Press Release Summary: Data Management In-A-Box Combines Solix Enterprise Data
Management Suite With NetApp ReplicatorXTM And FlexCloneTM Software And NetApp
Storage

Press Release Body: Solix Technologies, a leading provider of Enterprise Data
Management Solutions and gloPlug, a Network Appliance partner that integrates
industry leading hardware and software solutions providing data intelligence, today
announced the gloPlug Appliance, the industry’s first plug-and-play solution
for cloning data from Oracle E-Business Suite. The gloPlug Appliance is embedded
with modules from the Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (Solix EDMS) for Oracle
E-Business Suite with NetApp ReplicatorX and FlexClone software and NetApp Storage
to deliver data management-in-a-box.

The cloning of databases for patch, development and testing purposes is a laborious
and storage intensive task for database administrators that potentially expose
confidential data to unauthorized sources. By incorporating Solix EDMS with NetApp
ReplicatorX, FlexClone and NetApp storage on the pre-configured gloPlug Appliance,
enterprise customers can quickly and easily clone production data, mask critical
business, and reduce storage footprint.

NetApp FlexClone allows for the seamless, effective and blazing fast cloning of
volumes, file-systems, etc. Furthermore, each FlexClone consumes no space initially
and only needs to store new or modified blocks. This allows users to potentially
create dozens of clones with only a small percentage of additional disk space.

Solix EDMS functionality leverages FlexClone to create fast, effective and easy to
manage compliant database instances. These compliant clones mask out any sensitive,
non-public or confidential data so that test and development environments do not
necessarily have access to this data points. It does this while maintaining the
relational integrity of the database.

The gloPlug Appliance provides database administrators with an effective compliant
database cloning, archiving and audit solution in a simple-to-buy, pre-built product
optimized for their test and development needs.

“The gloPlug Appliance is a breakthrough for database administrators,”
said Shekhar Dasgupta, president and chief operating officer, Solix Technologies.
“DBAs will now be able to implement a self-contained, Oracle E-Business
cloning solution, which will allow them to quickly and effortlessly clone production
databases for Test and Development. This will reduce the time required in creating
clones, streamlining the test and development process and minimizing storage
requirements to reduce costs in administration, dba time and storage.

The gloPlug Appliance Test and Development advantages:
• Instantaneous cloning of databases
• Sensitive data is protected throughout the application development process
• Eighteen security algorithms map the appropriate type of masking function to
the type of data including encryption/decryption masking, scrambling, nulling and
shuffling
• Works in heterogeneous environments
• No impact on the production environment during the cloning process

“Incorporating Solix EDMS and NetApp technologies into a gloPlug appliance
package is a real win for customers,” said Arun Taneja, founder and consulting
analyst, Taneja Group. “They get all the advantages of Solix EDMS and NetApp
in an easily deployable solution to improve the laborious test and development
process.”
