Database cloning moved from manual provisioning to instant self-service

Client: Cloud automation provider (California) | Solution: vRO-vRA orchestration automated clone delivery with masking and approvals.

Teams waited hours for database copies

Development and QA teams relied on platform engineers to provision database clones. Each request involved manual scripts, approval coordination, and full storage allocation. Clones for testing took hours to deliver, and production data remained unmasked in non-production environments. 

Solution 

Calsoft built a vRO-vRA orchestration layer with self-service access through a database catalog. Teams could request clones instantly with built-in controls. 

  • Linked clones reduced storage use without full copies 
  • Automated masking embedded into provisioning flow 
  • Approval triggers enforced policy at request time 
  • Cross-platform scripts supported Solaris-to-x86 migration 

The solution standardized clone workflows and reduced manual dependency across environments.
