Instance Subsetting Solutions

Enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, and training. Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment. Secure test and development provides companies with a centralized solution to control the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security. Data masking helps in protecting data in less secure environments.

While the benefit of archiving reduces the overhead cost of data maintenance, when it stretches beyond the need for existence the natural course to take is retirement. Application retirement solutions offer data migration services across applications, operating systems and databases. While data need not be totally eliminated, it can involve a mix of archiving and deletion.

Data archiving solutions helps in reinstating the application’s performance to 50% by archiving inactive data. It enables in improving and reducing storage and IT costs. Users of Oracle E-Business Suite, Baan, Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle PeopleSoft, Siebel and more benefit a great deal by enterprise data archiving.

Facilitating Compliance and Intelligent Information

Application retirement is a viable strategy for eliminating redundant legacy applications, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.  By reducing the number of applications within the IT infrastructure, DBAs can concentrate on maintaining critical business applications with the highest value to the organization, instead of compiling data from disparate sources. Enterprise data management application provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.

It is a common fact that most database applications store company’s confidential details such as employee information, client information, company’s financial details etc. Most often these details need to be shared with developers and others while providing production support for upgrades, training, outsourcing etc. As a result there is a great risk of this data being used for unlawful activities. Data masking helps in protecting data in less secure environments. Secure Test Development has several methods to protect the data before it is shared with the developers. Its option of copying only the required data makes the database smaller thereby requiring only less storage space.

Using data archiving reduces overall storage costs while maintaining access through the native application. This provides the complete solution for all enterprise data archiving needs. Data auditing tools allow enterprises to mitigate security risks with real-time event notification and maintain audit logs of all data changes for search and retrieval during an eDiscovery inquiry.
