Case Study: GAIN Capital accelerates DevOps and cuts test data provisioning time with Perforce Delphix

GAIN Capital cuts database copy time from 4 hours to 3 minutes with Perforce

GAIN Capital, a leading provider of contracts for derivatives trading, faced a significant challenge as manual test data processes were slowing innovation and acting as a development bottleneck. Their teams needed fresh production data copies for up to eight simultaneous projects, a process that took hours and demanded careful coordination, which ultimately delayed new projects. To address this, they turned to Perforce and its Delphix DevOps Data Platform.

Perforce implemented the Delphix platform to virtualize, govern, and deliver data for SQL Server-based applications. This solution automated test data delivery, providing developers with self-service access. The results were substantial: the time to create database copies was reduced from four hours to just three minutes. This acceleration allowed GAIN Capital to reduce development cycle times by 75%, increase business output by 20%, and lower infrastructure costs by removing QA environments.
