SUNNYVALE, Calif., September 6, 2006 - Solix Technologies, a leading provider of
information lifecycle management (ILM) solutions, today announced two new standalone
modules for the Solix ARCHIVEjinni active archiving solution. The first is the new
Data Security module and the second is the new Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME subetting
module. These two modules add new security and subsetting capability to Solix
ARCHIVEjinni, the industry's only unified active archiving platform - a single
platform for managing all enterprise data; structured, semi-structured and
unstructured data.

The Solix ARCHIVEjinni Data Security and Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME modules operate
together to make the creation of secure subsets of a production database easier and
more secure. The Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME module adds a secured instance subsetting
tool to Solix ARCHIVEjinni that makes the creation of subsets of production
databases easy. The Data Security module adds a metadata-driven data security tool
for protecting confidential information in subsets and in archived instances of a
database. The resulting secure subset or archive is as secure, if not more, than the
production database instance.


"Effective security involves more than just securing data against unauthorized
visibility. Secure enterprise data must remain relationally and contextually intact
so that it can be used effectively in development, test, quality assurance, training
and outsourced environments," said Shekhar Dasgupta, president & chief operating
officer, Solix Technologies. "With this release Solix ARCHIVEjinni can secure data
using the most advanced data encryption, data masking and scrambling algorithms,
while preserving the data's integrity."

According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), 54% of information in databases is
confidential. \"Most people worry about external threats accessing sensitive
corporate data, says Brian Babineau, senior analyst for the Enterprise Strategy
Group. "But with database information the threats can be internal because developers
and other internal parties have access to highly sensitive data. With the Solix
ARCHIVEjinni Data Security and Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME software, companies can
easily mask sensitive rows and columns in a database, securing the information and
keeping it private from developers, testers or outsourcing partners.\"

Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME Module - Secured Instance Subsetting Tool
Creating subsets of production databases is time consuming but enterprises must
undertake the activity to support application development, testing, training and
outsourcing activities. Compared to cloning an entire database, subsetting
eliminates unnecessary data duplication resulting in reduced storage costs and
improved system performance. The new Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME module comes with a
new and powerful approach to subsetting. The new approach adds the ability to easily
create subsets using a parameter-driven engine, greatly reducing the amount of time
and effort that is required to create subsets for non-production environments and
reducing the amount of storage needed to support a non-production environment. The
subsets created have all of the original data relationships intact, ensuring that
they function identically to the original database. The new Solix ARCHIVEjinni
MiniME approach is about two to five times faster than other subsetting tools that
use traditional approaches, resulting in improved productivity, reduced testing and
development cycles, and up to 50 percent savings on the storage infrastructure
needed to support a typical enterprise non-production environment.

The new Solix ARCHIVEjinni MiniME module has an integrated data masking engine that
can be used to secure sensitive data while keeping the referential integrity of the
secure data intact.

Solix ARCHIVEjinni Data Security Module - Metadata-driven data security tool
The standalone Data Security module for Solix ARCHIVEjinni adds sophisticated
encryption and masking technologies that simplify the creation of secure archives or
subsets. Data encryption and masking security techniques protect private data such
as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or medical identification numbers
in non-production instances, such as outsourced testing or development environments,
and in archives. The Solix ARCHIVEjinni Data Security Module encrypts original
database values, minimizing risk and ensuring that regulatory compliance is
achieved. The Solix ARCHIVEjinni Data Security module's sophisticated algorithms
ensure that the data is protected while the integrity of the relationships in the
database is maintained. The Solix ARCHIVEjinni Data Security module has the most
flexible and widest range of security options available for creating secure subsets
including: encryption; scrambling; substitution; nulling; masking; and the ability
to support third party algorithms. These options can be used together to provide an
even higher level of security.

The Solix ARCHIVEjinni is the only active archiving solution built using a unified
platform with a single metadata repository for all enterprise data, simplifying the
task of enterprise search and eliminating redundant data across multiple systems.
The solution will ensure high data quality - a key component of compliance and
regulatory requirements. With its unified architecture, enterprise customers can
deploy Solix ARCHIVEjinni - now with the ability to easily create secure subsets and
archives - across enterprise applications, custom applications, data warehouses,
email systems and unstructured data types that would not otherwise be possible using
point solutions.

Both modules are available now. Customers can license Solix ARCHIVEjinni directly
from Solix Technologies or through its global network of resellers.

To help educate IT professionals and executive management on how archiving and
database subsetting ensures data security, Solix will host a free webinar with the
industry analyst firm, Enterprise Strategy Group, titled "Best Practices in
Intelligent Information Management," on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 at 11:00 a.m.
PDT/2:00 p.m. EDT. To register for the webinar, please visit
