Solix Technologies Extends Enterprise Data Archiving Functionality to Sun Microsystems' MySQL Database

Solix Technology today announced that it has joined the MySQL Enterprise Connection Alliance to bring enterprise data archiving to MySQL open source databases

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 14, 2008 - Solix Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise data management and database archiving solutions used by large enterprise customers to manage business critical data, today announced it has joined Sun Microsystems' MySQL Enterprise Connection Alliance (MECA) partner program to bring Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite to MySQL databases. Solix EDMS for MySQL will deliver policy-based database archiving and secure test and development solutions for Information Lifecycle Management and compliance-- improving application performance and ensuring compliance with data security regulations.

Solix EDMS will help MySQL users:
• Improve peak performance of critical applications by offloading historical or inactive data
• Enhance policy-based data archiving to MySQL-based applications, and reduce costs through storage optimization
• Secure data throughout the entire data lifecycle

Sun’s MySQL Enterprise Connection Alliance (MECA) is a multi-tiered partner program with compelling benefits for technology companies. The MECA program offers members the opportunity to preview the MySQL roadmap, while giving special access and discounts for MySQL software subscriptions and support, as well as assistance in assuring their commercial solutions work well with MySQL Enterprise and other MySQL database tools.

Sun's MySQL technology is used by some of the world's largest and fastest-growing organizations to save time and money powering their high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and commercial software. Enterprise data management is a proven strategy to manage growth in application and custom databases by reallocating data out of production systems into secondary, lower cost storage systems while maintaining seamless data access through the native application or BI layer.

Nicolas Pujol, Sr. Manager, MySQL WW Alliances & Channels of Sun Microsystems, said, “We are pleased to have Solix join Sun's MECA partner program. Solix gives our customers additional choice in managing their database assets for the best business case -- either building MySQL databases for custom applications or migrating data from enterprise applications into a more affordable MySQL data store.”

At the core of Solix EDMS is the Solix Enterprise Metadata Manager, which manages multiple application and data types across virtually all hardware platforms that enable centralized management of data security policies whether the data resides in the production instance or in test and development copies. Solix EDMS modules that will be available for MySQL include:

Solix Enterprise Data Archiving - archives all data (application, email, documents and other files) to a secure, controlled, and searchable archive laying a foundation to support eDiscovery.

Solix Secure Test and Development - allows 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.

“Solix EDMS for MySQL gives MySQL users an enterprise-class data archiving solution to maintain performance and reduce the burden of large databases on IT organizations,” said Sai Gundavelli, Founder and CEO of Solix Technologies. “Our technology will help MySQL customers further reduce costs while enhancing system maintenance of enterprise applications and databases.”
