Yes, it’s engine sits on VMware and provides a mechanism to virtualize your
databases so that copies of the data can be distributed on other servers using
minimal disk space. Ultimately app teams could have a self-service model to
“spin up” test databases on their own. Delphix supports multiple databases.
For Oracle, it uses an RMAN backup to build the first copy and then applies
block changes after that point.
It also has a data masking tool we are looking at. We are just in the
“browsing” stage right now.

If I recall correctly it's basically an appliance that sits between your
storage and database servers. It exposes itself as storage and abstracts away
the underlying complexity.

My manager is suddenly asking about the size of our non-production databases.
I asked why and finally got an answer that they are coming up with numbers for
the purchase of Delphix.
I have heard of Delphix and I poked around their website. Looks pretty cool.
I am wondering if anyone can provide me a quick high level one or two sentence
description of how this product is deployed?
Thanks,
Chris
