Case Study: Molina Healthcare achieves rapid application delivery and massive storage savings with Delphix

Delphix supports growth while controlling costs and ensuring HIPAA compliance

Molina Healthcare, a Fortune 500 managed-care company serving over three million members primarily through Medicare and Medicaid, faced rapid growth from acquisitions and policy changes that tripled revenue and data volumes. The IT organization needed to scale infrastructure, integrate disparate systems to meet state and federal requirements, control rising storage costs and ensure HIPAA-compliant handling of PHI while accelerating delivery of new features.

By deploying Delphix, Molina onboarded over 3,000 databases and more than a petabyte of data, reducing environment setup from weeks to minutes and provisioning time from 2–3 days to about 10 minutes. Delphix’s data-masking secured PHI for non-production use, enabled self-service data branching and bookmarking, cut application project schedules by roughly 50%, and shrank storage from 4PB to 200TB—saving an estimated $6–$10 million over three years while keeping database administration costs flat.
