Delphix secured $75m in its latest funding round this week

Data-as-a-service specialist Delphix announced this week that the company has concluded a $75m funding round that will be used by the company to bolster its cloud and security capabilities.

The funding round, led by Fidelity Management and Research Company, brings the total amount secured by the company to just over $119m since its 2008 founding.

Delphix offers what is increasingly referred to as data-as-a-service, though a more accurate way of describing it does is offer data compression and replication-as-a-service, or the ability to virtualise, secure, optimise and move large databases – whether from an application like an ERP or a data warehouse – from on-premise to the cloud and back again.

It offers broad support for most database technologies including Oracle, Oracle RAC, Oracle Exadata, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, SAP ASE, PostgreSQL, and a range of other SQL and NewSQL technologies.

The company said the additional funding will be used to expand its marketing activities and “aggressively invest” in cloud, analytics and data security technologies in a bid to expand its service capabilities.

“Applications have become a highly contested battleground for businesses across all industries,” said Jedidiah Yueh, Delphix founder and chief executive.

“Data as a Service helps our customers complete application releases and cloud migrations in half the time, by making data fast, light, and unbreakable—a huge competitive advantage,” he said.

Data management provider Delphix has acquired Axis Technology Software, a data masking software specialist, for an undisclosed sum.

Delphix offers software that helps users virtualise and deploy large application databases (i.e. ERP) on private and public cloud infrastructure, while Axis offers data masking and de-identification software, particularly for large financial service firms, healthcare providers and insurers.

Delphix said the move will give it a boost in verticals where Axis is already embedded, and help strengthen its core offering. By adding data masking and de-identification capabilities to its data services suite, the company hopes to improve the appeal of its offerings from a security and privacy perspective.

“We believe that data masking—the ability to scramble private information such as national insurance numbers and credit card information—has become a critical requirement for managing data across development, testing, training and reporting environments,” said Jedidiah Yueh, chief executive of Delphix. “With Axis, Delphix not only accelerates application projects, but also ​increases​ data security for our customers.”

Following the acquisition Michael Logan, founder and chief executive of Axis Technology Software will join Delphix as vice president of data masking, where he will be responsible for driving development and adoption of the feature set Axis brings to Delphix.

“We’ve built a sophisticated platform to secure customer data at Axis, proven at many of the world’s biggest banks and enterprises,” Logan said.

“The integrated power of our platforms will provide our customers the ability to protect their data where and when they need it.”
