Installation Overview
Installations of Delphix 5.0 and above include the Delphix Engine and the Delphix Masking Engine. Although both engines may be used on an installation, it is recommended to exclusively use one engine on an installation for optimal performance.
The combination of Delphix Virtualization and Masking enables additional features such as Selective Data Distribution.
An installation requires:
- A Delphix Support Account
- The appropriate installation file for your supported hypervisor (e.g. VMware or AWS EC2) from Delphix Downloads
If you are unsure of which Delphix Masking Engine is right for you, please contact your Professional Services team or Delphix Support.
