Accelerate Migration to SAP S/4HANA with Data Archiving
SAP S/4HANA offers a lean architecture, better user experience, and access to modern technologies like artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, and advanced analytics. Additionally, with SAP announcing the end of support for ECC 6 by 2027, existing SAP customers must plan to migrate to SAP S/4HANA. However, this transition can be costly, especially for IT teams that must contend with large amounts of data accumulated over the years, including from acquired and divested business units. Additionally, the costs associated with HANA storage and SAP licensing can quickly become prohibitive if left unmanaged.
SOLIXCloud Archiving can help optimize SAP S/4HANA migration by offloading historical data from primary SAP systems and decommissioning entire legacy SAP instances, thereby reducing the data footprint for migration. The reduced data volumes will make migrations faster and more efficient while also reducing the TCO of the new SAP S/4HANA. All this with retaining continued access to the archived data for audit, compliance, and business reporting.

Benefits of Archiving before Migration to SAP S/4HANA
Efficient Migration to SAP S/4HANA
Migration to SAP S/4HANA is a complex process, especially when consolidating and migrating data from various active and inactive SAP systems. With a reduced SAP data footprint post-archiving, much of that complexity is eliminated or significantly reduced. Also, with only a smaller volume of data to migrate and validate, the entire migration process can be faster, cheaper and more efficient.
Lower the TCO of SAP S/4HANA
Archiving infrequently accessed data prior to migration rather than migrating it to expensive HANA database can lead to substantial costs saving. Additionally, implementing a post migration ILM strategy with SOLIXCloud active archiving can continue to help manage data growth in SAP S/4HANA leading to ongoing cost savings in the form of reduced storage and licensing costs, reduced complexity, and lower costs for maintenance and backups.
Ensure Data Governance & Compliance
SOLIXCloud archiving provides a centralized archived repository with comprehensive governance and compliance features, making it easier to manage and govern data to meet data retention, legal hold, data privacy, and data security requirements. Furthermore, SOLIXCloud provides an auditable trail of all archiving activities, allowing organizations to track and monitor all activities, further enhancing data governance and compliance.
Continued Access to Archived Data
Active access to archive data throughout its existence is essential for business and compliance teams.

Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a best practice for managing data throughout its lifecycle
ILM solutions are intended to improve the performance of enterprise applications, reduce infrastructure costs and provide governance, risk and compliance frameworks for enterprise data. With ILM, organizations are able to optimize their infrastructure with a tiered enterprise data management strategy, and establish a control framework for proper data governance and compliance.
Industry analysts point out that up to 80% of data is not current, and the value of data declines dramatically over time. ILM classifies data at creation and moves data across infrastructure tiers based on business rules and retention policies. ILM ensures that only current, active data is consuming valuable tier one compute and storage resources, and that all data is governed by compliance policy throughout its lifecycle.
