Nope. Not a consultant at that time. I was managing the database engineering team for a large corporation.

Though we used CommVault simpana for backups, our whole cloning process for lower environment would have been a lot more simpler with Delphix.

Privileges can be assigned by the Commvault administrator.  Even at a gas station you need a credit card for "self service".  Having a credit card is a privilege and very far from being universal, at that.

I also try not to push the products of my employer through this list.  Refraining from marketing avoids awkward situations like this one. After all, I am a computer geek, not a sales person.
