The speed of innovation and ability to adapt to rapidly changing market trends rests on the agility of your release cycle and the ability to quickly diagnose, triage, and fix errors. Data virtualization is the critical lever used by forward-thinking enterprises to provision production-quality data to dev and test environments on demand or via APIs. Furthermore, data virtualization provides the ability to securely manage and distribute policy-governed virtual copies of production-quality datasets. No matter the underlying database management system (DBMS) or source database location, data virtualization technology creates block-mapped virtual copies of the database for rapid and controlled distribution all while leaving a minimal storage footprint no matter how many copies are used. In view of these, we’ve invited Shaun Paterson, the Managing Director of Grover Consult based from Manila, Philippines as he shares with us his valuable insights on the optimal use of database virtualization and its significant importance to our digital economy.
