I.T. Departments require real test beds for new and changing applications.  The optimal test environment is an exact replica of the production system.  This is not always a reality because of several factors including DASD, CPU power, and most importantly the right tools to create the test system.

Growing production data should mean growing test data.  This growth in data creates a real challenge to replicate a system or even an application to test system.  Some processes adversely affect the production system in their attempt to capture the data, while others simply take too much time and effort.  DBAs simply do not have the time to spend creating test data while maintaining their production environments. 

CDB provides streamlined solutions to the I.T. data replication problem.  CDB offers several options to provide the flexibility businesses need to create an infrastructure in which applications can easily and reliably be deployed. 

The CDB data replication solutions vary based on the need for availability, scalability, scope of replication and if log data is required.  Each offering provides easy-to-use and flexible data replication that improves reliability of applications while also improving efficiency of the I.T. department.
