Environments Provisioning


Environments provisioning and management is a key part of the CI/CD process.

You cannot achieve true CI/CD flow without addressing data and environments provisioning, which is getting the right data to the right environment, making it accessible by the right people at the right time in a secure and compliant manner.

Imagine an organization that has a production database of 20TB and also have and maintain more than 40 environments for their testing and development projects. The cost for the infrastructure and for the maintenance of these environments is huge and is continuously growing along with the databases’ size.

Each organization typically has six to seven copies of a database for every production copy. After each change in the production environment, all the other environments need to refreshed and this process of provisioning and masking the production data could take days or even weeks.

The amount of stored data is growing day by day, and with complex applications processing data from many different sources—it is increasingly time consuming to find data that matches the needs for testers and developers. Traditional approaches would proceed with making full-production copies of test data—upward of tens of millions of records—to use in the testing and development cycle. And the process is often repeated for each layer of testing.


Deliver secure DevTest environments with quality data on demand!

In many cases, Release managers, Project Managers, QA, and DevOps teams struggle to get accurate information about configuration and status of their DevTest Environments. In worst cases, teams may spend days before realizing they worked on outdated environments. In addition without proper scheduling and orchestration, teams have no or little ability to prevent missing environments, utilization conflicts, unwanted changes or configuration gaps.
ConnectIQ provides the solution to book, plan and maintain all environment activities. It enables the fast delivery of secure, personalized data environments with masked and secure data in minutes addressing the data friction in the CI/CD process.
