Solix Meets LMW Ltd Application Performance and Data Maintenance Challenges

Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd increases end user productivity and efficiency in the data center with Solix Enterprise Data Archiving

Sunnyvale, CA February 14. 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 Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd (LMW) 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 reduce the time needed for maintenance, upgrades and reporting from their Oracle 11i environment.

LMW is a leading Textile Machinery Manufacturer in India and one among three in the world to produce the entire range of Spinning Machinery. In 1962 LMW was founded to provide the Indian Textile Mills with the latest Spinning Technology and today caters to around 60% of the domestic market and has emerged as the leading exporter of Textile Machinery in the country.

LMW, a manufacturer of technologically advanced machinery and accessories for the textile industry globally has one of the largest Oracle 11i installations in India with Oracle 11i modules in manufacturing, finance, distribution and procurement, resulting in a large volume of data being retained in its production system. The dynamic nature of managing a global manufacturing business requires fast response from its manufacturing production system.

“Providing a responsive application environment is critical to meeting the needs of LMW’s customer demands, we cannot afford down-time or poor application performance,” said P. Ananthan Head of IT for LMW, “Legacy data growth was slowing application performance and burdening IT resources to provide back-up and maintenance activities.”

Oracle 11i is the critical business application for LMW to run its business operations and needs to maintain optimal performance for its end users in spite of the relentless growth in transactional data. Companies must also maintain access to the legacy data and ensure efficient management through its entire useful lifecycle—from production to test and development to retirement. Shekhar Dasgupta, President and COO of Solix Technologies, said, “Solix EDMS for Enterprise Data Archiving for Oracle 11i provides companies the means to optimize application performance while retaining historical data for long term retention needs.”

Using Solix Enterprise Data Archiving, LMW automated the process for archiving and purging of historical data from high data growth modules of Oracle E-Business Suite 11i into separate archive schema ahead of the implementation schedule. By implementing Solix Enterprise Data Archiving, LMW benefited from significant improvements in application performance, gains in DBA productivity, and faster backup and recovery.

Solix EDMS enable companies to implement information lifecycle management strategies for business applications and enterprise databases and lay the foundation for E-Discovery through long term data retention, data masking, database audit and enterprise search; improving application performance and business agility through active archiving of enterprise data; improves DBA productivity, reduces storage and secures sensitive data; and help data migration for application subsetting and upgrades.
