Clonedb/DNFS and Exadata started with Oracle11g and multi-tenant features with Oracle12c, so those are not available for Oracle10g.

Of course, upgrade to 11g or 12c should be considered, but often the ability to clone prod to non-prod is a prerequisite for upgrading, so there is something of a chicken-and-egg problem.

Oracle Snapclone consists of multiple underlying storage technologies orchestrated with EM12c or EM13c. The starting point for Oracle Snapclone is online here at "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/cloud-mgmt/em-snapclone-2267372.html";, and Kellyn, Courtney, Pete, or others on this list can add more information on how to best apply this solution in this situation.

Cloning includes not only the ability to copy (which the original poster has with RMAN), but the availability of compute and storage resources at the target, which is where server and data virtualization (like Oracle Snapclone) helps greatly.

Hi Walid,
As you are in 10g there are not a lot of options available. It's a good ideas to look at clonedb, multitenant, as you can find good reasons to upgrade ;)
Besides Delphix, and snapclone you can look at what your storage array can offer.
Now, it can be good to define how you use the cloning: frequently or not? Lot of changes done into the cloned db or not? For example, a snapshot standby may be a solution to get a very fresh copy of production to do few tests on it.

Franck.
