Copy Data DEFINITIONCollectively all copies of primary data, such as snapshot, mirrors and replication (local or remote)(often used for test/dev, training, analytics, data protection and more)
KEY COPY CHALLENGES
Organizations make up to 20 copies of
data (structured and unstructured) with an
average of 12-15 copies
COPY SPRAWL
Copy data will cost IT organizations $50.63 billion by 2018 (60% of the storage budget)
COST
Copy sprawl can leave data
vulnerable to unauthorized data
access (e.g., HIPAA, PII), where even
inadvertent disclosure can put the organization in
legal jeopardy
RISK
Copies can take many hours to create,
hampering test/dev and other efforts
where frequent copies are needed
