What Delphix Does (Features & Capabilities)

Here are the main things Delphix provides, in easy terms:

• Database / Data Virtualization
  You can create clones of databases quickly (minutes, regardless of size). These clones use much less additional storage versus making full copies. These virtual databases are fully read/write but aren’t wasteful. 
• Data Masking & Compliance
  Sensitive data (personally identifiable info, health data, etc.) can be “scrubbed” or transformed so that non‑production use (tests, dev, etc.) is safe and doesn’t violate regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA etc. The data still looks realistic for testing etc. 
• Test Data Management (TDM)
  Making sure teams (QA, dev, etc.) have realistic, fresh data fast. So testing is better (closer to “real-world”), and turnaround times are shorter (faster feedback loops). 
• Support for Cloud / On‑Premise / Hybrid Environments
  Whether your data lives in physical servers, or in cloud, or both, Delphix can work across these. It helps companies migrate, modernize, or scale. 
• Automation & Integration with DevOps
  Because it’s “API‑first”, many functions can be automated: provisioning data, masking, refreshing, rolling back, etc. This means you can embed these steps in CI/CD pipelines.
• Data Protection / Resilience
  Delphix helps reduce risk (for example, from data breaches or ransomware) by controlling where and how data is used, masked, etc. 

Who It’s Best Suited For

Delphix makes the most sense if:

• You’re a medium‑to‑large company, with multiple environments (dev, test, QA, etc.) and you often need up‑to‑date data in those environments.
• You work in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, telco, insurance, etc.) where data privacy / regulations are important.
• You want to accelerate software development / testing cycles (CI/CD) and reduce lead times for bringing features to production.
• You have or are building infrastructure (cloud / hybrid / on‑prem) where the overhead of copying data around is non‑trivial (in time, cost, or risk).
• You want to improve resilience (e.g. ability to recover quickly, or avoid risks from exposing sensitive data, or reduce cloud/infrastructure cost
