Enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, and training. Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment. Database masking provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.

Data auditing provides enterprises with the tools to classify data based on its sensitivity, define policies at the database level that determine how that data should be managed, and automatically monitors and logs any changes to application data.

Application retirement is a viable strategy for eliminating redundant legacy applications, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. By reducing the number of applications within the IT infrastructure, DBAs can concentrate on maintaining critical business applications with the highest value to the organization, instead of compiling data from disparate sources.
