Case Study: Rediff.com achieves 50% faster online performance and 75% storage reduction with Solix Technologies' ARCHIVEjinni™

Rediff.com uses Solix ARCHIVEjinni™ to improve online performance through an effective ILM implementation

Rediff.com, a leading online news, communication and e‑commerce portal serving millions of users, faced rapidly growing transactional data (about 20% user growth per quarter) that degraded application performance, lengthened testing cycles, and increased maintenance costs. High-volume transactions across multiple custom application instances made retrieving operational data slow and risky, and Rediff needed to relocate historical ecommerce transactions without compromising online access.

Rediff implemented Solix ARCHIVEjinni™, a metadata-driven ILM platform, to automate archive/purge and instance subsetting for seven custom applications and to create smaller test database subsets. Within eight weeks they automated scheduled data management, improved backup/recovery, and cut storage by ~75%, yielding over 50% application performance improvement, reduced maintenance effort, and an estimated ROI within the first quarter.
