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
