Delphix for Application Rationalization
Give teams the right data for app retirement, consolidation, and modernization
Application Rationalization Is Critical to Digital Transformation
As enterprises are building new software to drive transformation, they’re often rationalizing legacy apps in parallel. Some are retired and archived, while others are replaced through new development. With M&A, redundant functionality across apps must be integrated and consolidated.
Rationalization Drives Key Data Challenges
Non-disruptive access
Project teams need access to data environments without disrupting ongoing operations
Compliance requirements
Data must be protected from breach and compliant with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA
Managing data entanglements
Teams must access data across interconnected apps for cleansing, mapping, and testing
Archive accessibility
Businesses must retain application data for reporting and regulatory requirements
Delphix Lets Enterprises Archive with 100X More Efficiency
Application archival has many challenges, including cost and complexity, preserving data history, and enabling analysis of historical data. Delphix lets enterprises archive with 100x more efficiency, then recover apps in minutes whenever needed.
Data preservation
Record a full, fine-grained data history and preserve it in an immutable structure, consuming a fraction of the storage
Native format
Preserve data in its original block format so that the same applications and systems can access it with no change
Virtual environments
Spin up multiple, lightweight sandbox environments to access archived apps and data from past points in time
Transform Data to Transform Application Consolidation
Consolidation involves migrating data from source systems, validating functionality in consolidated versions, and testing interoperability with a full app landscape. Delphix automates slow, manual processes for delivering data to eliminate bottlenecks throughout consolidation.
Automate Complex Data Operations for Consolidation
Source application ingestion
Load application and data sources from the original apps, continuously pull changes, and store 100x more efficiently
Application archival
Preserve the un-merged applications including data history, to enable reporting, compliance checks, and even roll-back in case of consolidation conundrums
Data masking
Anonymize sensitive data for the (often outsourced) teams that are testing and validating the new consolidated applications
Virtual data environments
Deliver virtual data environments, in minutes instead of days, for staging, data conversion, functional testing, integration, and cutover rehearsal
Parallel environments
Unblock consolidation teams working on different apps or consolidation processes to work across parallel, instead of serial, test environments
Modernize Legacy Applications in 30% Less Time
For systems that enterprises slate for modernization, Delphix automates compliant data to accelerate everything from app replatforming to app migration as part of an overall modernization effort.
