Decommission Mainframes on the Solix Common Data Platform
Solix assists businesses in decommissioning and modernizing their IBM zSeries mainframes through a structured approach that includes rehosting, re-platforming, re-architecting, rebuilding, and replacing legacy infrastructure. Businesses can eliminate redundant and legacy applications running on mainframe systems with Solix Application Retirement onto the Solix Common Data Platform. By doing this, they can minimize the overall data and application footprint while reducing maintenance costs, enhancing data access, reducing non-compliance exposure, and strengthening overall governance and security frameworks.

Accelerate Mainframe Modernization
Before embarking on a mainframe modernization or cloud transformation initiative, optimizing your environment first is crucial. SOLIXCloud Enterprise Archiving can help. With SOLIXCloud, you can ensure that only pertinent and active data is migrated, resulting in a streamlined and cost-effective migration and validation process. By eliminating legacy data, you not only improve the efficiency of your migration but also reduce the total cost of ownership for your mainframe applications in the cloud. All of this while maintaining active access to the archived data for business and compliance reporting.

Mainframe Application Retirement / Decommissioning
As Mainframes could consist of multiple active and inactive applications, the decommissioning process should be non-disruptive and phased. With SOLIXCloud's application retirement for Mainframe, organizations can quickly deploy a mainframe decommissioning strategy that is practical, compliant, and efficient. This approach helps reduce mainframe licensing and maintenance costs, free up valuable IT infrastructure, leverage cloud computing, and eliminate security and compliance risks associated with legacy mainframe applications. Even post-decommissioning of the applications, authorized users will have secure and real-time access to the archived data for business, compliance, and analytical purposes, enabling a high ROI.

Active Mainframe Archiving
SOLIXCloud's Active Database Archiving for Mainframe facilitates the identification and archiving of infrequently used data from production mainframe systems to cost-effective cloud storage on an ongoing basis. This helps optimize the mainframe system for performance and future data growth, reduce complexity, reduce maintenance and backup costs, and meet regulatory and legal requirements for data minimization, data retention, data privacy, and legal holds. Leveraging SOLIXCloud also ensures continued real-time access to archived data for business and compliance reporting.

Benefits of IBM zSeries Mainframe Modernization with Solix
Accelerate modernization, reduce costs, optimize performance, ensure compliance, enhance security, streamline migration, and enable real-time access to archived mainframe data with Solix
Lower Migration Costs and Total Costs of Ownership
Archiving legacy data on the Solix Common Data Platform before migration reduces your data footprint, saving time, effort, and costs. Post-migration, managing archives on the platform allows for policy-driven retention, governance frameworks, and access controls, facilitating on-demand data retrieval.
Optimize and Accelerate Migration
Mainframe migrations are inherently complex, whether through rehosting, refactoring, or re-platforming. By reducing the volume of data to migrate and validate, Solix streamlines the process, allowing you to accelerate timelines, minimize risks, and simplify testing and cutover phases.
Strengthen Compliance and Data Governance
Solix Enterprise Archiving, supported by the Solix Common Data Platform, offers a centralized archive that is fully secure, governed, and compliant from end to end. Legacy mainframe data can be managed according to regulatory requirements, including retention mandates, legal holds, and auditability, enabling you to maintain control throughout the modernization process.
Continued Access To Your Historical Data
Even after application retirement, Solix provides continued access to archived mainframe data through intuitive search, reporting, and query features. Users can retrieve legacy data as needed for compliance, audits, or business analysis without keeping the mainframe operational.
