TDMS evaluation

139 Views

Hi,

We are currently evaluating the purchase of TDMS product. The main drivers are :

1. Speed up the QA system refresh process. Currently it takes 10 days (Tape restore filesystems, database steps, BDLS, post refresh activites) our database size is close to 10TB. We have requirement to refresh our QA system once in a quarter to build test data. The QA systems are down for the 10 period during the refresh

2. Reduce the storage space in QA systems. We do not want to copy the entire tranasction data . reduce the cost of storage

3. Create multiple test env as and when required

4. Our is 24/7 operation and with very limited maintennance windows. We do not want to impact production system performance.

Can you please provide you valuable feedback whether TDMS can meet my expectations. I read that TDMS will extract subset of data from production system through RFC. Will this process will have any performance impact on production system.

If I want to do a system refresh second time can TDMS perform delta refresh from that point or do I need to set-up the QA system from scratch.

Thanks for your feedback,

Subbu Pithani
