Solix Technologies, Inc. Joins the Network Appliance™ Partner Program
Sunnyvale, Calif. - June 25, 2007 --
Solix Technologies Inc., a
globally recognized provider of enterprise data management
solutions for information lifecycle management and compliance,
today announced its membership in the NetApp® (NASDAQ:NTAP)
Partner Program as an Advantage Partner.
Solix Technologies is collaborating with
NetApp to tightly integrate the
Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (Solix
EDMS) with NetApp replication, cloning, and secondary storage
technology to help customers:
- Reduce the costs and complexity involved in
creating production clones for test and development;
- Combine Solix's data masking capabilities with
NetApp FlexClone® technology to eliminate the risk
of exposing confidential information in database copies;
- Enhance the speed and efficiency of combining
Solix's advanced subsetting and security tools with NetApp leading
replication technology to create production copies in less than one
hour.
This would allow organizations to
automatically create database copies while masking sensitive data
in non-production environments for improved security, faster test
and development cycles, and reduced storage costs. The Solix
Enterprise Data Management Suite of software enables organizations
to discover, classify, and manage structured, semi-structured, and
unstructured data. End users can easily implement tiered storage
strategies while securing, managing, and auditing confidential data
for compliance and information governance. Solix partners with the
leading application and storage providers to provide integrated
solutions for today's heterogeneous environments.
"Joining the Network Appliance Partner Program
is an important milestone in the history of our company, as the
combination of the unique cloning and replication technology of
NetApp and Solix's Enterprise Metadata Manager with the Data
Security module allows us to solve the problem of protecting
confidential information in non-production databases," said Sai
Gundavelli, founder/CEO, Solix Technologies Inc.
With as much as half of an enterprise's
confidential data residing in ERP/CRM and custom applications,
according to the Enterprise Strategy Group, organizations need to
make these environments secure for the multiple copies of the
production database that are made for quality assurance (QA),
standby, training, and new application development. By combining
the
Solix Secure Test and Development solution with
NetApp replication and cloning technology,
enterprises can automatically replicate production instances, make
subsets of their production instance, and mask sensitive data
before releasing for testing and development.
"One of the goals of the NetApp Partner
Program is to work with companies that have a shared vision of
addressing the storage and data infrastructure needs of today's
complex enterprise environments," said Patrick Rogers, vice
president of Solutions Marketing at Network Appliance, Inc. "NetApp
is focused on bringing customers unmatched simplicity. Solix's
membership in the NetApp Partner Program means that our customers
will benefit from simplifying and securing their database cloning
environments."
