Actifio Primary Use Case

Anil-Sinha - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant at CGI Federal Inc.

We used Actifio for two things. One was for backups, and the other one was to refresh test environments with production data. For example, we have a production environment and around 17 or 18 test environments where the functional team and the development team want to make different changes and test them. 

Previously, it used to take us about 8-10 hours, but with Actifio, the setup allowed us to do it in half an hour. Additionally, it also resulted in significant space savings. Previously, we required around 150 terabytes for 17 environments like that, but now we are able to achieve almost 90% savings.

The other thing was that our database in production was around 8 to 10 terabytes, but one of the other federal agencies they have a data warehouse that is almost 100 to 200 terabytes or even more. They mentioned that without Actifio, they wouldn't be able to do refreshes in terms of time and space.

The primary use case of this solution is for backups and for testing the environment. The backup can be used for your test environment.
