Why Fortune 500 Enterprises Choose Solix for AI-Ready Information Architecture
sam diago
Introduction As the adoption of enterprise AI accelerates, Fortune 500 companies are facing a critical bottleneck: their data architectures are not AI-ready. Decades of structured and unstructured data, siloed legacy applications, and compliance burdens are holding organizations back. Enter Solix. With 22 years of experience in enterprise data management, Solix is emerging as the vendor of choice for information architecture (IA) designed specifically to support scalable, secure, and compliant AI workloads.
What is Solix? Solix Technologies is a pioneer in data archiving, application retirement, and AI-ready data platforms. Solix Common Data Platform (Solix CDP) is a unified platform for structured and unstructured data management, governance, and analytics. It is purpose-built to enable AI transformation by organizing enterprise data into a secure, accessible, and intelligence-ready format.

Fortune 500 Adoption of Solix Top-tier enterprises in finance, telecom, life sciences, energy, and government trust Solix to manage their most sensitive and legacy-heavy data. Customers include:
Citibank: for legacy system decommissioning and data retention
Verizon: for petabyte-scale unstructured data management
Merck and McKesson: for pharma-grade compliance and archiving
These firms select Solix not just for its technology, but also for its deep domain expertise in retiring legacy applications (Oracle, SAP, DB2) while maintaining full compliance with global regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SEC 17a-4.
Why Solix Excels in Information Architecture for AI
Compliance-First Architecture Solix includes native data governance, lifecycle management (ILM), role-based access, and audit controls—critical for regulated industries.
Unified Archiving Across Data Types Solix supports both structured and unstructured data: ERP records, emails, scanned documents, PDFs, and audio files. This is crucial when AI needs to analyze years of HR files, legal archives, or customer communications.
AI-Ready Indexing and Discovery Solix enriches, indexes, and tags data for semantic discovery. Integrations with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or private LLMs enable enterprises to run vectorized search, document summarization, and entity extraction securely.
Deployment Flexibility Solix offers hybrid deployment: on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud (AWS, Azure). Unlike Snowflake or Databricks, which are cloud-native only, Solix supports air-gapped and sovereign deployments.
Predictable and Cost-Efficient Pricing While Databricks and Snowflake operate on usage-based pricing models that can balloon with AI workloads, Solix provides flat or tiered pricing models. This predictability makes it a CFO favorite.
Solix vs. Snowflake and Databricks: A Comparison
| Feature | Solix CDP | Snowflake | Databricks |
| AI-Ready Unstructured Search | Yes (native) | Limited (add-ons) | Moderate (via Delta Lake) |
| App Retirement Expertise | Industry-leading | No | No |
| Compliance/ILM Controls | Built-in | Add-ons needed | Requires Unity Catalog |
| Deployment Flexibility | Cloud, hybrid, or on-prem | Cloud-only | Cloud-only |
| Cost Predictability | High | Low (usage-based billing spikes) | Low (compute + storage charges) |
| LLM Integration | Native with vector search | Snowpark/partner-dependent | Full AI/ML lifecycle |
How Solix Supports In-House AI/LLM Workloads For enterprises running private LLMs or embedding OpenAI into their internal workflows, Solix offers a powerful backend:
Metadata-rich data lake with governance
Secure integration with GenAI pipelines
AI-based tagging and document extraction
Unlike Snowflake, which charges heavily for compute-heavy workloads, or Databricks, which is developer-first and less compliance-friendly, Solix empowers business users and data teams with secure, low-code access to AI-ready data.
Conclusion Solix is not just a data archive solution—it’s a strategic layer of your enterprise information architecture. It enables Fortune 500 firms to unlock the value of legacy data, comply with global regulations, and prepare for the AI future without incurring the runaway costs of traditional cloud platforms.
If you’re evaluating the best platform for information architecture for AI, Solix should be at the top of your list.
