility-what TIBCO calls The Power of Now®.

Maintaining good throughput for order entry, accounts receivable processing and quarter end reporting is critical to ensuring TIBCO financial teams are not impacted by software performance issues. Recognizing the effect of data growth on throughout and reporting performance as well as the downstream implications of maintaining a large production database in making clones for test and development and Disaster Recovery copies, TIBCO undertook database archiving. Database archiving is a proven technique to reduce the size of production databases resulting in faster clones during migration, testing, development and disaster recovery cycles and reducing storage costs throughout the entire IT infrastructure.

“We are always looking at ways to optimize our core systems” said Alan Bianchi, Director of Financial Applications at TIBCO, “as we move to Linux and version migration, having a smaller data set will make the job easier and reduce risk. Further savings in data maintenance and storage while increasing performance make archiving a good choice moving forward.”

Using Solix Enterprise Database Archiving, TIBCO automated the process for archiving and purging of historical data from Oracle Financials. By implementing Solix Enterprise Database Archiving, TIBCO reduced the overall size of their production system, kept data growth in-check and improved the overall manageability of the system. By minimizing data growth, TIBCO will be able to lower storage costs and improve overall system and reporting performance.

Shekhar Dasgupta, President and COO of Solix Technologies, said, “Solix EDMS for Enterprise Database Archiving provides TIBCO the means to lower storage and data management costs and deliver optimal system performance to Its customers”

Solix Technologies, Julie Lockner, To Be Featured In Enterprise Systems Journal Podcast

Industry veteran discusses how implementing state-of-the-art data management strategies and ‘going-green’ can save companies money and protect the environment.

Sunnyvale, CA March 31, 2008 — Solix Technologies, a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management and Database Archiving Solutions used by large enterprise customers to manage business critical data, announced today that Julie Lockner, vice president of sales operations will be featured in an Enterprise Systems Journal Podcast that addresses how companies can implement data management strategies that will save them money while protecting the environment. The Podcast titled: Data Management and the Greening of IT is currently available on ESJ.com

During the Podcast, Lockner is interviewed by Jim Powell, editorial director, Enterprise Systems Journal and discusses the concept of ‘Going Green’ and the need for company IT decision makers to adopt new ways to reduce the amount of energy the data center consumes. Lockner explains that “green IT” relates to efforts in reducing energy consumption to preserve our planet’s natural resources.

“The most recent studies from leading IT analyst firms estimate that for every dollar spent on computer hardware, another 50 cents is spent on energy,” said Lockner. “According to an IDC report, this amount is expected to increase to more than 71 cents by 2011. As the volume of digitally stored information proliferates and drives the demand for power to retrieve and view it, there is a direct link to how – we in the IT market – need to find ways to reduce the amount of energy, or power, the data center consumes. This has benefits to the planet, but more selfishly, there is a direct correlation on cost of doing business. The less power consumed, the less money is spent on utility bills. One area in IT where there is a large opportunity for savings is in enterprise applications.”

IT data centers are facing issues such aspower scarcity, skyrocketing cooling and lighting costs,and space and rising electrical wiring requirements. This problem is compounded by disproportionate use of energy on inefficient servers and storage infrastructures with waste estimated at 60% in many environments. In addition, governments worldwide are implementing legislations to enforce energy performance standards and regulate energy consumption. These include the Japan Energy Law, the SPEC Power, the ECMA Energy Efficiency (ECMA TC-38 TG2), Energy Star, the European Union Directive for Energy UsingProducts (EuP), and EPEAT and consumer pressure to be a responsible environmental partner.

The amount of energy consumed by Data Centers is estimated at 61 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2006 (1.5 percent of total U.S. electricity consumption) for a total electricity cost of about $4.5 billion. This level of electricity consumption exceeds the amount of electricity consumed by all of the color televisions in the U.S. and is equal to the amount of electricity consumed by approximately 5.8 million U.S. households.

Just the power and cooling infrastructure, which is needed to keep IT equipment in data centers at moderate temperatures accounts for 50 percent of the total electricity consumption within data centers. Among the different sizes of data centers, more than one-third (38 percent) of electricity use is attributable to the nation’s largest (i.e., enterprise-class) and most rapidly growing data centers.

Using current efficiency trends, the energy consumed by servers and data centers will likely double by 2011 to more than 100 billion kWh which represents $7.4 billion in annual electricity costs. The peak load on the power grid from these servers and data centers is currently estimated to be approximately 7 gigawatts (GW), the equivalent to the output of about 15 base load power plants. If current trends continue, this demand would rise to 12 GW by 2011, which would require an additional 10 power plants. In 2007, CO2 emissions for all US data center will exceed 44.4 million metric tons

The estimated annual costs of operating a data center employing 75 workers and occupying 125,000 sq. ft. of new space ranges can also vary depending on geography. In Sioux Falls, SD operational costs can be kept to under $10 million to more than $14 million in New York City.

Solix to Sponsor Webcast on Case Studies in Database Archiving

Brian Babineau of the Enterprise Strategy Group to Present Summary of Archiving Trends

Sunnyvale, CA March 19, 2008 — Solix Technologies, a leading global provider of database archiving and enterprise data management solutions that helps companies meet compliance requirements and achieve Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) goals today announced Solix Technologies is sponsoring a webcast on March 24th, 2008 with Brian Babineau, Senior Analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) on Case Studies in Database Archiving with a summary of market trends supported by their research.

There are many factors organizations consider when implementing an archive solution from better data management to reduced data storage costs. ESG estimates that primary application databases are growing approximately 25%, which can kill application performance and slow back-up and recovery times.

Organizations such as Traco Incorporated, a manufacturer of custom windows for commercial and residential applications, depend on database archiving to offload unneeded production data, eliminating the risk that data growth will impact operational performance.

Database archiving is a proven methodology to manage database growth, ensure compliance and improve application performance. By incorporating database archiving strategies with mission critical business applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and Baan, organizations are able to address and mitigate performance, storage and data management concerns.

“In talking to organizations such as Traco that have implemented data archiving solutions,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “It is apparent that data growth within ERP solutions and other enterprise applications was an area of concern and database archiving was a significant factor in addressing these concerns.”

SolixEDMS 4.0 from Solix Technologies Receives Designed for EMC® Documentum® Accreditation

Solix EDMS is one of the only ILM Solution delivering integrated Database Archiving with EMC Documentum

Sunnyvale, California — November 8, 2007 – Solix Technologies, a leading global provider of information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions, today announced that its Solix EDMS 4.0 has received the “Designed for EMC® Documentum®” accreditation, a mark of quality and value that customers can depend on in enterprise applications. The “Designed for EMC Documentum” accreditation demonstrates that Solix EDMS 4.0 has successfully met a comprehensive set of criteria for solid design and quality integration.

Solix EDMS 4.0 extends the Documentum content management platform so customers can leverage a single enterprise content management system that manages data retention and archiving policies across all data types and content types. Solix offers existing EMC Documentum customers the ability to add archived database data to their Documentum repository to leverage their existing investments. Having a single solution for managing archived data, storage and retrieval in a common active archive repository improves operational efficiencies, lowers total cost of ownership and helps companies maintain compliance. Solix EDMS with EMC Documentum adds database data, reports, documents and attachments from business applications such as Oracle, SAP, Siebel, JD Edwards and Peoplesoft to the customers’ Documentum repository

Solix’s unique approach for leveraging a central metadata repository with distributed administration to manage many applications and data types simplifies management, lowers costs and reduces risk associated with multiple installs for every application and server. This central metadata repository and management console can be installed with the Documentum Content Server or on a dedicated server for those customers just looking for an ILM solution for their database applications. Customers have the choice to either archive data to Solix’s central archive repository or to EMC Documentum. Users can then access archive data through native application interfaces or through the EMC Documentum end user application.

“EMC’s position as the leader in enterprise content management is strengthened by the support of great partners such as Solix,” said Randy Ziegler, Director of Developer Programs at EMC Corporation. “Partners like Solix build solutions and applications on the Documentum platform because customers have demonstrated their trust in EMC Documentum to manage their most critical and strategic information. The accreditation program is another way EMC earns that trust while supporting innovative offerings like Solix EDMS 4.0.”

Solix EDMS integration with EMC document management solutions is part of a centralized, policy driven data management schema for data retention. “Retaining and securing data out of production systems ensures data viability beyond the application lifecycle for business continuity, compliance, eDiscovery, regulatory needs and reduces cost of maintaining legacy applications. This integration brings together the two worlds of structured and unstructured data,” says Sai Gundavelli, Founder and CEO of Solix Technologies, Inc.

Solix received design accreditation by joining the Designed for EMC program; a program designed to help ISVs, VSPs and SIs design, develop and go-to-market with successful offerings based on the EMC Documentum platform. As a member, Solix received specialized design consultation and guidance, along with access to dedicated content management technical resources. Partners can submit their offerings to be considered for the “Designed for EMC Documentum” accreditation – which if achieved, signifies to customers that the offering meets high standards for architectural compliance with Documentum practices and will provide a reliable integration with less uncertainty for joint customers.
