Data copies

Move and access your data easily and quickly for efficient development cycles and collaboration

• Thin clones allow you to instantly create dev/test environments and refresh databases with near-zero additional capacity or costs
• Writable data caching makes local data copies accessible remotely, so your teams can collaborate wherever they’re located
• Efficient data replication quickly creates full secondary copies of your data to support disaster recovery, backup, and hybrid environment strategies
