Change the Physics of Data
Data is growing fast across cloud and on-premises with access demands — including DevOps, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), test data management, artificial intelligence (AI) — only increasing. Continuous Data from Perforce Delphix contains sprawl and delivers application data in minutes, not days.
The Perforce Delphix Difference: Continuous Data
Key Capabilities of Continuous Data
Most teams maintain 7 to 10 non-production environments for every production source, including environments for development, testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), analytics, and training. Most contain nearly identical data.
With data virtualization technology to sync, store, and share across environments, Continuous Data reduces data footprints by 10x. And because virtual environments are provisioned from existing data blocks, provisioning times are 100x faster.
Many IT teams today still rely on ticket-driven IT workflows for standing up and refreshing data. Continuous Data replaces slow, manual processes with fast, automated provisioning, and self-service data access.
- Instant virtual data delivery.
- Self-service access for developers, testers, and data scientists.
- APIs for integration into DevOps, CI/CD, and AI pipelines.
Continuous Data non-disruptively syncs data from sources, retaining data in 100x less space than traditional snapshot and backup solutions. It provides continuous, granular data protection critical for ransomware recovery, deleted data, and other types of data loss.
- 100x better data protection space efficiency.
- RPO in seconds.
- RTO in minutes.
Each Continuous Data software engine can connect to multiple source apps and provides virtual databases and files for 10s to 100s of environments. Each virtual dataset is provisioned as an independent network mount.
- Additional engines deploy quickly for scale-out performance.
- Support for 1,000s of apps across clouds — with exabytes of data under management.
- Virtualized shared data blocks in memory to operate independent, read/write environments with high performance.
How Continuous Data Works
Sync with Production Applications
Continuous Data software engines connect with enterprise applications, capture existing production data, and remain synchronized with production sources.
- Support various sources across on-premises, IaaS, and PaaS environments.
- Non-disruptive sync.
- Replicate data from on-premises to engines in the cloud and back again.
Store an Immutable Data Record
Ingest changed data to build a continuous data record. By maintaining a comprehensive data timeline, Continuous Data lets teams provision data from the latest state or from a past point in time.
- Capture only changed data to preserve storage and bandwidth.
- Granular data history down to the second or transaction.
- Immutable record for data protection use cases.
Provision Virtual Data Copies
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.
- Streamlined provisioning process.
- Deliver data without consuming more storage.
- Fully functional read/write copies.
Featured Integrations for Continuous Data
Delphix Continuous Data is both open and highly extensible. It connects to a broad range of data sources. It also provides a comprehensive set of APIs, CLIs, and UIs to manage all data operations in any environment.

Delphix Continuous Data automates and accelerates the process of delivering data to non-production environments used for development, testing, analytics, and AI. Virtual data copies from Continuous Data are delivered instantly, consume a fraction of the storage compared to physical copies, and can be refreshed, bookmarked, branched, and shared at will.
Data virtualization from Delphix reduces storage requirements and eliminates data delivery bottlenecks that slow down development, testing, analytics, and AI initiatives. Delphix also integrates data virtualization with data masking to neutralize sensitive data risks in non-production environments.
Delphix supports a broad range of databases, data warehouses, data lakes, files, and other repositories in the cloud or on-premises.
Continuous Data is the Delphix product that provides data virtualization capabilities. It is a foundational part of the DevOps Data Platform.
Continuous Compliance is the Perforce Delphix product that provides data masking capabilities. It seamlessly integrates with Continuous Data.
