data management (iCDM)
Critical business processes require multiple copies of each database’s and application’s data for development, analytics, operations, and data protection. To improve organizational agility and competitiveness, more is better—more copies, more frequently, with more operational self-service across the process cycles.
Today, industry analysts, vendors, and customers alike consider copy data management (CDM) a true challenge …Typically there are 5-12 copies for each production database.. A $44billion challenge, according to IDC. In addition, IDC estimates that up to 60% of an organization’s IT storage hardware and infrastructure budget is consumed by copy data management—and copy data sprawl.[1] As a result, to many IT organizations, CDM represents an immense financial and operational burden.
EMC XtremIO pioneered the concept of integrated Copy Data Management, or iCDM. Simply put, iCDM is the ability to consolidate both primary data and its associated copies on the same scale-out all-flash array, and delivers an effective, scalable and space efficient option for integrated CDM.
EMC XtremIO iCDM is built from the following foundations:
Therefore EMC XtremIO iCDM enables copies that are:
is much more cost-effective than software-based approaches.
