Core Capabilities

Six Pillars of CT-Clone Excellence

CT-Clone combines snapshot technology, virtualization, and automation to deliver enterprise-grade database cloning with minimal storage overhead.

Snapshot-Based Cloning in Minutes

Provision secure, space-efficient test environments in minutes using snapshot-based clones that eliminate time-consuming full data copies.

Incremental & Compressed Gold Copies

Data is stored in incremental forever, compressed gold copy format. Reduce storage footprint by up to 80% with thin provisioned clones.

Full Oracle App & DB Cloning

Create complete environments including Oracle binaries and application stacks (APPL_TOPs) for faster readiness and comprehensive testing.

Cloud-Ready Deployment

Available as VM image, AMI for AWS, or OCI marketplace image. Deploy on-premises or in the cloud—up and running in less than 1 hour.

Post-Clone Automation

Automated post-clone tasks including password resets, profile setup, workflow configurations, and custom script execution out of the box.

Self-Service Cloning

Empower dev/test teams to provision clones independently and securely without DBA intervention, accelerating development cycles.

Storage Efficiency

Lower Costs, Increase Storage Efficiency

Clonetab's database virtualization helps quickly and securely provision test data while reducing overall storage footprint dramatically.

Up to 80% Storage Reduction

Eliminate redundant data copies and store only incremental changes, reducing storage costs significantly.

Compressed Gold Copy

Single compressed master copy serves as the source for all clones, minimizing storage requirements.

Incremental Forever

Only changes are stored, not full copies, ensuring efficient long-term storage management.

Virtualized, Thin Clones in Minutes

✓ Massive space savings with Oracle EBS technology stack virtualization
✓ Multiple EBS instances from a single compressed gold copy
✓ Instant provisioning with negligible storage usage

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

What is database cloning and why is it important for large database companies?

Database cloning is the process of creating an exact copy of a production database for testing, development, or backup purposes. It helps DBAs accelerate projects while keeping production secure, enabling parallel development, testing, and training without risking production data.

How does Clonetab CT-Clone reduce cloning time?

Clonetab leverages virtualization and storage-efficient snapshot technology to create clones in just minutes rather than hours or days. By using thin provisioning and incremental copies, CT-Clone eliminates time-consuming full data copies and provides instant access to database environments.

Can Clonetab CT-Clone handle large databases (10TB+)?

Yes, Clonetab CT-Clone is built for enterprise-grade Oracle EBS and ERP databases, scaling seamlessly for 10TB+ workloads. The platform is designed to handle the most demanding enterprise environments with consistent performance and reliability.

Does database cloning consume extra storage?

No. Traditional cloning consumes massive storage by creating full copies. With Clonetab's virtualization, storage usage is reduced by up to 80%. Thin provisioned clones start with negligible storage and only grow as data changes, while the compressed gold copy serves all clones efficiently.

What is the difference between database cloning and database backup?

A database backup is a copy for recovery purposes in case of failure, while cloning creates a fully functional database duplicate that can be actively used for testing, development, patching, training, analytics, or any other purpose requiring a working database environment.

How secure are the cloned databases?

Cloned databases maintain the same security controls as the source. Additionally, they can be integrated with Clonetab's CT-ADS (Data Scrambling) solution to ensure sensitive information is masked before use in non-production environments, meeting compliance requirements for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.
