Case Study: Bennetts boosts database development productivity with Redgate SQL Clone

Bennetts speeds database provisioning in seconds with Redgate SQL Clone

The customer, Bennetts, a UK-based motorbike insurance provider, faced a challenge where its development team's productivity was hampered by working on a single shared test database. This caused conflicts and delays, as changes by one developer could disrupt others. The team sought a dedicated database development model but was blocked by the high cost and time required to provision copies via traditional backup and restore methods. The vendor, Redgate, offered its product SQL Clone as a potential solution.

Redgate's SQL Clone provided a lightweight database provisioning mechanism that allowed Bennetts to create clones in seconds using minimal disk space. This solution gave each developer their own copy of the database for conflict-free development and testing. The result was significantly improved productivity for the team, enabling faster delivery of changes and the new ability to test different approaches simultaneously.
