• Mod11 Check Digit Enhancement: The Continuous Compliance Check Digit framework now includes mod11 support to enable accurate validation and masking for identifiers such as the Australian Tax File Number (TFN). It also adds flexibility for other global formats that rely on similar algorithms to strengthen compliance and broaden coverage for sensitive data across diverse environments.
• Non-Conformant Data Handling: You can now choose to automatically set non-conformant data values to null - either globally or at the individual masking job level through the user interface. This option applies to our latest masking jobs and is not available for older, legacy job types.

• Perforce Brand Refresh: Continuous Compliance got a makeover! Upon installation or upgrade, all accounts will see a variety of fresh, new user interface updates to align with the new Perforce branding, including fonts, colors, buttons, and logos. Please note that all workflows, APIs, and CLIs remain the same.
• File Format Download: Managing file formats just got easier. With this release, you can now download file formats directly from the Compliance Engine. This means you can recreate files when the original is not available, duplicate formats for reuse across multiple sources, and even make edits without needing a re-upload. Initial support includes Delimited, Fixed-Width, JSON, XML, and Parquet.
• Simplified LDAP Setup: LDAP settings entered on the Setup page will now also be applied to the Masking Engine, so you no longer need to configure LDAP in two places.

Faster, More Reliable Job Execution: We’ve completed a major backend modernization of our Continuous Compliance engines, migrating from Kettle to Apache Hop. This upgrade significantly improves job orchestration, engine stability, and scalability for future enhancements. Customers upgrading from older versions are already seeing 3–5x improvements in masking job throughput, depending on data source and configuration.

• Character Replacement Algorithm Framework: This framework allows for creating rules to replace specific characters in a string with other characters. For example, you can use this framework to remove inconsistent punctuation in data to maintain referential integrity across data sources. 

• New String Chaining Framework: A new framework, StringAlgorithmChain, has been added to simplify the process of creating chained algorithms. This works specifically with String-type algorithms and allows for the creation of output based on the combination of those algorithms. For example, some inputs may have a very low occurrence of specific values (think a department in a company with few members or an uncommon political affiliation). With deterministic masking, the occurrence frequency in the masked data could be used to infer the original value. A custom algorithm or regex framework could remove or alter the occurrence frequency of these inputs and ensure that the data is masked adequately. 
• Expanded Classifiers: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery has been expanded to add data discovery for medical codes (CPT, ICD-9, ICD-10), IBAN numbers, swift codes, and bank account routing numbers. Further, we’ve updated the “payment amount” classifier and added a type classifier for license plates. 
• Expanded Algorithms: New masking algorithms have been added for swift codes and bank account routing numbers.  
• UI Improvements: We have continued improving the user interface, replacing the monitoring function in this release.

• Password Vault Support for MariaDB/MySQL: Supported password vault platforms may now be used to authenticate the connections to MariaDB and MySQL databases.  
• Extended Email Algorithm: A new email algorithm has been introduced that allows for chaining existing algorithms to produce a combination of name and domain. For example, this will allow the chaining of existing first name, last name, and domain algorithms. This differs from the “Email Unique” algorithm in that the “Email Unique” algorithm aims to generate a unique email address with a string of characters rather than a standard human-readable name. The details of “Email Unique” can be found in the documentation.  
• Masking User Experience Improvements: The masking user experience overhaul continues with an update to the environment's ruleset page. 
• New Classifiers: In Automated Sensitive Data Discovery, classifiers identify different data types. We've added new classifiers for gender, sexual orientation, house number, marital status, language, ethnicity, blood type, prescription drugs, companies, job titles, and departments. 
• New Secure Lookup Algorithms: To pair with the new classifiers, we've added new Secure Lookup Algorithms for marital status, language, ethnicity, blood type, prescription drugs, job titles, and department. 
• SAP HANA: The JDBC Driver version 2.18.13 for SAP HANA SP07 is now supported. 

• New Multi-Column Conditional Algorithm Framework: We have added a new algorithm framework that enables conditional masking of a column. For example, this can be used to apply different Secure Lookups to a name column based on a language code. This will eliminate the need for scripting or custom frameworks that were previously required.  
• Additional Classifiers and Algorithms: We added additional classifiers, domains, and algorithms to allow you to find and mask age and location data easily.

• Improved support for Db2 z/OS: The Db2 z/OS database connector now supports automated management of constraints and triggers impacted by masked columns. This eliminates custom pre- and post-scripting. Note that due to the subtleties of the Db2 z/OS implementation, there is no support for automated management of indexes. 
• Password Vault for SAP ASE: Supported password vaults may now be used with SAP ASE (Sybase) databases. 
• Improved support for SQL Server: The SQL Server connector now supports leveraging Azure AD Service Principals. 
• Redeploy Support (Repave): Continuous Compliance engines may now be disconnected from their storage and redeployed, maintaining the previous configuration and data. Note that redeployment support only works with the same Delphix Engine version. 

• Document type masking support for Delimited File Fields (JSON and XML): Increasingly, XML and JSON data are stored in delimited file fields, often due to exporting a database table to a delimited file. Now, these fields can be assigned an appropriate file format, so fine-grained masking of the XML or JSON can be performed. 
• Improved Ruleset Auditing: We have enhanced our audit logging to include all items in a ruleset upon its deletion.  
• Masking UI Revamp: The database and JSON inventory pages have been completely revamped, with a number of ease-of-use enhancements like filtering, sorting, column-resizing, and overall performance improvements. We highly recommend upgrading to take advantage of this improvement. 
• SAP Accelerator: Various enhancements to streamline the rollout of our scrambling templates. 

• Updated Classifiers: We’ve added a new tranche of classifiers to discover additional sensitive data. These new classifiers include elements like medical record number, full name, age, and IP address. We have also improved several existing classifiers to better discover sensitive information, including credit card and bank account numbers. 
• Password Vault for IBM Db2 on LUW, iSeries, and z/OS: Supported password vaults may now be used with Db2 databases on LUW, iSeries, and z/OS systems.

• MongoDB on Ubuntu 24 LTS: Ubuntu 24 LTS operating system are now fully supported for MongoDB when using the 2025.2.1+ data source connector.
• Delphix Self-Service End of Life: We have removed Delphix Self-Service (aka JetStream) from Continuous Data and upgrades are disabled when any Self-Service configuration exists. The next generation of Self-Service experiences are now available in Data Control Tower.

• Offline Replication: Delphix now enables secure data replication between environments that cannot be directly connected, using an offline replication option. Initially supported via NFS only, the feature allows data from a source engine to be safely transferred and then accessed by a target engine in another segregated zone. This approach ensures compliance with strict isolation requirements while still providing seamless data movement across environments.
• Incremental V2P for Oracle (Preview): Traditional Virtual to Physical (V2P) exports data from a virtual database (VDB) to a physical database and can be valuable during disaster recovery or ransomware scenarios. Upon an event, immediate use of a VDB provides immediate operational support while the physical database is restored in the background allowing for full production restoration. This new capability restores any deltas on the VDB back to the physical database to ensure no transactions are lost.  Contact your Delphix Account Team to participate in our Preview program ahead of its full general availability in November 2025.
• AWS Secure Boot Instance: Secure Boot support is now available for Delphix engines.  This enhances the existing Amazon EC2 secure boot process by adding an extra layer of protection against threats that can survive reboots. It ensures instances only launch software signed with trusted cryptographic keys stored in the UEFI key database.

• IBM DB2 Transparent Data Encryption: The IBM DB2 connector now introduces support for Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with Backup Only (DPF and non-DPF) and HADR ingestions, enabling ingestion of encrypted source backups and provisioning of encrypted VDBs.
• MongoDB Multi-Node Certification: The MongoDB connector now supports creating the staging database across multiple nodes for Staging Push ingestion. In addition, we have certified MongoDB v7.x and v8.x versions.
• PostgreSQL Certification: PostgreSQL connector supports PostgreSQL v16.x on RHEL v8.5.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vault with TDE: We now support Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Vault. This enables secure key management for Oracle databases protected with TDE and managed within OCI-native services, aligning with enterprise cloud security requirements.
• Oracle Isolated Keystores with TDE: We added support for Oracle's Isolated Keystores, which allow each PDB (Pluggable Database) to have its own TDE keystore. This enhances security and compliance by enabling finer-grained encryption key management within Oracle Multitenant environments.
• Virtual to Physical for Oracle on File Systems: We now support exporting virtual Oracle databases to physical, non-multitenant Oracle instances running on File System storage using RMAN (backup as copy) as the file transfer mechanism. This capability expands the use case support of Delphix by enabling users to repave, migrate, or restore virtual data into production-like physical infrastructure.
• Oracle RMAN RATE for SnapSync: A new RMAN RATE parameter has been introduced when taking a snapshot of an Oracle dSource via the CLI. If this parameter is set, an upper limit will be set for the megabytes per second read rate while taking a snapshot of an Oracle dSource ensuring RMAN does not consume excessive disk bandwidth and degrade online performance.
• CockroachDB Advanced Data Operations: Admins and self-service users can now create snapshots for CockroachDB VDB. This feature also allows the creation and sharing of self-service bookmarks and the provisioning of new VDBs from the saved point in time (PIT).
• Yugabyte Anywhere: Starting with YugabyteDB plugin v2025.1.0, users can provision a staging database directly through Yugabyte Anywhere (YBA). Staging database can be restored from backups stored in Azure Blob Storage using the YBA restore workflow, streamlining cloud-native recovery process.  Full support for YB-Controller–generated backups on Azure Blob Storage is available when creating or resyncing staging databases.
• Oracle EBS Certifications: Delphix Continuous Data Engine 2025.2 is now certified for the following Oracle E-Business Suite configuration:

• SAP HANA Certification: Certification has been achieved for SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 07 on RHEL v9.4.

• Repave for Disaster Recovery: This feature automates engine backups every 15 minutes, storing them in a secure Delphix storage location. In a DR scenario, users can quickly repave a new engine by selecting the last good backup, eliminating manual backup and preparation steps for faster engine recovery.
• IBM s390x Platform support: With the Premium Connector for Mainframe, the IBM s390x platform can be virtualized with Continuous Data. The solution is currently supporting Linux distributions Ubuntu 22.04 and RHEL 9.4 and greater.
• Legacy Self-Service Unavailable: As another step towards End of Support, new installations of Continuous Data will by default no longer include the legacy Self Service UI, APIs, and CLIs. Engine upgrades to versions released between now and the September 2025 End of Support date will be unaffected. Please contact your Delphix Account team if your organization does not have a plan to migrate to Data Control Tower for Self Service.
• Always Encrypted in SQL Server: Continuous Data Engines now provide support for Always Encrypted, which is a feature designed to protect sensitive data by encrypting it both at rest and in transit. Customers need to generate encryption keys, store them in the Windows Certificate Store or a Key Vault, and transfer or import certificates to required hosts.
• MySQL: We introduced property inheritance into the connector to simplify provisioning and configuration by passing my.cnf properties from the dSource to downstream VDBs.
• Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS): Full hook utility support for the AIX operating system was added. In addition, all AppsTier installations on a single environment will be correctly discovered to enable users to quickly consolidate Source and Target environments.
• IBM Db2: Added to existing connector releases the support of IBM Db2 v11.5 and v12.1 on the RHEL v9.5 operating system.
• Oracle 23ai: Oracle 23ai is now supported starting with Continuous Data 2025.2.0.0. Refer to the Oracle matrix for supported configurations.

• SQL Server Scaling: SQL Server can now conditionally accommodate dSource sizes larger than the current 63TB limit. If the mount volume exceeds the default 90% utilization threshold and the feature flag is enabled, Delphix will automatically expand the volume to 255TB.
• SQL Server on Linux: Introduced a new select connector for Continuous Data to support SQL Server on Linux 2017 and 2019 virtualization. This offering complements the existing Continuous Compliance masking capabilities.
• Managed Admin Inheritance: To improve flexibility and security, admins can now control whether newly created admins can themselves create more admins. Existing admins can also have this ability removed if needed. Previously, any admin could create new admin accounts, which automatically inherited the same privileges.
• IBM Db2: Added support for IBM Db2 v11.5 on the IBM AIX v7.3 operating system. Standardized the dataset’s storage group and container data paths to improve resiliency during ingestion and provisioning operations.
• PostgreSQL: Added support for PostgreSQL v17 for the RHEL v9.x operating system. 

• SQL Server Availability Group - You can now provision virtual databases within a SQL Server Availability Group configuration on your target environment. This support enables the automation of SQL Server VDB provisioning directly into Availability Groups, streamlining deployment processes. Additionally, customers will enjoy substantial storage savings, as all nodes within the Availability Group are stored in Delphix Continuous Data's efficient storage. This feature is compatible with both Elastic Data and traditional storage configurations, providing flexibility for a range of use cases.
• Data Connector Documentation and Downloads Migration – We have moved connector documentation from the Delphix Continuous Data to the Delphix Ecosystem documentation site. This shift will enable us to version our connector documentation independently of engine releases. To match, connector downloads will move within the  Delphix Downloads Portal's Ecosystem section. 

• Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) of Oracle Multi-tenant, Pluggable Databases: Currently, users can export Oracle database data via V2P for Oracle multitenant pluggable databases to ASM. With this feature, we are enabling the data export to physical filesystems as well.   
• Oracle Virtual Pluggable Database (vPDB) Provisioning: Continuous Data Engines now support provisioning an Oracle vPDB from a snapshot of a non-multitenant source database to an existing virtual container database (vCDB). Previously, only physical container databases were supported as targets. It is important to note that the target virtual container database must already exist, and creating a new virtual target database during the conversion process is not supported. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is also not supported.  
• Yugabyte: The Yugabyte Anywhere (YBA) offering can now integrate with Yugabyte VDBs to enhance operational efficiency, such as in using YBA's alerts, monitoring, or backups.  
• Documentation: Broad improvements are introduced in the datasets documentation for Oracle and SQL Server data sources. 

• Repave for Elastic Data Engines: Following the initial phase of delivering Repave for all-block engines, we are delivering the same capability for engines configured with Elastic Data. This allows customers to replace Delphix Continuous Data engines with a new engine (same version) and reattach its storage.   
• AWS Amazon Linux Support for Unstructured Data (vFiles): Adds support of AWS Amazon Linux to our Unstructured Data Virtualization (vFiles) solution.   
• ESXi 8.0 u3 Support for the Delphix Platform: Starting from the 27.0 release, customers can upgrade or deploy engines with ESXi 8.0 u3.  
• IBM Db2: Added version validation between a snapshot and Target environments to ensure provision and refresh compatibility.

• IBM Db2: Certified IBM AIX v7.2 on POWER9 hardware.  
• MySQL: Certified MySQL and Percona v8.0 on RHEL v8.9 and lower. Redacted potentially sensitive data during the generation of support bundles. 

• NFS and iSCSI Encryption: The data transfer between Continuous Data and target/staging environments takes place through NFS & iSCSI. In our continuous effort to maintain the highest security standards, with this release we are introducing the ability to encrypt the iSCSI traffic.   
• Auto Restart of Oracle VDBs and VPDBs: The previous version of Continuous Data (24.0.0.0) supports the automatic restart for single-instance (i.e. non-RAC) environments only. We enhanced this capability to allow auto-restart of VDBS, VPDBS, and PDBS in Oracle RAC environments when the nodes are restarted.  
• Windows Connector Cipher Enhancements: We are enhancing the user experience and security of configuring the Windows connectors ciphers.   
• MySQL on AWS Support: Certified MySQL on Amazon Linux 2 host environments and the Staging Push linking strategy for AWS RDS and RDS Aurora.   
• Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS): Added support for specifying a second Oracle EBS Application Tier to support linking from disaster recovery sites. In addition, the Application Tier password updates now occur following the Enable/Disable operations to hasten the rotation process. 

• Engine Object Limit: To improve scalability, we are expanding the number of objects a Delphix Continuous Data engine can handle from 400 to 750.   
• K8s Driver: Introduced the ability to provision a PostgreSQL dataset using the K8s Driver from an existing PostgreSQL dSource. In addition, we have added Volume Cloning support, Tagging of VDBs, and various bug fixes. Please consult the K8s Driver documentation for more information.  
• PostgreSQL: Added the ability to provision datasets from existing PostgreSQL dSources. Simply ingest a source using the latest PostgreSQL connector and follow the K8s Driver Provision and enable documentation for more information.  
• Password Vault Credential Cache: In the current Password Vault implementation, the Delphix engine retrieves credentials on each Environment access request, which can quickly scale due to normal dataset activity. We are enhancing the feature to allow customers to have the ability to 'cache' the given credentials and prevent excessive calls to the configured Vault. 

• Elastic Data for GCP: We have expanded support of Elastic Data for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) object storage. Initially, our support is limited to GCP Standard Object Storage.  
• Sybase TLS/SSL: Delphix Continuous Data now supports security protocols for ASE instances that only use TLS/SSL connections authenticating via a client certificate.   
• PostgreSQL: We have added RHEL 9.x certification.  
• Documentation: We continue to make broad improvements across multiple areas of our Connector documentation, including Cassandra, MySQL, and SAP HANA. We have also revised documentation to clarify new upgrade paths for all connectors. 

• Windows AD Logging: Our SQL Server install base is growing fast, and our largest customers are experiencing excessive Active Directory login entries for their domain controllers. We have made improvements to provide the right amount of information without overflowing the logs. 
• Fluentd API Activity Log:  We now ship Nginx access logs to the Fluentd service to provide an audit trail of off-engine API activity. This visibility improves the ability to detect vulnerability exploit attempts. 
• YugabyteDB: The YugabyteDB database is now a supported Continuous Data source. 
• MySQL: Certified AWS RDS and RDS Aurora using the Staging Push ingestion mechanism and streamlined the Staging Push configuration for all sources.

• Documentation Updates: We have continued to make broad improvements across multiple areas of our documentation, including CockroachDB and MySQL.

• Customizable Local Listeners for Oracle MT RAC VDBs: Database administrators must configure database listener parameters for multiple reasons, notably security, performance optimization, and resource management. We now support customizing local listeners when provisioning a VDB in an Oracle RAC environment. In addition, this allows you to provision a VPDB into a new VCDB in a non-RAC or RAC environment, update local listeners for a VDB in a RAC environment, and update local listeners for a VCDB in a non-RAC or RAC environment. 
• Support Delphix Operations for Oracle RAC VDBs/VPDBs During Downtime: Oracle RAC is used for production databases to ensure their availability 24/7. To comply with business continuity guidelines, we now support the following VDB/VPDB operations when one or more hosts of the Oracle RAC clusters are down: Provisioning, enable/disable, refresh, start/stop, and rollback. This enhancement includes VDBs/VPDBs in VCDBs and Linked CDBs.  
• Staging Push Online DB Mode for SQL Server: We now support database online mode for Staging Push dSources for SQL Server, keeping the source database open for transactions, as needed. Before this enhancement, Staging Push source databases were required to be only in restoring mode. This enhancement is supported for SQL Server deployed on-premises and in the cloud (for self-managed databases and SQL PaaS environments). 
• IBM Db2: RHEL v9.2 is now supported for IBM Db2 v11.5, including IBM Db2 v11.5.9.

• Documentation Updates: We have made broad improvements across multiple areas of our documentation, including the Delphix Glossary, Datasets’ Getting Started, and PostgreSQL. 
• UI for Object Storage Connectivity Modification: We have implemented several enhancements to simplify the modification of object storage configuration. Specifically, the following can be modified: key rotation for security (key-based authentication), endpoint URL, region, and the ability to change between key-based and profile-based authentication. 
• Improved Elastic Data Migration: Leveraging Elastic Data with Continuous Data provides significant cost savings by leveraging object storage and block storage. We have decreased the time to execute migrating an engine from a standard Continuous Data Engine to an Elastic Data Engine without the need for replication. 
• TDE support for Hardware Security Module (HSM) solutions: Managing Oracle TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) across multiple Oracle environments can be challenging. TDE management solutions have been introduced to solve this challenge and are growing in popularity. Delphix can now connect to and leverage tools like OKV and CypherTrust to perform all operations within TDE environments managed by any of these tools. 
• SAP HANA: HANA SPS 06 and SPS 07 are now supported on the SUSE Operating Systems. 
• MongoDB: MongoDB is now supported on the RHEL 9.0 Operating System. 

• Decreased VDB Downtime: There are two types of upgrades for Continuous Data: full upgrades, where VDB downtime is incurred during a system reboot, and deferred updates, where there is no system reboot and, therefore, no downtime. Note that some features will require a full upgrade. We have improved the upgrade process for the full upgrades to delay the VDB downtime to just the system restart. VDBs remain running during the upgrade and are only down for the system reboot portion.  
• Object Storage Modification: Key rotation, endpoint URL, regions, and authentication types may now be modified for existing connected object storage through the API and CLI. 
• NFS Encryption: We have extended support for Repave and Oracle RAC configurations with NFS encryption. 
• IBM Db2 HealthChecker: The HealthChecker can now validate staging and target environment configuration to simplify implementation. This joins existing support for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). 
• PostgreSQL: Provided WAL Logs will no longer automatically roll forward a dSource.This action will only occur when a dSource snapshot is taken to eliminate unknown changes. 
• SAP HANA: Certified SAP HANA SPS 06 and 07. 

• NFS Encryption: Using encryption over NFS between Continuous Data engines and the target and staging hosts is now supported. Please consult with your account team as to whether this is an appropriate fit for your needs. 
• MySQL on Linux: Manual Ingestion has been renamed to Staging Push to standardize on Dephix’s established ingestion architectures. Strengthened the refresh and snapshot workflow to minimize occasional failures. Please review the upgrade path for installation guidance. 
• Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS): Updated our virtual database provisioning hooks to support the Solaris operating system. We recommend this release to all users as it contains various bugs and security fixes.  
• Couchbase: We have added support to define multiple buckets, configure RAM sizes, and the ability to ingest multiple full backups. Additionally, the connector will now report data source sizing. 
• Microsoft SQL Server Backup: We have enhanced the useability of data ingestion from Microsoft SQL Server on Azure by dynamically modifying the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and folders that different staging and target environment users own. 

• Redeploy Support (Repave): Continuous Data engines may now be disconnected from their storage and redeployed, maintaining the previous configuration and data. Redeployment support only works with the same Delphix Engine version. Currently, engine redeployment is not supported with Elastic Data engines. 

• Delphix Elastic Data Engine Migration: Continuous Data Engines using all-block storage may now be migrated to Elastic Data engines using object storage. Previously, this was only accomplishable via replication. 
• Export an Oracle non-multitenant or PDB snapshot to a physical Oracle ASM or Exadata database: This feature enables you to export data from an Oracle non-multitenant PDB snapshot or timeflow point to a physical Oracle database that uses Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM). This feature is especially useful for Oracle target environments running on Exadata or ExaCC systems. 
• Oracle VDB Provision to a Different Patch Version: You may now provision a VDB with a different Oracle patch version than the source. This will allow you to test Oracle patches on VDBs before committing to production. 
• SQL Server Provisioning Performance: We are enhancing the vDB provisioning performance for SQL Server by eliminating the need to run the checkpoint operation. 
• Improved Access Control List (ACL) Update time for SQL Server Filestream Files: During SQL Server transaction log ingestion, the time to update ACL on filestream files is longer than the transaction log interval, causing delays. We are opting to skip checking ACLs during VDB operations to overcome this issue. 
• Downloadable Fluentd Logs: The fluentd integration allows Continuous Data events to be exported to various supported third-party systems. You can now download Fluentd logs for analysis to better debug using those systems. 
• Changed Support Policy for Cloud Instance Types: Previously, we provided guidance on specific cloud instance types. Given the proliferation of instances and the speed at which the cloud vendors update these, we have moved to a system of general guidance–describing which families of instances are recommended and minimum requirements. These can be found in the documentation.  
• IBM Db2 Connector: SSL/TLS connections are now supported with HADR dSources. In addition, we have revised our linking process to guide configuration based on the ingestion method more clearly. 
• MySQL/Linux Connector: The creation, rollback, and refresh actions of VDBs are blocked when the target environment’s installed MySQL version is not the same as the dSource’s installed MySQL version. The Managed Source Data report and TB usage calculations now report on MySQL data. 
• Couchbase Connector: Couchbase v7.1.x Community and Enterprise Editions are now supported. 

• Elastic Data: We’ve rebranded “Cloud Engines” to “Elastic Data.” Continuous Data with Elastic Data allows you to leverage lower-cost object storage and traditional block storage. This dramatically decreases the operational cost of Continuous Data while enabling new use cases like long-term archival and retention.  
• Private Data Center Elastic Data: Previously, Elastic Data was only available for Continuous Data Engines deployed in AWS (using S3) or Azure (using BLOB storage). We now support deploying Elastic Data with on-premises, S3-compatible object storage arrays. 
• Elastic Data on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Elastic Data may now be used in OCI, providing decreased operational costs and new use cases, as mentioned above.  
• Replication Failback: In the case of a failure on a primary Continuous Data Engine, failover may be used to swap operations to a secondary Engine. Previously, this was a one-time, terminal action. With failback, you may restore operations to the primary engine if the failure has been resolved or if you simply want to test the failover process.  
• Oracle Staging Push: The Staging Push method of ingestion now supports point-in-time provisioning of data. 
• IBM Db2: SSL/TLS connections are now supported with HADR dSources. 
• MySQL/Linux: There is now guidance for upgrading Source, Staging, and Target environments from MySQL 5.7 to v8.0. In addition, new guardrails have been introduced to prevent incompatible refresh and rollback operations.  
• PostgreSQL: All RHEL v8.x operating systems are now supported. In addition, new protections have been introduced to prevent accidental modification of parameters via VDB Config Template configuration. 
• SAP HANA: VDB provisioning has been improved in scenarios when SAP HANA services “scriptserver” and others are missing volume information. 
• Support for Adoptium Java: By default, the Continuous Data Engine will push the Adoptium OpenJDK to connected environments. In addition to this, you can provide your own Oracle Java should you wish. Now, you also can provide your own Adoptium JDK. 
• ESXi 8.0 U1: Continuous Data may now be run on VMware ESXi 8.0 U1. 

• AI Assistant (Preview): Data Control Tower now includes a broadly capable AI Assistant that lets you interact with the platform in natural language across Virtualization, Masking, Administration, and Synthetic Data workflows. Rather than clicking through the UI or writing API calls, you can ask the Assistant to find objects, answer questions about your environment, and carry out supported actions on your behalf, all from a single conversational experience.  The AI Assistant is available as a Preview in this release. To learn more, see AI Assistant. 
• Data Control Tower-orchestrated engine upgrades (Preview): Data Control Tower introduces centralized, Data Control Tower-managed orchestration of Continuous Data and Continuous Compliance engine upgrades, allowing engine upgrades to be initiated, monitored, and managed centrally across a single engine or multiple engines rather than through each engine's local SysAdmin UI. This capability is available as an API-only preview in 2026.5. 
• Expanded Operations visibility: The Operations page now shows policy-triggered and engine-initiated actions alongside Data Control Tower-initiated jobs, deduplicated and attributed to the triggering policy or engine user. Job events are visible directly in Data Control Tower, and failed Virtualization operations show the engine's Description, Recommended Action, and Command Output in the detail panel so failures can be diagnosed without leaving Data Control Tower. 
• Delphix Telemetry enforcement: Telemetry registration and regular export upload is now required. New installations and upgrades must complete telemetry registration within 30 days, and customers registering offline must upload telemetry at least every 90 days thereafter. To learn more, see Registration and telemetry. 
• PostgreSQL Database version and support update: Data Control Tower 2026.5.0 upgrades its bundled PostgreSQL database from version 14 to version 18 via an in-place migration. As always, we recommend you take a full backup before upgrading. In addition, this release also certifies PostgreSQL 16.x as a supported external database backend.  

• Disaster Recovery: Introduced failover capability for the Data Control Tower appliance's Continuous Data and Administrative capabilities. You can pair two appliances allowing a backup to continuously replicate the primary database. If the primary is lost, the secondary is promoted to ensure minimal downtime and data loss.
• Bring Your Own AI: Delphix continues to provide choice and control with the proliferation of AI throughout the product experience.  You can now bring your own large language model such as OpenAI or Anthropic to power compute intensive AI workloads including new synthetic data capabilities.  Models may be assigned at the feature level and AI capabilities require explicit opt-in.
• Data Control Tower Toolkit Documentation Improvements: The Data Control Tower  Toolkit has been overhauled to make it easier to learn and use. Within the CLI itself, command help is reorganized with clear summaries and descriptions. The published toolkit documentation also now provides a new getting-started guide, a broader set of working examples, and a mapping of DX toolkit commands to their Data Control Tower  toolkit equivalents.
• GCP and KVM Appliance: The Data Control Tower appliance can now be deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a Compute Engine instance. Delphix publishes a public GCE Custom Image for each Data Control Tower release, which can be referenced directly when creating an instance, requiring no download or manual import. For air-gapped or restricted environments, a manual import path using a tar.gz file and the gcloud CLI is also available.  The Data Control Tower  Appliance is now also available as KVM, which includes support for KVM-based platforms such as Nutanix.
• Delphix Terraform Provider: The delphix_engine_configuration Terraform resource now supports GCP enabling infrastructure-as-code deployments of Delphix Engines on GCP.
• Column Filter Update:  The default matching behavior for column filters across all Data Control Tower data tables has been updated from "equals" to "contains” with letter casing ignored. Column filters now return partial text matches by default, providing a more flexible and intuitive filtering experience when working with tabular data.
• Engine Timeflow Bookmark Migration: Data Control Tower can now bring in timeflow bookmarks that were created directly on the Delphix Engine rather than through Data Control Tower itself. A new API endpoint discovers these engine side bookmarks within a dataset group, virtual database, or dSource and migrates them into Data Control Tower managed bookmarks, preserving the underlying engine data along the way.

• Continuous Data in Data Control Tower: Data Control Tower now delivers full feature parity with Continuous Data across all supported data connectors. Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SAP ASE, Unstructured Files, and all other connector types are now fully supported in Data Control Tower, including environment creation, dSource linking, snapshot ingestion, and VDB provisioning, through both the UI, API, and CLI.
  • This milestone completes the multi-release Continuous Data parity initiative. Data Control Tower is now the recommended platform for all day-to-day database administration, giving administrators a single control plane across their entire Continuous Data footprint with full self-service access for database administrator users. 
    • We encourage all Delphix administrators to install Data Control Tower and migrate their database management workflows. As part of this release, Continuous Data documentation has been migrated into and updated for the Data Control Tower documentation site. Engine-based usage of Continuous Data should continue to use the previously existing Continuous Data documentation.  
• Continuous Data for PaaS (Early Access): Data Control Tower-managed PaaS Instances and PaaS DBs now include a Compliance tab on their details pages. The Compliance tab provides an integrated view of Masking and Profiling status, connector management, and job collection assignment — enabling compliance workflows directly within Data Control Tower. The Compliance tab is only available on managed downstream databases and instances. It is not displayed on Root Sources or unmanaged databases to prevent accidental masking of production data. 
• Hyperscale Compliance on Data Control Tower for Oracle (Early Access): Data Control Tower now includes an integrated user interface for managing Hyperscale Compliance workflows for Oracle databases. Users can configure and execute Hyperscale masking jobs, monitor orchestrator flows, and track job execution and status, all from within Data Control Tower, without needing to interact with Hyperscale directly. 
  • This release brings together orchestrator flow management, job creation and monitoring, and real-time execution tracking into a unified Data Control Tower experience, with algorithm synchronization across Hyperscale nodes handled automatically in the background. 
  • To participate in the Early Access program, please contact [email protected]. 
• Delphix MCP Server Additional Operations (Community): The Delphix MCP Server has been extended with full CRUD operations for Continuous Data and platform administration. Users can now perform a wide range of data workflows, including provisioning VDBs, refreshing datasets, creating and managing bookmarks, taking snapshots, updating tags, and executing bulk operations, directly through any MCP-compatible AI client.
  • This opens new opportunities for AI-driven workflows, such as understanding storage relationships and data lineage, or combining VDB provisioning with infrastructure automation (e.g., Terraform deployments), significantly simplifying Delphix onboarding and day-to-day operations for both administrators and self-service users.
  • Operations are organized into persona-based toolsets to limit token consumption and improve AI quality. A manual confirmation mechanism is included for destructive actions that could result in permanent data loss. The ability to perform these operations is governed by each user's existing Data Control Tower access controls and RBAC permissions.
  • For additional information, see the MCP Server GitHub repository. 
• AI Help Update: The AI Documentation Help now automatically searches the documentation that matches the currently installed Data Control Tower version, ensuring that responses are accurate for your specific release. Searches are scoped to Data Control Tower and Ecosystem documentation (Data Connectors and DevOps Integrations) only — for additional documentation or to search across versions, visit the public documentation site.  
• Dark Mode (Preview): Data Control Tower now supports a dark display mode. Users can toggle between light and dark modes by selecting the moon or sun icon in the top-right corner of the interface. This is a per-user preference that persists across sessions. 
• Delphix Synthetic Data (Preview): A pre-GA version of Synthetic Data Generation is available through a separate, standalone Data Control Tower release for early adopters.  

To participate in the Preview program, please contact [email protected]. 

• Continuous Data for PaaS (Early Access): Automate and mask PaaS databases throughout your cloud test data landscape using Data Control Tower, without requiring Delphix virtualization engines on the target infrastructure.  Continuous Data for PaaS (previously PaaS Data Automation) is available as an Early Access release.

Both connectors are packaged together, allowing you to select your preferred connector during installation. You can switch between Oracle and MSSQL as needed, with one active connector at a time for streamlined operations.
• AWS S3 Staging: The Hyperscale File Connector now supports AWS S3 staging, giving customers flexibility to use cloud-hosted object storage for file masking workflows.
• NetApp S3-Compatible Connectivity: The Hyperscale File Connector now supports NetApp S3-compatible connectivity for both source and target, enabling direct ingestion and delivery of files from S3 repositories for streamlined masking workflows.

• VM Appliance (for Oracle): We’ve made it easier to deploy Hyperscale Compliance by packaging it as an OVA image for Oracle environments. This approach simplifies installation and sets the stage for adding all Hyperscale data sources in future releases. Container-based deployments remain supported for Oracle as well as all other data sources.
• Enhanced MongoDB Profiler: Our independent MongoDB profiler, designed as a NoSQL alternative to Automated Sensitive Data Discovery (ASDD), now offers functional parity with ASDD’s best features. It includes data-level profiling, custom profile sets, and improved randomness for a stronger and more consistent discovery process.
• Oracle Post Load Performance Optimization: We’ve introduced a tunable performance enhancement for the Post Load step in Hyperscale job execution for Oracle environments. By creating indexes in parallel with constraints, the post-load phase runs faster, resulting in improved end-to-end job execution times. This is especially important for complex datasets with large index and constraint builds, where eliminating this bottleneck significantly accelerates job completion without compromising data integrity.

• Hadoop Enhancements: We have strengthened Hadoop support across our Compliance solutions to give you more flexibility and tighter alignment with your existing workflows.
  • Profiling (Continuous Compliance): The engine can now profile files inside Hadoop using a Hive JDBC driver.
  • Masking (Hyperscale Compliance): You can now mask data directly to Hive databases, not just HDFS.
  • Sync (Continuous Compliance to Hyperscale): Hive-based compliance inventories can now be synced with the file connector.

Hadoop File Workflows: Two key improvements were delivered to Hadoop Hyperscale Compliance solution. First, support for direct Parquet masking allows files to be sent straight to the compliance engine without conversion to other formats, streamlining performance for large-scale workflows. Second, we’ve introduced automated HDFS active server discovery, eliminating manual IP updates and reducing downtime during active/standby failovers.

• Snowflake on Azure: Hyperscale Compliance now supports Snowflake deployments on Azure, extending our existing AWS coverage. This enhancement allows customers to mask data in Snowflake without consuming Snowflake compute - preserving cloud performance and cost efficiency while meeting compliance goals at scale.
• Streamlined Parquet Workflows: Hyperscale now supports direct Parquet file processing on compliance nodes - eliminating the need to convert Parquet files to CSV before masking. This enhancement improves performance, reduces storage overhead, and streamlines workflows for cloud-native datasets stored in formats like S3 or Azure Blob.

Snowflake on AWS S3: The Snowflake Hyperscale Connector delivers high-speed, cost-efficient masking for big data used in AI and analytics. By leveraging Snowflake Load/Unload and AWS S3, large datasets can be rapidly masked without increasing Snowflake compute costs. The new Snowflake Profiler automatically detects sensitive data, inventories key columns, and submits metadata to the DataSets API, streamlining compliance for AI/ML and analytics pipelines.

• File Connector Enhancements - Parameters such as writer type, spark configuration settings, and max worker threads for each Hyperscale file connector job can now be configured without restarting your containers.  You also can now apply different settings in parallel because variables are job and not container specific. See Kubernetes and OpenShift documentation to configure the source and target connector types. 

• File Connector "Staging Push": Introduced feature that allows users to bypass the unload and load processing steps. This allows users to directly provide source files at a mount point mapped to the staging area. Instead of using writers to parse the source files during unload, a link to the files is created within the staging area and passed to the Continuous Compliance engine. During the load operation, the masked files will be available as links in the target location. Note, the staging push feature is restricted to delimited files.  
• Oracle Dataset Filtering: You can now filter the source data to be processed by a Hyperscale job by applying a "where clause" filter condition in a job's data set. The "where clause" condition is added in unload SQL queries when fetching the data from a source database. 

• Multiple Date Formats for MSSQL Connector: Provides the ability to automatically handle multiple date formats within a single job. This removes the limitation from jobs that require all date/timestamp columns in the dataset to have the same date formats.   
• AWS S3 as a Staging Area: Adds the ability to use AWS S3 buckets as a staging area for Hyperscale Compliance. Note this feature is only available for Kubernetes deployment mode.   
• Unload Split Calculation: An automatic calculation of unload split for Oracle DataSource has been added to eliminate the need to manually provide the number of splits. This not only saves time, but also makes the product more user-friendly and scalable.  
• Kubernetes Deployment Configurations: Users can now specify resource requests and limits for a Kubernetes deployment.   

• Hadoop: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) data sources are now supported by Hyperscale Compliance.  
• Delimited and Parquet Files: The Delimited and Parquet File Connectors are now consolidated into a single File Connector to simplify implementation configurations.   
• Oracle Date Formats: We have introduced a feature that automatically handles multiple date formats within a single job. This removes the limitation from jobs that required all date/timestamp columns in the dataset to have the same date formats. Also starting this release, you no longer need to configure any unload/load date format environment variables to mask date/timestamp columns.  
• MS SQL: We have made important improvements to both the unload and load processes, including the addition of date and time filtering on the unload and connection pooling on the load.   

• Automated handling of Microsoft SQL Server partitioned indexes: Hyperscale now automates the handling of partitioned indexes (clustered and non-clustered), ensuring that partition indexes are dropped before load starts and created again once data is loaded back into the target database, saving users scripting time as well as improving overall job performance.  
• Handling of WARNING status for Continuous Compliance Jobs: Hyperscale Compliance now handles a new job status. The behavior of Hyperscale Jobs with Continuous Compliance jobs in the new WARNING status is controlled via a flag added to the Hyperscale Job configurations. For configuration details and examples, refer to the Jobs API section on How to setup a Hyperscale Compliance job page. 

• Automated handling of Oracle BLOB/CLOB Columns: Users now save time by automating the handling of Oracle BLOB/CLOB columns, ensuring that null or empty string values are managed seamlessly.   
• Automated configuration of mount filesystem: New time-saving configuration settings enable the automatic configuration of the mount filesystem during application startup.   
• MongoDB connector security enhancements: The MongoDB Hyperscale connector now supports Reduced Privilege Operations.  
• Deployment platform certifications: Hyperscale Compliance now runs on AWS EKS for the Parquet and Delimited connectors and OpenShift for the MongoDB connector. 

• MongoDB Connector Enhancements: Any Hyperscale MongoDB job, including the active unload, masking, and load tasks, can now be canceled while in process. The MongoDB connector can now generate a support bundle through APIs, like the existing feature for Oracle and MSSQL. The generated bundle will only have information on the controller and masking services for the Delimited and Parquet connectors.  
• Deployment platform certifications: We have certified both the Oracle and MSSQL connectors on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). 

• AWS S3: We now support AWS S3 as a source and target location for the Delimited connector, in addition to the existing support for mounted filesystems (FS). 
• Support Bundle APIs: Technical support bundles can now be efficiently generated asynchronously through APIs for Oracle and MSSQL connectors. For more information, refer to How to generate a support bundle. 
• Import Masking Jobs: The job sync function has been improved to import jobs with rulesets containing structured data applied to data columns. A structuredDataFormats connector and a dataset are ready for immediate use upon import.   
• OpenShift Support: Hyperscale Compliance can now be installed and hosted on an OpenShift cluster for Oracle, MSSQL, Parquet, and Delimited Connector data sources. In addition, multiple customization options have been added to leverage persistent volumes. 

• NFS Support for Parquet: The Parquet connector now supports using local storage as both a source and target for Parquet files. 
• Sharding support for MongoDB: The MongoDB connector now supports sharded MongoDB databases. 

• Parquet Support: Hyperscale Compliance now supports masking Parquet files. Note that the Hyperscale Orchestrater must be sized correctly to handle Parquet files. 

• Embedded XML/JSON: Applications increasingly store state as semi-structured data. To better cover these cases, masking XML and JSON content embedded in delimited files is now supported.  
• Hyperscale UI in Data Control Tower: Hyperscale Compliance users can now leverage the Hyperscale User Interface in Data Control Tower to manage hyperscale orchestrators, manage and execute hyperscale jobs, and monitor job progress.   

• MongoDB: MongoDB databases can now be masked with Hyperscale Compliance with horizontal-scale speed. 

• Delimited Files Connector: You can now use Hyperscale Compliance to mask collections of delimited files of your choice. This connector allows you to bring the horizontal, high-speed masking of Hyperscale Compliance to data outside of end-to-end supported database types.

Continuous Data Oracle LiveSource EOL: We had previously announced the deprecation of Oracle LiveSource in July 2024. Continuous Data 2025.2 will be the last release with support for Oracle LiveSource and will be fully removed in 2025.3.

Continuous Data User Interfaces End of Life: As we transition to a Data Control Tower (Data Control Tower) platform experience, we are sunsetting all Continuous Data management and setup interfaces. The transition happens in stages:

1. September 2026:  Starting with 2026.5, new engine installations will no longer include the Management UI, while upgraded engines are unaffected.
2. July 2027: With 2027.4, all UI, CLI, and API interfaces are removed from new installs and upgrades, marking End of Maintenance; support will continue to triage issues and offer reasonable workarounds, with equivalent fixes delivered through Data Control Tower or interface-free engine upgrades.
3. January 2029: End of Maintenance and Support concludes in 2029.

As you migrate, your data, dSources, virtual databases, and configurations remain fully intact; only the interfaces change. All Delphix customers are entitled to Data Control Tower, and we recommend installing it and connecting your engines now to begin the transition.
