title: Is there any open source options for Database Virtualization?
body: <p>Is it possible to list out any open-source options for database virtualization.
  Wiki on database vitualization: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_virtualization" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Database Virtualization</a></p>
  
  <p>Some of the proprietary options are as follows:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://www.delphix.com/blog/data-virtualization/what-delphix" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Delphix</a></li>
  <li>VMWare vFabric Data Director</li>
  <li>NetApp FlexClone</li>
  <li>Actifio copy data virtualization</li>
  <li>EMC XtremIO</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>One of the product about which I can say about is Delphix.
  Through Delphix we can create Virtual databases (VDB) by using it's thin client database provisioning and use that VDB to test your code or do other jobs.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for an open-source alternative through which VDBs can be provisioned.</p>
