Archive Backups
What is Archive Backups and why does it matter?
Today’s tech-fueled world digital landscape, data is growing at an exponential rate, and companies are struggling to manage it effectively. As a result, Archive Backups have become a crucial aspect of data management. But what exactly are Archive Backups, and why do they matter?
An archive backup is essentially a digital storage solution that allows organizations to store and manage large amounts of data in a secure and scalable manner. These backups are designed to be long-term repositories for data that is no longer actively used but still needs to be retained for compliance, regulatory, or historical purposes.
Archive backups matter because they provide a robust and scalable solution for data management, allowing organizations to:
- reduce costs associated with data storage and maintenance
- improve data governance and compliance
- enhance data retrieval and search capabilities
- minimize data loss and downtime
A real-world scenario: transforming Archive Backups for success
Let’s consider a real-world scenario to better illustrate the importance of Archive Backups. Imagine a company like Acme Corporation, which has a vast amount of data stored across various systems and applications. Over time, this data has accumulated, making it difficult for the company to manage and maintain.
To overcome this challenge, Acme Corporation turned to Solix, a leading provider of data management solutions. Solix’s Archive Backups solution helped Acme Corporation to:
- retire and decommission legacy applications
- move older data to low-cost cloud object storage
- implement information lifecycle management (ILM) policies to ensure compliance
- enhance data governance and security
How Solix saves money and time on Archive Backups
Solix’s Archive Backups solution is designed to simplify data management and reduce costs associated with data storage and maintenance. By leveraging Solix’s cloud-based Archive Backups solution, organizations like Acme Corporation can:

Cost savings from legacy application decommissioning can be as easy as walking through the data center and picking up one-hundred-dollar bills. A study by the Compliance, Governance, and Oversight Council showed that the average annual cost savings for decommissioning inactive applications were $40,000, and for larger, enterprise-class applications, the annual savings could exceed $120,000.
