Delphix Brings Virtualization to Databases

Thanks for the great post, Mike. A significant percentage of the I/O for all the virtual databases is served from memory in the Delphix Server, which is part of our performance layer. The data files and logs themselves, however, are stored in standard enterprise disk or SSDs assigned to our application, so they are not permanently resident in memory. Most of the virtual databases running on a Delphix Server will have nearly identical data, so they really benefit from our global hot cache for reads and our write logging. The typical 10x storage reduction comes from actual disk storage savings (not trading disk storage for memory). For more information, you can download a white paper at: http://fwd4.me/eBs.
