Modernize IBM Informix

Why Modernize Your Informix Environment Now?

IBM ended its continued support for Informix on April 30, 2025. Although Informix has powered several enterprise applications in the past, maintaining them today presents several key challenges, including a lack of product support and increased operational, financial, and regulatory risks.

The Solution

Decommission & Modernize Your Informix Systems with Solix!

Solix, with the Solix Common Data Platform (CDP), helps businesses decommission and modernize their IBM Informix environments in a structured approach by rehosting, re-platforming, re-architecting, rebuilding, and replacing legacy infrastructure. This helps reduce the overall data and application footprint, thereby facilitating migration while saving costs, maintaining data integrity, and reducing non-compliance exposure.

Information Lifecycle Management

Reduce Costs and Eliminate Legacy Overheads

Legacy Informix systems can quickly accumulate costs due to aging infrastructure, expensive license fees, and specialized expertise.

Retiring Informix to Solix CDP can help reduce costs by decommissioning redundant applications and migrating critical data to modern, low-cost storage on cloud, on-premises, or hybrid servers, thus freeing up IT resources to focus on strategic projects.

Data Governance

Enhanced Security and Compliance

Outdated Informix systems often lack essential security protocols to meet current regulatory requirements, leaving your data environment vulnerable to threat vectors.

With Solix, you can enforce governance, retention, and legal hold frameworks which allow you to reduce exposure to cyber threats while maintaining audit-readiness for regulations like GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, and other mandates.

Data Access & Scalability

Maintain Operational Agility

Retiring and decommissioning your Informix systems to Solix CDP can help you overcome the scalability risks associated with legacy systems.

Modernizing your Informix system allows easy integration with modern analytics and cloud platforms, providing quicker access to information and enhancing responsiveness to evolving business needs.

Workforce Optimization

Optimize Your IT Workforce

Running Informix instances today increases dependencies on specialized, legacy skillsets that are becoming increasingly scarce, limiting your ability to optimize your workforce allocation.

Retiring Informix with Solix allows you to simplify your tech stack while diverting IT expertise into more strategic, high-impact initiatives.
