451 Research: Delphix Reaps Reward from Agile Approach to Database Virtualization
|

The 451 Take: We have been hearing good things about Delphix, particularly from the financial services community, and it is not hard to see why, given the increase in customer count and average deal size reported by the company since our last update. Targeting CIOs and senior executives can be an expensive business, but the trajectory the company has to date stands it in good stead to argue its case for rethinking the database’s role in an agile development process. |

IDC claims that “development and test databases remain an area of astonishing waste in terms of both storage and staffing costs at many organizations”. Database copies fulfill requirements across the application development lifecycle, data warehousing and reporting needs. These full copies of production databases often consume far more storage and require resources to complete manual and repetitive tasks than across production environments. A virtual data storage solution will provide a simple and effective way to overcome these obstacles and enable rapid, nimble deployment of multiple development and test databases against production systems with minimal storage use and effort. |

The priorities of IT executives rarely change: maintain flexibility to support evolving business requirements while operating within tight budgets. What does change is the means by which organizations address these priorities—a decision best made after taking into account current business objectives, technology trends, and resource constraints. Currently, senior IT leaders are supporting the expansion of “virtualization” initiatives because these projects help reduce operating expenses, improve asset utilization, cut capital costs, and enable IT agility. |
