DevOps is Here- the Why
• 20%+ increase to the development cycle with
DevOps
• Almost 25% increase in collaboration between
departments
• Almost 50% increase in revenue
• 53% businesses will require more personnel to
satisfy DevOps needs.

Databases Administrator- In or Out?
• Databases are consistently viewed as slowing the
development cycle down.
• But change adds risk and often deters from agile
and DevOps practices.
• The DBA has essential skills to add to these
teams, but is avoided in fear of delays and failures.

Data Causes Friction
• If those managing the data sources aren’t included and working well
with those needing that data to produce features and products,
friction is the result.
• DBAs are consistently working with archaic utilities that guarantee
outcome, rarely speed of results.
A DBA is only as good as their last
backup.

What is Data Gravity?
Data Gravity is the ability for data to attract
applications, services, etc. As with the laws of
physical gravity, data, due to its mass, will
attract all else that has less mass.

“All else is seldom equal.”

When you consider…
An estimate of a 10% increase in data
accessibility will result in more than $65
million in additional net income, you can see
why data gravity is a big deal.

How much data are we talking about?
• More data has been created in just the last
two years than the previous history of
humanity
• 1.7MB of new information created every
second per human on the planet.
• Introduction of big data often has same
development pain points.

Data Increases…
• DBAs are busier
• Development cycle shortens
• Demands increase
• DBA is less available
• Previous way of performing refreshes,
provisioning and supporting are no longer
sustainable.

Older Cloning Methods

15. © 2017 Delphix. All Rights Reserved. Private and Confidential.
Who Has Time for THAT?
• Copies requires adequate storage.
• Requires more resources- demands on people
and technology
• Agile moves fast and data, (traditionally) moves
slow.
• More inline with archaic data movement tools.

Virtualize
Compress and Dedup

Create as Many Copies as Needed
• No more waiting for a physical clone
• Uses the same native backup files that DBAs
depend on, but in a new way
• Free up the DBA to work on others tasks
• Development, testing, QA, Reporting, Offload
of Batch and ETL processing
• Test backups and simplify patching and
upgrading.

Virtualized Database, (VDB)

Now to Escape the Data Gravity
• Provision in minutes, not days or weeks
• Refreshes almost instantaneously
• Self-service portal for developers and testers to
refresh and develop they way they do in an
agile environment.
• Tools with an interface made for Agile and
Development data at its focus.

Group Environments into Data Pods

21. © 2017 Delphix. All Rights Reserved. Private and Confidential.
Why Create Data Pods
• Development is done by project or feature vs.
tier or product.
• With the introduction to the cloud, the
business requires those that can do more at a
global scale.
• Ease of management and maintenance
• Provide more value to the business

The Facts
• Know that DevOps is part of the DBAs role of
the future.
• Data is central to evolving DevOps due to
data gravity
• Data creates friction between valued groups
of IT

23. © 2017 Delphix. All Rights Reserved. Private and Confidential.
The Solution
• The DBA evolves from database centric to
DevOps focused and further to DataOps.
• Enable the business by removing data
gravity and the friction it causes
• Virtualize environments
• Create data pods to simplify and empower
environment management.
