Data Security, Compliance Drive Urgent Adoption of Delphix DevOps Test Data Management Platform

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delphix, the industry leader in DevOps test data management (TDM), today announced closing fiscal year 2022 with a second consecutive year of accelerated revenue growth and profitability at a scale well over $100M in annual recurring revenue (ARR).

With increasing activity from hostile nation states and ransomware gangs, companies around the world need a solution to automate and secure test data for enterprise applications. As a result, the company also reported 36% faster year-over-year growth of its large, enterprise customer base driven by increasing data risks.

Delphix’s growth comes as companies around the world continue to invest in innovative DevOps solutions to accelerate application delivery, modernize legacy infrastructure, and move applications across the multicloud. Delphix offers the only DevOps TDM platform that automates the delivery of secure, compliant data for test and development, enabling up to 10x faster innovation.

“Enterprise applications all need test data for fast, quality releases,” said Jedidiah Yueh, Delphix Founder and CEO. “But test data has traditionally been slow, complex, and filled with risk. Delphix helps companies like Banco Carrefour, The University of Manchester, and BNP Paribas release applications quickly while improving data security and compliance.”

Banco Carrefour in Brazil utilizes the Delphix DevOps Data Platform to accelerate application releases while ensuring data security and compliance with privacy regulations such as Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Delphix empowers development teams with 320x faster data availability for financial reporting and analytics, enables faster application releases, and helps save 70% on storage.

Delphix delivers an innovative API-first data platform that transforms application delivery with comprehensive data controls. By automating data delivery into test environments, Delphix helps software developers innovate faster while reducing compliance and security risk.

Delphix also helps companies recover faster from ransomware attacks by continuously protecting data and making historical data immutable.

“We selected Delphix, because we like the technology as a tool to move data efficiently from one place to another, to reconstruct, to travel to the past,” said Yves Caseau, Group Chief Digital & Information Officer at Michelin. “If we look at what we’ve done, we used Delphix to move data from our Exadata server legacy to community Linux servers to get more scalability and lower cost.”

“We are also using Delphix as a way to accelerate innovation and set up new test and development environments faster. We can get all the appropriate data very fast with a few pointers and a few clicks and have a virtual transfer of the data as opposed to a physical one,” Caseau added.

Test data management is a critical component of application development but is often slow and manual. The Delphix DevOps Data Platform enables teams to create, manage, and automate hybrid cloud-based data environments to support CI/CD pipelines and train AI/ML algorithms.

“Compliant test data is the lifeblood of DevOps and ensuring continuous access to it is key for enterprises to accelerate application delivery,” said Jim Mercer, Research Director of DevOps and DevSecOps at IDC. “With digital transformation becoming increasingly essential for enterprises to compete across today’s marketplaces, we continue to see the need for modern TDM solutions across multiple industries.”

Delphix Growth Highlights

• Accelerated growth and profitability over the last two years at a scale greater than $100M of annual recurring revenues.
• Expanded large enterprise customer base:
  • Increased the number of new enterprise customers won year-over-year by 36%.
  • Broadened global customer base with large brands such as Banco Carrefour, Choice Hotels, Michelin, and Molina Healthcare.
• Appointed new additions to the global leadership team, including:
  • Robert Stevenson, VP of Japan Operations, to expand Delphix in APAC.
  • Josh Harbert, Chief Marketing Officer, who brings decades of experience to scale Delphix’s global marketing programs and amplify product and brand awareness.
  • Pritesh Parekh, Chief Trust & Security Officer, VP of Engineering, who adds proven DevOps and security expertise.
  • Steve Barrett, Senior Vice President of International Operations, who leads revenue operations for both EMEA and APJ.
  • Tammi Warfield, Chief Customer Officer, a former Microsoft executive who drives customer success by helping customers realize business value.

Delphix also introduced multiple innovations across the company’s product offerings in last fiscal year, including:

• Continuous Vault, a ransomware-specific capability that boosts the Delphix platform’s data isolation capabilities and strengthens data protection for enterprises.
• Data Compliance Capabilities for Salesforce Customers, which helps Salesforce customers protect data privacy and security, while unlocking the value in Salesforce data across clouds and on premises data centers.
• Data Control Tower, which provides a single point of control for API-driven test data automation across development pipelines at scale.
• Masking Algorithms for Continuous Compliance, which deliver new, industry-leading algorithms for masking sensitive data along with an SDK enabling the development and automation of custom algorithms.
• SAP-certified integration with SAP NetWeaver® and SAP S/4HANA®, which allows businesses to use Delphix to mask and automatically deliver efficient, virtualized SAP data via APIs.

Segundo filme da Proxima Media a ser listado na bolsa de valores (ESX.io), permitindo que os fãs comprem o filme
Desde o lançamento do ‘Sexto Sentido’ o público não fica tão chocado

LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Home School, a primeira de uma franquia de oito filmes de thrillers sobrenaturais estrelados por Charli D’Amelio, duas vezes ganhadora do Kids Choice Award, será produzido pelo candidato EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar e Tony) Ryan Kavanaugh, dirigido por F. Javier Gutierrez.

Kavanaugh lançou mais de 200 longas-metragens e 40 programas de TV em todo o mundo, e este será o segundo filme a ser listado na bolsa de valores de entretenimento, esx.io.

O visionário premiado diretor de filmes de terror F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall, Rings) entrou a bordo para dirigir. Home School  marca a estreia do filme de ação ao vivo de D’Amelio, a primeiro TikTokker a acumular 100 milhões de seguidores na plataforma. A produção está programada para começar em julho de 2022.

Charli alcançou a fama global no TikTok depois de postar vídeos de dança em 2019. Desde que explodiu no aplicativo, Charli transformou seu sucesso em outros empreendimentos. Ela apareceu em um anúncio da Sabra Hummus no Super Bowl de 2020 e dançou em um videoclipe de Jennifer Lopez. Em setembro do ano passado, a Hulu lançou a série documental The D’Amelio Show, estrelada por Charli e sua família, que já foi escolhida para uma segunda temporada. Charli co-criou sua própria linha de roupas Social Tourist e trabalhou com grandes marcas de moda, incluindo Louis Vuitton e Prada. Charli também foi a estrela mais jovem a aparecer na lista NEXT da Time Magazine.

No Home School, Charli interpretará “Mira”, uma garota de 17 anos que se muda para da sua cidade para morar com a tia depois que a mãe faleceu. Depois de chegar ao que parece ser a cidade perfeita, Mira logo descobre que a morte da sua mãe e o futuro estão entrelaçados sobrenaturalmente.

“Assim que li Home School, vi que era para mim. Eu me conectei com a personagem Mira, a história, o roteiro e a equipe. Eu sabia que para fazer um filme, ele precisava ser divertido, ousado e novo”, disse Charli. “Embora o papel seja desafiador e me forçar a aprender a agir e me transformar na Mira, vai ser divertido de fazer e divertido de assistir. Eu também queria ter certeza de ter uma grande equipe.”

“Quando Ryan e eu nos conhecemos durante a criação do remake do The Crow com Luke Evans, soubemos desde o início que queríamos ter uma parceria criativa. Estou muito feliz com o fato de o Home School ser o nosso primeiro projeto oficial juntos”, explicou o diretor F. Javier Gutiérrez. “Com um forte visual e um forte elemento psicológico, acho que o Home School tem o potencial de ser um clássico moderno. Mal posso esperar para trabalhar ao lado de Charli e da equipe da Proxima Media.”

Gutiérrez, nomeado duas vezes para o prêmio de melhor Filme Fantástico Europeu, alcançou a fama com seu filme de terror, Rings, a terceira edição da franquia The Ring, que estreou como número 2 na bilheteria dos EUA e foi elogiado por Koji Suzuki, autor dos romances The Ring. Seu curta Brasil, foi muito elogiado e recebeu e inúmeros prêmios, incluindo o Universal Studios Film Master Award de Melhor Diretor Europeu. Após sua estreia na América do Norte no AFI Fest, o filme chamou a atenção da indústria dos EUA, chegando ao número 3 na Hollywood International Watchlist. Nesse mesmo ano, Antes do Outono recebeu uma oferta para um remake do falecido cineasta lendário Wes Craven. No início da sua carreira, Gutiérrez se estabeleceu como cineasta de terror quando seu primeiro curta-metragem, Brasil, que ele dirigiu, escreveu e produziu em 2002, também ganhou o Sitges Film Festival, um dos principais festivais internacionais do mundo, especializado em fantasia e terror.

“Estamos desenvolvendo este projeto há alguns anos para trazer algo novo e emocionante para a tela”, diz Ryan Kavanaugh. “A combinação de Javier na direção e Charli como estrela torna o projeto um pacote perfeito. Será o ‘Sexto Sentido’ juntamente com ‘Corra’”, disse Kavanaugh.

Home School foi escrito por Casey Giltner, um roteirista de Minneapolis cujo roteiro No primeiro dia de Natal foi destaque da BloodList 2021 e selecionado pela Village Roadshow e Brillstein Entertainment Partners. O vice-presidente sênior de produção da Proxima Media, Daniel Herther, que conduziu o desenvolvimento do Home School, também será produtor. O parceiro de Kavanaugh Bobby Sarnevesht, e Marc, Heidi e Dixie D’Amelio serão produtores executivos.

Charli D’Amelio é representada por Steve Cohen da UTA e Kevin Yorn da Morris, Yorn, Barnes, Levine, Krintzman, Rubenstein, Kohner, Endlich & Gellman. A Proxima Media e Kavanaugh são representados por Neil Sacker da Sacker Entertainment Law. F. Javier Gutiérrez é representado por Michael Sheresky da UTA e Nick Shumaker da Anonymous Content.

Le deuxième film Proxima intègrera la bourse du divertissement (ESX.io), permettant aux fans d’acheter des parts du film
Le public n’aura pas été aussi choqué depuis le dénouement du film « Sixième sens »

LOS ANGELES, 28 avr. 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Home School, la première franchise de huit thrillers fantastiques trépidants mettant en vedette la double lauréate du prix Kids Choice Award, Charli d’Amelio, sera produite par Ryan Kavanaugh, nommé aux Emmy, aux Grammy, aux Oscars et aux Tony Awards, et réalisée par F.

M. Kavanaugh a présenté plus de 200 films et 40 émissions de télévision à des publics du monde entier, et ce sera le deuxième film à figurer sur la bourse du diverstissement, esx.io.

Le tournage devrait débuter en juillet 2022.

Charli a atteint la gloire mondiale sur TikTok après avoir publié des vidéos de danse en 2019. Depuis qu’elle a explosé sur l’application, elle s’est aventurée dans d’autres domaines avec succès. Elle est apparue dans une publicité diffusée pendant le Super Bowl en 2020 pour Sabra Hummus et a dansé dans un clip vidéo de Jennifer Lopez.

Dans Home School, Charli jouera le rôle de « Mira », une adolescente de 17 ans qui s’installe dans une nouvelle ville chez sa tante suite au décès de sa mère. Peu après son arrivée dans ce qui semble être une ville bien trop parfaite, Mira découvre que la mort de sa mère et son propre avenir sont étroitement liés.

« Dès que j’ai lu le script de Home School, j’ai su que le rôle était pour moi. Je me sens liée au personnage de Mira, à l’histoire, au scénario et à l’équipe. Je savais que si je devais faire un film, cela devait être quelque chose d’amusant, d’éphémère et de divertissant », a déclaré Charli. « Même si interpréter ce rôle sera certainement difficile et me poussera à apprendre à jouer et à incarner Mira, il s’agit d’une aventure qui a pour but d’être amusante à jouer et amusante à regarder. Je voulais également m’assurer d’être entourée d’une excellente équipe. »

« Lorsque Ryan et moi-même nous sommes rencontrés sur le plateau du remake de The Crow avec Luke Evans, nous avons tout de suite su que nous voulions développer un partenariat créatif. Je suis ravi que Home School marque notre premier projet officiel ensemble », a expliqué le réalisateur F. Javier Gutiérrez. « Avec ses visuels attrayants et son élément psychologique fort, je pense qu’Home School a le potentiel de devenir un classique moderne. Je suis impatient de travailler aux côtés de Charli et de l’équipe de Proxima. »

Gutiérrez, deux fois nommé pour le prix du Meilleur film fantastique européen, a accédé à la gloire dans le cinéma avec son film d’horreur Le Cercle : Rings, le troisième volet de la franchise Ring, qui est arrivé à la 2e place au box office des États-Unis et a été salué par Koji Suzuki, auteur des romans The Ring. Son court-métrage Brasil a remporté les plus grands honneurs et de nombreux prix, y compris le prix Universal Studios Film Master Award de Meilleur réalisateur européen. Après la première nord-américaine à l’AFI Fest, le film a attiré l’attention de l’industrie américaine, se classant n° 3 sur la liste Hollywood International Watchlist.

« Nous développons ce projet depuis plusieurs années pour apporter quelque chose de nouveau et passionnant à l’écran », a déclaré Ryan Kavanaugh. « Avoir Javier comme réalisateur et Charli comme actrice est le combo parfait. Nous voulons créer un mix entre “Sixième sens” et “Get Out” », a déclaré M. Kavanaugh.

Global Fishing Watch commends the Republic of Marshall Islands’ leadership toward fisheries transparency

KOROR, THE REPUBLIC OF PALAU, April 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KOROR, THE REPUBLIC OF PALAU – The Republic of the Marshall Islands has committed to sharing its vessel monitoring data on Global Fishing Watch’s public map, bolstering ocean governance and promoting compliance throughout some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. This momentous decision was announced on April 14, 2022 at the seventh Our Oceans Conference by the Honorable John M. Silk, Minister of Natural Resources and Commerce for the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The declaration marks the first Pacific island nation to make its fishing activity visible to the world.

The partnership agreement was signed between the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority (MIMRA) and Global Fishing Watch, symbolizing the two organizations’ dedication to advancing transparency of fishing activities in the Pacific Islands region, home to the world’s most productive tuna fisheries.

All vessels flying the Marshall Islands’ flag and foreign vessels fishing in its fishery waters will appear on Global Fishing Watch’s map through the integration of the government’s vessel monitoring system (VMS) data. These vessels primarily target tropical tuna species of the Western and Central Pacific ocean, which hold environmental, economic and cultural significance across the region’s island nations—around half of the world’s tuna catch comes from these waters.

“There is real value in open data when it comes to monitoring the ocean,” said Glen Joseph, Director of the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority. “By making its fishing activity visible on the Global Fishing Watch map, the Republic of the Marshall Islands is helping demonstrate compliance. We hope the data-led insights complement already existing monitoring, control and surveillance tools to validate what is being reported by flag States and strengthen the way fisheries are managed.”

“Global Fishing Watch is honored to be partnering with the Marshall Islands to build greater transparency of fishing activity in the Pacific,” said Tony Long, chief executive officer of Global Fishing Watch. “This progressive decision will help facilitate accountability and good behavior in the region and support a more sustainable future by strengthening fisheries monitoring.”

“Our partnership with Global Fishing Watch is an important element of our regional commitment to combat IUU fishing,” said the Honorable John Silk, Minister for Natural Resources and Commerce, Republic of the Marshall Islands. “In 2018, Marshall Islands’ President Hilda Heine set out a bold vision of an IUU-free Pacific by 2023. Other Micronesian presidents signed onto that challenge the following year. To achieve this ambitious goal, we must harness innovative technologies to protect our marine resources and the livelihoods of Pacific people.”

Global Fishing Watch uses publicly broadcast automatic identification system data to track close to 70,000 commercial fishing vessels operating globally. Adding VMS data, which is required by many governments, provides an even clearer view of global fishing activity. The data can assist fishers abiding by the rules through faster, more efficient port entry and provide opportunities to implement regulatory and market incentives to reward them.

A country of coral islands and atolls spread out over 750,000 square miles (1.94 million square kilometers) of ocean between Hawaii and the Philippines, the Marshall Islands relies heavily on revenue from the tuna industry–well over one-third of the government’s domestic revenue comes from the tuna sector.

As a member of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) and one of eight Parties to the Nauru Agreement, this independent small island developing State recognizes the importance of collaboration to secure sustainable fisheries. Enhanced monitoring and regional solidarity across FFA’s 17 Members has led to a decrease in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing throughout the Pacific, according to a recent quantification study which, in part, used Global Fishing Watch data to examine vessel activity throughout the region’s waters.

MIMRA’s fisheries MCS systems are state-of-the-art, and are backed by the resources of the FFA’s Regional Fisheries Surveillance Centre. Their monitoring systems build on an innovative management approach used by the Parties to the Nauru Agreement that caps regional fishing activity to support conservation and economic goals. With Global Fishing Watch now available to support and complement existing efforts, the Marshall Islands is taking the next step toward embracing fisheries transparency.

“Transparency can help vessel operators publicly demonstrate compliance and show their commitment to implementing relevant conservation measures,” added Tony Long. “We believe the Marshall Islands’ pioneering leadership will encourage other Pacific nations, as well as industry stakeholders, to embrace transparency in support of enhanced ocean governance.”

The Marshall Islands joins a growing group of countries that are already publicly sharing their VMS data through Global Fishing Watch, including Belize, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Peru. Transparency of its fishing activity demonstrates the Marshall Islands’ steadfast commitment towards compliance and will help amplify management and coordination efforts undertaken by the FFA. Global Fishing Watch’s international program to advance ocean governance through greater transparency is made possible with the generous support of Bloomberg Philanthropies.

###

Global Fishing Watch is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency of human activity at sea. By creating and publicly sharing map visualizations, data and analysis tools, we aim to enable scientific research and transform the way our ocean is managed. We believe human activity at sea should be public knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean for the common good of all.
