Our patented technology and services:

Ø      Provide a repeatable process for creating and/or repopulating replica databases that ensures its referential integrity while protecting the proprietary information contained within the source database. 

Ø      Provide an automated method of creating copies of a database that are referentially-intact subsets (or supersets) of the source database (e.g., creates a test database that is 10% the size of production). 

Ø      Provide a process for managing the workflow associated with database reloads to help reduce the overall time and effort required to complete these typically manual tasks and reduce the risk of overwriting a database currently in use.

Ø      ROI is achieved by
•         Cutting the development cycle by automating time-consuming, complex tasks
•         Reducing the cost of manually creating, reloading and maintaining test databases
•         Reducing the cost of reloading a database among its various users
•         Ability to use cost-effective resources for database reloads (e.g., testers can reload)
•         The ability to create referentially-intact subsets of existing databases leads to:
       o    Smaller test and development databases
       o    More databases within the same amount of storage
       o    Less users per database leading to less conflicts and greater resource efficiency
•         The automated, consistent masking of proprietary information leads to
       o    Reduced potential for paying data-privacy related penalties and legal fees
       o    Ability to work with in-house and outsource development staff faster
       o    Reduced risk of legal action due to propagation of proprietary corporate/customer data
•         Reducing the effort associated with auditing your test and development environments 

The TransReplicator solution consists of several modules that we integrate into your environment.  The modules work together to provide our clients with a complete solution for creating and maintaining (among other things) their RDBMS test and development environments.

Major modules include:

TransReplicator Navigator and Loader
TransReplicator is a replica-database creation process consisting of several application components that provides an automated method of creating/refreshing test databases in standard RDBMS environments. It creates and repopulates the replica database by extracting information from an existing database and implements a patent-pending data transformation process to protect the proprietary information contained within that source database. The result is a replica database that has referential integrity and contains all or a portion of the source database's information. The user can specify the
   > The size of the replica database as a percentage of the source database or in megabytes
   > The distribution of the data relative to that in the source database
   > Optional table level filtering logic
   > Logical foreign key definitions
   > Data transformations
   > and more...

TRFC (TransReplicator Reload Facilitation Coordinator)
TRFC works either independently or with TransReplicator to provide the workflow associated with reloading test databases. Typically a manually-intensive, time consuming process that requires the coordination of developers, DBAs and project managers, TRFC is an externally-based web-based portal that implements the workflow process coordinating the reload with all of these resources. The process supports manual and automated reload processing, with the DBAs performing the manual reloads or TransReplicator running in a batch mode (integrated with the TRFC portal via web services) providing the automated option.
