Case Study: Delta Dental achieves cloud data agility and security with Delphix

Delta Dental Increases Data Agility and Security for the Cloud

Delta Dental, the holding company for the largest dental benefits system in the U.S., needed to move key applications and data to the cloud to improve scalability and time to market. Progress was slowed because dev/test environments lacked realistic data, traditional migrations were manual and took up to eight weeks, and Delta Dental had to protect PII/PHI to meet regulatory and security requirements before moving data to AWS.

Delta Dental implemented a hybrid cloud using AWS and the Delphix DevOps Data Platform to non‑disruptively capture, mask, and replicate production data to the cloud, enabling instant provisioning of virtual, space‑efficient data copies for dev/test. The change cut data migration time from eight weeks to hours, reduced AWS storage needs (notably for a 16TB claims database), delivered secure, HIPAA‑compliant test data to 200+ developers in minutes, and significantly accelerated application delivery and scalability.
