Solix Secure Test and Development

Database Application Development best practices suggest copying the production application to
support efforts such as test, QA and training. Most companies make full copies of the database
when the test requirements do not require the entire data set. Solix’s Instance Subsetting along
with Oracle Data Masking Pack for Enterprise Manager reduces copies of the production database
by removing unnecessary sets of database data, reducing storage footprint and eliminating risk of
exposing sensitive data in non-secure environments. Solix’s unique metadata driven approach
allows customers to implement the right solution to solve an immediate pain point while leverag-
ing that same investment across the enterprise.

Why Instance Subsetting? ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

1. Deploy Subset Policies Based on
Application Metadata & Subset
Volumes
Define the application metadata
once, leverage repeatedly to define
multiple subset policies. Different
copies require different subsets of
test data. Deploy the appropriate
subset method based on the
required volumes
Reduce Cloning Times from Days to Hours
- Automated process
- Parallel copy process
- Irrespective of Production Database size
Open interface to integrate with 3rd party virtualization solutions
- Smaller clones reduce storage and server requirements
- Test and dev clones are “right-sized” to business need

2. Eliminate Unauthorized Access of

- Delete, Truncate and Insert methods for subsetting
Sensitive or Corporate Confidential - Database , Application and Schema cloning

Data security with Oracle Data Masking Pack for Enterprise Manager
Define subset policies to remove

data, such as financial, HR or sales - Supports data masking, encryption/decryption, substitution,
data from copies.
shuffling and nulling
3. Improve TCO by reducing cloning
times and storage requirements Integration with Oracle Enterprise Manager
By creating copies of data which - Supports Oracle Data Masking Pack
only includes that data which is - Provides end-to-end Monitoring & Application Life Cycle Management
needed, the resulting cloning
times & storage requirements are
significantly reduced.
