How does it work?
Kyano Datafridge securely stores legacy data on modern infrastructure of your choice. This ensures compliant, controlled access to the complete historical data set – delivering a holistic business view without the cost and risk of running a full legacy system.
- Our solution extracts all data from your legacy system database. All this data is migrated to the Datafridge archive – on-prem or in the cloud. We recommend using a compliant cloud storage or data lake to securely store this legacy data within the Datafridge archive.
- To access and analyze the data, a capsuled add-on is installed on the access system (control system), providing seamless and transparent access to historical data via an SAP GUI-based frontend for audits and analysis.
