1. A computerized method for automating a provision of applications from a source to a target by providing a virtual copy of application data, wherein the virtual copy can be adapted to a plurality of different target environments, the computerized method comprising:
maintaining, by a computing device, versions of source application data from an application database at a source production server at times associated with a schedule, wherein a first version of the source application data includes a full copy of the source application data and a subsequent version of the source application data include changes between the subsequent version and a version of the source application data prior to the subsequent version; receiving, by the computing device, data associated with a request from a user to provision the source application data for a target environment at a target server, the request further comprising application specific parameters that define necessary requirements for the target environment; presenting, by the computing device, a virtual copy of the source application data to the target server, the virtual copy comprising a snapshot of at least one version of the source application data; and transmitting, by the computing device, instructions to the target server that define how to restore an operational server database from the virtual copy based on the application specific parameters to meet the requirements of the target environment, thereby automating a provision of applications from a source to a target by providing a virtual copy of application data, wherein the virtual copy can be adapted to a plurality of different target environments. |
