SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving for Oracle PeopleSoft Applications

The Data Challenge in PeopleSoft Environments

Enterprise systems such as Oracle PeopleSoft power critical business functions — from HR and finance to supply chain and CRM. Over time, these systems generate massive volumes of data. While much of this data is essential for compliance and reporting, a large portion becomes historical and rarely accessed. Left unmanaged, this data:

Degrades application performance

Inflates storage and infrastructure costs

Complicates compliance and audits

To address these challenges, organizations are increasingly turning to enterprise archiving solutions that move inactive data out of production, while keeping it accessible, secure, and governed.

What is SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving?

SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving is a cloud-scale Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution purpose-built for Oracle PeopleSoft applications. It helps organizations archive, manage, and govern structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data generated by PeopleSoft.

This isn’t just data storage — it’s a strategic framework that combines policy-driven archiving, compliance controls, flexible access methods, and secure long-term retention. The goal is to reduce costs, boost performance, and simplify data management across the enterprise.

Core Benefits at a Glance

Here’s how SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving helps businesses transform their PeopleSoft data management:

🔹 1. Improved System Performance

Large volumes of inactive data can slow down production databases and degrade user experience. By offloading historical data to a secure archive, SolixCloud reduces database bloat and improves PeopleSoft application performance.

🔹 2. Cost Optimization

Retaining legacy data in production environments is expensive — in terms of storage, backup, and computing power. Archiving data into a tiered or cloud-based repository significantly cuts licensing and infrastructure expenses.

🔹 3. Compliance and Governance

SolixCloud provides strong retention controls aligned with corporate policies and regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. It manages lifecycle policies, data purging, legal holds, and audit trails.

🔹 4. Secure, Flexible Access

Archived data isn’t locked away — users can retrieve it through intuitive methods like text search, forms, reports, saved queries, and APIs. This enables business units to run reports, extract information, or support investigations without loading it back into production.

🔹 5. Application Retirement

Many organizations eventually replace PeopleSoft with newer systems. SolixCloud allows full application decommissioning while retaining uninterrupted access to historical data. This ensures business continuity and preserves enterprise knowledge.

How SolixCloud Archiving Works

SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving operates across several integrated layers:

📌 Policy-Driven Archiving

Policies determine what data should be archived and when. These rules ensure that data retention meets both business and regulatory requirements. SolixCloud supports Oracle-aligned policies so that archiving reflects PeopleSoft metadata and application logic.

This means archived data isn’t just stored — it’s organized in ways that preserve referential integrity and business meaning.

📌 Enterprise Business Records (EBR)

SolixCloud introduces the concept of Enterprise Business Records (EBR) — denormalized, comprehensive views of transaction data that unify structured and unstructured elements. Instead of archiving fragmented records, EBRs provide:

Full transaction views

Fast text search

Easy reporting and analytics

Business-ready formats

This approach enables faster insights and more meaningful business access to archived PeopleSoft data.

📌 Prebuilt PeopleSoft Knowledge Base

Rather than starting from scratch, SolixCloud comes with preconfigured metadata knowledge bases for key PeopleSoft modules like HR, Finance, and Supply Chain. This reduces project time, cuts costs, and simplifies implementation complexity.

📌 Flexible Deployment Options

SolixCloud supports multiple deployment models:

Fully managed SaaS — low maintenance, elastic resources

Private cloud — tailored security and governance

On-premises — for organizations with internal hosting requirements

This flexibility lets organizations choose the best model for their security, performance, and regulatory needs.

Real-World Use Cases

Here are common scenarios where SolixCloud Enterprise Archiving delivers value:

🟡 1. Active Archiving for Operational Efficiency

Companies with high transactional volumes often archive data continuously. This keeps database sizes manageable and ensures reporting and analytics systems run without lag.

🟡 2. Application Retirement and Decommissioning

When PeopleSoft is replaced or phased out, archived data must still be available for legal and operational purposes. SolixCloud enables full retirement without data loss.

🟡 3. Compliance and Legal E-Discovery

During audits or litigation, organizations must locate and present historical records. With text search, reports, and APIs, SolixCloud makes data discovery fast and defensible.

🟡 4. Cloud Migration Support

Migrating PeopleSoft to cloud platforms can be complex. Archiving old data first reduces migration costs and ensures only mission-critical, active data is moved.

Security, Privacy, and Compliance

Data governance and privacy are core components of SolixCloud. The platform supports:

Encryption at rest and in transit

Role-based access controls

Single Sign-On (SSO) integration

Sensitive data discovery and masking

Automated, audit-ready policies

These features help organizations meet stringent regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, GDPR, and CCPA.
