Case Study: Channel 4 Television achieves faster application releases with Perforce Delphix

Channel 4 Television delivers 18TB of virtual data in minutes with Perforce

Channel 4 Television, a major UK public service broadcaster, faced a challenge where refreshing approximately 18TB of data for its test environments was a slow, manual process that took days or weeks. This delay inhibited system agility and prevented timely application development for its critical Broadcast Management and Advertising Sales systems. To overcome this, Channel 4 turned to the Perforce Delphix DevOps Data Platform.

By implementing Perforce Delphix for data virtualization, Channel 4 automated its data management and enabled self-service, secure data delivery from DBAs to developers. The solution drastically accelerated data refreshes, reducing a process that used to take days down to just minutes. This allowed Channel 4 to release applications faster and with greater confidence, significantly improving its operational efficiency.
