FULL STORY:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced EMC Enterprise Copy
Data Management (eCDM), new software that enables organizations to
regain control of the spiraling costs of storing and managing
multiple copies of the same data. Despite the exponential reduction
in the per-gigabyte cost of storage, total storage costs can rise
as lightweight, zero-cost snaps drive behaviors that encourage
businesses to create and keep multiple copies of the same data.
Just as the 'cc' function in email can make it too easy to create
data sprawl in the email inbox, unmonitored snaps can cause the
same problem in the data center. IDC estimates that, by 2018,
global businesses will waste $51Bi storing data on the wrong tier
of storage, or storing data they no longer need. eCDM provides
companies with a pan-enterprise solution to streamline their
processes for monitoring, managing and analyzing copy data.
Individual administrators, by necessity, continue to create
copies of data to meet their needs including data protection,
operations, test/dev and analytics. Without governance of this
self-service copy creation, 82% of businesses now have at least 10
copies of any single production instance of data. eCDM specifically
addresses the inefficiencies and related challenges created by this
dynamic, enabling businesses to maximize infrastructure efficiency
to reduce costs.
Discovery and Automation
eCDM helps modernize operations through automated copy data
monitoring and management. With user-defined service plans,
organizations can ensure they are storing the right number of
copies in the right place, and deliver consistent service levels
across the business.
Unlike traditional copy data management products, eCDM is
non-disruptive and provides a holistic view of copy data, while
still empowering self-service copy creation. eCDM extends the
native efficiencies available within EMC arrays, such as
VMAX® All Flash, XtremIO® and Data
Domain® systems, to discover existing copies across
primary and protection storage without introducing new
infrastructure or complexity. This provides a global overview while
still enabling storage and database admins to create and use copies
from their native utilities such as Oracle RMAN and storage
integrated copy data management.
Optimization
EMC Enterprise Copy Data Analytics (eCDA), a new
analytics-as-a-service offering designed to complement eCDM, will
provide insight to proactively optimize infrastructure. EMC eCDA
will enable data-driven decision making, including actionable
recommendations and service plan modifications to further maximize
efficiency.
Availability
Available in Q3, eCDM will initially focus on addressing copy
sprawl in EMC systems, including visibility into VMAX All Flash,
EMC VMAX3™, XtremIO and EMC Data Domain systems.
eCDA will be available in Q32016.
Customer Quote:
James
O'Neil, Chief Technology Officer, First National
Technology Solutions
"At First National Technology Solutions, we're committed to
offering the best data center services possible, so we are always
working to deliver simple tools that allow our customers to take
the complexity out of managing storage through the lifecycle of
their data. With EMC Enterprise Copy Data Management, we can now
provide our customers with more insight into their data, empowering
them to make informed decisions about what they're storing and for
how long. We expect this to help our customers to avoid data sprawl
as well as monitoring protection compliance. Plus, being able
to optimize for the right storage platform helps us to control
costs, so we're able to provide competitive pricing as well as
additional benefits to our customers."
Analyst Quote:
Phil
Goodwin, Research Director, Storage Systems and Software
Practice
"Businesses are facing a massive challenge when it comes to copy
data. The low cost of storage means that many organizations have
taken a relaxed attitude to the number of copies of data stored,
but with data volumes continuing to spiral, the financial advantage
of addressing the issues becomes significant. Furthermore, knowing
that you don't have enough copies on the right storage of critical
data to meet service level objectives is a business-critical issue.
Solutions like eCDM are designed to help businesses start
addressing these challenges now, before they spiral out of
control."
Executive quote:
Beth
Phalen, Senior Vice President of Data Protection and
Availability Solutions, Core Technologies, EMC Corporation
"To modernize business processes, customers need a complete
vision of all the data across the organization – no gaps, no silos,
no misinformation. eCDM links together a complete picture of the
copy data across a business from primary to protection storage,
ensuring customers have the right copies of the right data in the
right place. eCDM is the first product to bridge the gap between
data protection and data management, addressing the pressing
challenge of ensuring the right levels of protection while
also addressing copy data sprawl; helping organizations
dramatically reduce cost while increasing confidence that their
data is protected consistently and completely."
