Lengthy setup, load, configuration, tear down processes prevent short agile cycles
High cost barrier to more environments alternative is shared subset copies
which increases risk
Significant effort around integrated testing and slow recovery further limit

Setup, teardown time / cycle

Testing Time / cycle
Query execution time / cycle

Maximize development time: setup, tear down effort cut to minutes (95%
reduction)
Scale without rising costs: copies per project or per developer (90% lower
storage costs)
Simplify integrated testing: create, refresh, recover copies to exact same

Consolidated DB
Project - Plan

Testing Time Needed

Project - ActualTesting Project delays due to ETL, sync refreshes,

tuning etc.

Process overhead of pulling data from different business units creates long
delays
Refreshing from from exact point in time or transaction across sources adds
complexity
Project delays eat into test time resulting in poor initial data quality and higher 4

Data Warehousing With Delphix

Self service: extends independent access to project teams, decouples reliance on

production teams
Federated-sync: across multiple sources through integrated log shipping and
application
Accelerate projects: by 50% while increasing test time, data quality, and success5

Improving RPO, RTO increases storage costs, backup windows, and

network impact
Containing costs leads to RPO, RTO compromise and increases
downtime risk
Recovery processes are slow and error prone
