Redgate SQL Provision combines SQL Clone and Data Masker for SQL Server to create virtualized database copies with sensitive data masked. It is intended for development, test and continuous integration environments. Teams can automate environment creation and refreshes, or let developers request fresh data themselves. A single interface manages database clones and permissions, while integrated masking is intended to shield sensitive information in non-production environments. Redgate says masking can help protect data subject to GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA and other regulations. The product advertises environment refreshes in seconds and storage savings of up to 99%. It supports Microsoft SQL Server and self-hosted deployment, with web and desktop deployment options. Licensing tiers are based on combined production data volume, with listed capacities from 1TB to 100TB. Customers between tiers must buy the next higher tier, and capacity is reviewed every 12 months after a subscription begins.
