@delphix
Delphix delivers agility to enterprise application
and modernization projects, addressing the largest
source of inefficiency and inflexibility in the
datacenter—provisioning, managing, and refreshing data
for business-critical applications. With Delphix in
place, QA engineers spend more time testing and less
time waiting for new data, increasing utilization of
expensive test infrastructure. Analysts and managers
make better decisions with fresh data in data marts and
warehouses. Leading global organizations use Delphix to
dramatically reduce the time, cost, and risk of
application rollouts, reporting, retirements, and
migrations.
Most IT organizations are under pressure to cut costs,
forcing compromises that limit the ability to deliver
the data that project teams need to be successful. As
project teams wait for data updates, schedules slip and
features or test cycles are cut. Delphix eliminates this
forced tradeoff, enabling IT to deliver full, fresh data
sets to QA, reporting, and mogration teams whenever it’s
needed. As a result, projects get delivered on time and
on budget, applications have the quality and features
required, and managers make better decisions with the
right information.
