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

Press Release Body: 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.
