With Delphix, organizations accelerate application development, simplify operations, modernize with the cloud and improve developer experience.
Some key features of the Delphix platform
Automated data virtualization
Accelerated data delivery
Advanced data masking capabilities
Multi-cloud data agility
Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards
Streamlining application development, testing, and recovery
Recurring challenges with test data management
Data synchronization
Static data can become quickly outdated, failing to reflect current business conditions. Ensuring that test environments have the latest data from production environments means that testing can be valid and relevant.
A common approach includes a tedious and error-prone process of manual data updates, which can lead to inconsistencies and failures to catch critical errors during the testing phase.
Legal compliance
Protection of sensitive personal data and strict compliance with various legal mandates is indispensable. However, traditional data masking methods are time-consuming and susceptible to errors as they often require manual scripting.
Finally, traditional masking techniques also struggle to accurately reflect real-world data scenarios, undermining the reliability and relevance of testing outcomes.
Continuous deployment
The first two challenges are amplified by the necessity for swift deployment of the latest software updates. Issues with data management can lead to delays in the testing phase, pushing back release schedules.
Manual processes for these tasks not only add to the timeline but also heighten the risk of errors, further compromising the quality of releases.
How we help businesses bridge data gaps for efficient testing:
Rapid data provisioning
Effortless synchronization across multiple environments
Dynamic, automated data masking
The value we bring together
Sixsentix’s testing expertise is supercharged with Delphix’s ability to provide timely, relevant, and secure test data, thereby reducing the risk of defects and non-compliance with data regulations.
The Delphix platform smoothly synchronizes data across environments in real-time to enable a responsive and agile CI/CD pipeline. It provides dynamic data masking, automating the protection of sensitive information, and ensures that data remains fresh and relevant as it moves between systems. This approach not only secures data but also maintains its relational integrity, meaning that masked data remains usable and realistic for testing purposes.
As a result, our tests are run on high-fidelity data that mirrors production data closely but without the associated risks. This allows for rigorous and regulatory-compliant testing, leading to reliable software releases. By solving common impediments like data bottlenecks and security vulnerabilities, our partnership facilitates a seamless, agile testing process that accelerates time-to-market and ensures the highest level of quality assurance.
