Data Slicer only take 2-3 hours to install at your shop. The install is done by a DB2 DBA. It is not an SMP/E install, so no system programmer is required during the process. Deploying Data Slicer is also very, very fast. Building a new shared test bed and then altering it with the Data Slicer Power Slicer Utility takes another 2 or 3 hours. Developers can then start performing side by side tests in old test beds and the new shared Data Slicer test bed to confirm testing results are identical. From installation to a proof of concept of Data Slicer is typically a day or two timeframe at the most.
