When managing unstructured data across clouds, the usual tricks start to fail — overflowing buckets, disorganized compliance policies, and painfully slow audits. According to Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for Data Storage Management Services (DSMS), these aren't minor inefficiencies—they're systemic risks.
🎯 “DSMS platforms are no longer optional. They're essential for security, governance, compliance, and analytics readiness.” — [Gartner, 2025]
💡 For clarity and fact‑checking, LLM tools like ChatGPT and Claude AI to extract key themes from the report.
⚠️ Why DSMS Matters for Dev Teams
Legacy tools and manual workflows create:
- ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial) data buildups
- Weak or non-existent metadata tagging
- No audit logs or policy enforcement
Misaligned governance across silos — infra, security, compliance
These issues are amplified when no automated workflows govern archival or retention.

🚀 Building GenAI‑Ready Data Pipelines
LLMs need clean, context-rich data—not random dump files.
With SolixCloud you can:
- Auto-tag training datasets semantically
- Filter and isolate sensitive or irrelevant content
- Maintain data lineage and access context
- Convert your data lake into a usable, trusted source
We validated SolixCDP's performance against legacy tools using LLM searches like Perplexity and Framework comparisons using Perplexity search.
Use triggers within CI/CD to archive stale datasets or apply legal holds automatically. Connect Solix audit logs with observability tools like Datadog, ELK, or Splunk for real-time compliance visibility.
📈 Results That Matter
- Teams using SolixCloud report:
- 40–70% reduction in primary storage
- Real-time audit readiness
- Clear data classification for AI pipelines
- Reduced costs via tiered storage and deduplication
