In this demonstration, discover how Perforce Delphix enables you to slash cloud costs with ephemeral data environments. Learn to provision, manage, and decommission secure, compliant, multi-terabyte test data environments in minutes, not hours, and see how you can reduce cloud compute and storage costs by up to 85%.
Ephemeral databases offer a transformative approach to managing non-production environments. Traditional data provisioning is slow, manual, and leads to underutilized, long-lived infrastructure that inflates cloud expenses. With the Delphix DevOps Data Platform, you can spin up and tear down environments on demand, ensuring you only pay for the resources you need, when you need them.
This video walks you through the entire process, from ingesting and masking production data to creating lightweight, virtualized copies. Witness a real-world scenario where a tester instantly provisions a fresh, masked QA database for an application test, runs the necessary tests, and then decommissions the entire infrastructure with a single pipeline. See how Delphix features like self-service access, data bookmarks for instant refreshes, and API-driven automation can accelerate your development and testing cycles while enforcing compliance.
