Solix Adds Apache Hadoop to Enterprise Data Management Suite
Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) April 03, 2014 -- Solix Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, today announced Solix EDMS 6.1 with support for Apache Hadoop as a target repository for enterprise archiving and application retirement. As a leading big data platform Apache Hadoop enables Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) applications to scale enterprise-wide and meet the challenges of exploding data growth.
ILM solutions are traditionally deployed at the application level to improve performance, reduce storage costs and increase availability. With Apache Hadoop deployed as an enterprise archive across many applications, performance and infrastructure optimization gains are delivered enterprise wide. Archived information is stored in Hadoop as a nearline repository and secured by policy-driven access control, retention and compliance objectives.
“Big data investments in 2013 continue to rise, with 64 percent of organizations investing or planning to invest in big data technology compared with 58 percent in 2012, according to a survey by Gartner." *
