Data Virtualization & Delivery Capabilities
Perforce Delphix gives enterprises data virtualization and delivery capabilities in the DevOps Data Platform. Provide trusted, production-like data environments on-demand and eliminate data sprawl across lower environments with database cloning and virtualization. With the ability to sync, store, and then share common data blocks across downstream development, testing, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) environments, you can reduce data footprints by 10x and accelerate provisioning times by 100x.
Data Virtualization Overview
Accelerate data provisioning while reducing storage footprints. Delphix automates the delivery of space-efficient, virtual data copies. Watch the video to see how.
The Perforce Delphix Difference: Data Virtualization & Delivery
Get the Right Data at the Right Time
Instantly deliver point-in-time, virtual data copies that perform like physical data copies. Accelerate AI-driven delivery and improve development velocity.
Reduce Storage Requirements
Dramatically reduce storage requirements with advanced virtualization, so that you can drive down spending.
Transform Development
Leverage comprehensive data APIs to enable teams to refresh, rewind, bookmark, branch, and version data like code.
How Delphix Data Virtualization & Delivery Works
Key Capabilities of Delphix
The DevOps Data Platform connects with enterprise applications, captures existing production data, and stays synchronized with production sources as they change over time.
- Use Delphix engines on cloud or on-premises.
- Deploy additional engines for scale-out performance.
- Support 1,000s of apps across clouds.
Delphix captures changed data to build an immutable, continuous data record. Immutability makes data safe — easy to recover from corruption, ransomware, or other downtime events.
- Ensure non-disruptive changed data sync.
- Gain granular data history for superior RPO.
- Retain data in 100x less space than traditional solutions.
Rather than making and moving new data blocks, Delphix provisions “virtual” data copies by sharing common blocks from the immutable data record across downstream environments.
- Streamline provisioning process.
- Deliver data without consuming more storage.
- Provision from any point in time.
- Get fully functional, read/write copies.
Virtual data copies behave like physical ones, but virtual copies can be manipulated and controlled in novel ways that increase productivity and accelerate development.
- Refresh, rewind, bookmark, branch, and share copies.
- Easily spin up and destroy copies.
- Give teams and agents self-service test data.
- Eliminate ticket-based data access that slows modern software delivery.
Delphix Continuous Data for Fast Data Delivery
Delphix Continuous Data is a core part of the DevOps Data Platform, offering data virtualization capabilities that transform how businesses deliver data for DevOps and agentic development.
Deploy Continuous Data engines wherever data and applications reside to build a distributed data library providing efficient, enterprise-wide access to virtual datasets. You can also get Continuous Data for PaaS (PDF) to support managed databases..
Continuous Data integrates with Delphix Continuous Compliance to deliver virtual copies of masked production data. Synthetic Data lets teams easily generate the data they need when it doesn’t exist in production — and generate data within the virtual data copies that Continuous Data delivers. Together, masking, synthetic, and virtualization bring speed and safety to data vital for development, testing, and AI-driven software delivery.
Delphix Elastic Data for Cost-Efficient Data Operations
Delphix Elastic Data offers the same functionality as Continuous Data but leverages object storage technology to make Delphix an even more cost-efficient solution.
Growing storage volumes, data sprawl, and retention requirements for ransomware recovery multiply the cost of managing application data.
Elastic Data enables teams to use resilient, 2x less expensive object storage to lower IT costs while enabling automated data delivery for development, testing, or recovery use cases.
Delphix Continuous Vault for Data Protection & Recovery
Delphix Continuous Vault gives companies a continuous data protection solution to mitigate ransomware risk.
In a downtime event such as a ransomware attack, companies need to rebuild applications and data quickly to a known good state.
Continuous Vault uses data virtualization to immutably protect and recover data to any point in time down to the second or transaction boundary.
And with API automation, teams can swiftly rebuild full application stacks to get mission-critical systems back online.

Delphix Data Virtualization & Delivery FAQs
Learn more about Delphix data virtualization and delivery.
Delphix syncs with production data sources and then shares common data blocks across multiple non-production environments from a single, consolidated footprint. This enables Delphix to create virtual data copies that function like physical ones, without the need for more storage. This differs from data virtualization technologies that provide an abstraction layer on top of production systems to enable federated queries for business intelligence (BI) or analytics use cases.
Delphix virtualization automates and accelerates the process of delivering data to non-production environments used for development, testing, analytics, and AI.
Virtual data copies from Delphix are delivered instantly, consume a fraction of the storage compared to physical copies, and can be refreshed, bookmarked, branched, and shared at will. Teams gain trusted data on-demand, enabling faster validation and delivery.
Delphix delivers terabyte-sized virtual data copies in just minutes. Moreover, self-service UI or API-driven provisioning processes eliminate the need for ticket-based administrative workflows that bottleneck data delivery.
Continuous Data is the Delphix product that provides data virtualization capabilities. It is a foundational part of the DevOps Data Platform.
Delphix's data virtualization goes beyond traditional solutions by delivering fully functional, virtual data copies that behave like physical ones — while requiring next to no additional storage. It integrates seamlessly with DevOps workflows, enabling faster provisioning and reduced costs.
Unlike point solutions, Delphix combines automated data delivery, masking, governance, and synthetic data capabilities in one unified platform.
