Clone SQL Server databases in seconds and save up to 99% disk space.
SQL Clone provides a virtualization component for SQL Server databases, allowing development and testing teams to create full database copies in seconds that consume only minimal disk space. It enables quick provisioning of isolated, independent clones from a single image, helping teams work with up-to-date production-like data. The product includes centralized management through a web interface and supports automation via PowerShell, streamlining operations and enhancing security with integrated data masking.

Instant database cloning

Create full copies of SQL Server databases and backups in seconds from a single image, drastically reducing the time spent provisioning environments for development, testing, and diagnostics.

Minimal storage usage

Each clone requires roughly 40 MB of disk space regardless of the original database size, reducing storage requirements by up to 99% compared to traditional methods that restore full backups for each copy.

Centralized management dashboard

Use the web app to track, manage, and control the creation and deletion of database images and clones. Monitor disk usage, clone status, creation time, and user activity all in one place.

Access control and delegation

Implement permission management for multiple teams and Active Directory groups, controlling which users can create images and clones on specific SQL Server instances to ensure secure and compliant self-service provisioning.

Automation support

Leverage built-in PowerShell commands and scripts to automate the creation, refresh, and deletion of images and clones, integrating seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and nighttime maintenance windows.

Isolated development environments

Developers and testers obtain individual, independent copies of production-like databases, allowing parallel work, experimentation, and precise testing without impacting other instances.

Data masking integration

Mitigate risks of exposing sensitive data by applying masking operations during image creation using integrated tools, generating realistic yet anonymized data for non-production environments.

Supports large databases

Handles cloning for SQL Server databases up to 64 TB in size, maintaining fast provisioning times and minimal storage overhead regardless of database scale.

Compatibility with cloud and on-premises

Creates clones on on-premises servers or within virtual machines hosted in cloud services such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, enabling flexible deployment architectures.
