Case Study: Channel 4 achieves faster innovation and rapid data delivery with Delphix

Channel 4 Looks to Delphix to Support Innovation in Data Delivery and Operations

Channel 4, a major UK public service broadcaster, relied on complex Broadcast Management and Advertising Sales systems plus large data warehouses to deliver programming and commercial insights. Agile and DevOps practices were held back by slow, manual data refreshes—about 18TB for test environments—which increased storage and tooling costs and delayed deployments and reporting.

By deploying the Delphix DevOps Data Platform, Channel 4 automated data provisioning and used Delphix APIs to connect DBAs and developers; the solution was tested and live within weeks. What once took days now takes minutes, enabling more production-like environments, faster releases, improved reporting and operational efficiency, and accelerated innovation across the business.
