Classification: InBrief
Enov8 VirtualizeMe (“vME”) is a database virtualisation solution, meaning that it allows you to rapidly deliver extremely lightweight database clones to your development and testing teams. These clones can be created and destroyed at will, and have a very small storage footprint. Due to these features, personalised instances of each clone can be distributed to any and all of the relevant users. vME can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, and is currently available on the AWS Marketplace.
The primary (though not the only) use for database virtualisation, and vME by extension, is test data management: by testing with entire, virtualised databases, you ensure that the range of data you are testing with is comprehensive while maintaining test speed, in turn preventing test data from becoming a bottleneck to your wider testing and development processes. vME in particular is well-suited to creating virtualised test data sets, and is capable of both centrally managing and accelerating your test data operations while reducing wait times and minimising disk storage.
