This sounds amazing. I can't wait to play with it. -
This sounds superb. Exactly the sort of thing I need and also exactly the sort of thing I ought to write a blog post about (since I tend to have a focus on security). In fact it does exactly what I'm always telling people they need to do, so it should be easy to sell.

It seems there could be a little confusion around the masking component of SQL Data Masker. See this FB post: https://www.facebook.com/thomaschantler/posts/10156153758938000
My friend Tim who commented works in data governance and is quite bright. I think he's illustrated an interesting point. It might be worth making (even more) clear the fact that the data is changed so that the database clone doesn't contain any way of getting back to the real data. -
Hey Forgs,
Just wanted to share our most recent SQL Provision demo video with you all.
This shows off the integration between SQL Clone and Data Masker. We also have some blogs and additional content coming on the product page soon!

Feel free to share it among your networks!

On Monday we will be launching SQL Provision, a new combined offering including SQL Clone and Data Masker for SQL Server. This will allow users to create copies of SQL Server databases in seconds using a fraction of disk space and mask any sensitive data to address data privacy and protection concerns.
SQL Provision is positioned to serve as a gateway between production and non-production environments, to ensure the safe distribution of database copies from one central location, without blocking the team’s development and release processes.
This will be a key component in the new Data Privacy and Protection solution as mentioned previously by James Murtagh here.
With the GDPR coming into force in May we are confident SQL Provision will help organization build ‘privacy by design’ into their workflows and ensure data protection is central to the movement of data outside production.
SQL Provision is also core to the Database DevOps workflow. It allows users to have a lightweight, centrally managed, automated and secure way to provide database copies, and the right data, to all parts of the organization that need it. It will:
- Automate the database provisioning process – making it easily auditable
- Manage provisioning from a single central location – giving transparent control over what data goes where and who can access it
- Replace sensitive data with realistic, anonymized, test data – so that the process complies with relevant regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA and SOX
- Create sanitized database copies (clones) in seconds using MB of storage – allowing teams to develop, test and fix code faster
On Monday the new product page for SQL Provision will go live and you will be able to access it at www.red-gate.com/sqlprovision. With this you will see we have made significant changes to the pricing and licensing with an annual subscription, capacity model. We hope this new model will allow smaller companies to take advantage of tooling alongside those mid to large organizations who have typically purchased SQL Clone in the past.The development teams for SQL Clone and Data Masker for SQL Server are working to create an integration between the tools and have a great roadmap for how SQL Provision will evolve going forward. I’m sure the teams will be reaching out for help with research and testing over the coming months so if this is something you’re particularly interested in then please let us know.
Keep an eye out for the blog, press release and social posts once we launch and help us spread the word by sharing and re-tweeting!
If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me an email at karis.brummitt@red-gate.com
Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!
