Database Virtualization in the AI age
Learn how leading enterprises are cutting costs by 50% or more, accelerating DevOps, and preparing their data infrastructure for AI by replacing Delphix with Windocks.
Compare Windocks and Delphix
| Feature / Capability | Windocks | Delphix |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Linux & Windows, no proprietary hardware | Proprietary storage appliance |
| Cost | 20-50% of Delphix | $500K+/year |
| Capabilities | Virtualization, containerization, masking, subsetting, synthetic data, Agentic AI for ML | Database virtualization and masking |
| Data Platforms | Oracle, Oracle EBS, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, NoSQL, textual | Adds support for z/OS DB2, and SAP |
| Virtualization | Point in time and near real-time cloning, timeline roll forward/backward | Similar Functionality |
| DevOps Ready | Orchestrates the delivery of databases to Docker containers, fixed instances, and unique Windows SQL Server containers | Mountable volumes for containers, no Windows SQL Server container support |
| AI & Analytics | MCP server ready, synthetic data, masking, subsetting | Database virtualization & masking only |
| Support | 24/7 with live Zoom engineer sessions | 24/7 with electronic support, Zoom for escalations only |
| Suitable for | Large enterprises, SMBs, business units, DBAs, and DevOps engineers | Large enterprises with dedicated system admins |

“We moved off Delphix after seeing how LangGrant Windocks could deploy in days instead of months, without the cost and complexity of proprietary appliances. It gives us broader platform support at half the price, and it’s AI-ready—so our teams ship features faster with compliant data that powers both DevOps and machine learning.”

Both companies provide database virtualization and data masking. Delphix runs on a proprietary storage appliance, while LangGrant Windocks runs on Linux and Windows servers with no lock-in. In addition to database virtualization and masking, LangGrant Windocks adds additional capabilities, including synthetic data, database subsetting, and AI-ready pipelines, making it a more modern choice for enterprises.
Delphix works by virtualizing and masking databases on its appliance-based environment. Windocks achieves the same outcomes on Linux and Windows file systems, and adds the flexibility to orchestrate delivery of virtualized databases to newly created Docker containers or to existing fixed instances. Windocks also avoids the need for dedicated staging servers, as is common with Delphix.
Organizations use Delphix to speed up development and testing by virtualizing production databases. Windocks does the same, and also goes further in supporting delivery of synthetically populated databases and supporting data preparation for analytics and machine learning model testing.
Delphix data virtualization allows teams to create and mask virtualized databases, typically requiring dedicated system administrators. LangGrant Windocks is downloadable software that installs in minutes and is managed by DBAs or DevOps engineers. The result is a lower cost of operation and greater agility with LangGrant Windocks.
LangGrant Windocks is a lightweight, cloud-ready platform that supports Oracle, Oracle EBS, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Mongo, Snowflake, and more. A single LangGrant Windocks server is a good fit for a line of business or small org, and can scale out to serve large enterprises. Delphix is definitely geared toward large enterprises with a large budget.
Enterprises switch to LangGrant Windocks because it deploys in days, costs 50% less, and includes AI-ready capabilities like agentic workflows and synthetic data. Delphix provides traditional masking and virtualization but doesn’t support the same breadth of data or modern DevOps pipelines.
