Local solutions integration company, Logikal Consulting has been appointed the sole distributor for Solix Technologies in SA. Solix is a US-based provider of enterprise data management and related technology.
"Solix is a global leader in this area," says Gerald Naidoo, CEO of Logikal Consulting. "Data management is, at once, a highly specialised field and one that is critically important for many of our enterprise clients, especially in financial services."
Naidoo says the challenge of data management for major companies is a serious issue. It involves both archived data that has to be retained for compliance, as well as the common situation of having legacy applications that must be retained or replaced.
"The first Solix product we offer addresses both the primary needs in a single package," says Mahesh Chavan, CTO at Logikal Consulting. "The Solix ExAPPS is an appliance. It is not hardware that needs software loaded onto it, and it is not a software solution that needs to be configured. It is a single device with its own built-in software that makes data management almost a plug-and-play experience. It covers all aspects of data management, especially the key areas of database archiving and application retirement."
Naidoo says Solix's solution works for most industries. "Firstly, it is cost-effective. Secondly, it is platform-agnostic - easily and quickly deployed. Lastly, it answers a range of critical business needs, including compliance with regulatory and legislative requirements to global standards; management of the major business risks involved in losing data or application availability; and the overall need to achieve these goals in a cost-effective manner."
According to him, while other solutions offer an end-to-end approach, this can be cumbersome and expensive. "It also takes time and resources to deploy and may have limited abilities to answer unique business needs. Solutions from Solix Technologies support an agile business approach that offers the highest security without unrealistic capital expenditure," says Naidoo.
Sai Gundavelli, CEO of Solix Technologies, says reports show that SA's economy is growing and, with that, there is increasing demand for storage and server capacity. "Our partnership with Logikal Consulting enables organisations to invest in proven data management solutions to meet this demand in an efficient and cost-effective manner."
