Introduction:
Ravi Namboori, a Cisco evangelist and an IT entrepreneur,
California discusses as to how Copy Data Management can be
managed better and how to manage data more efficiently i.e
Efficient Data Storage.
This PPT endeavors to explain how copy data management practices
can bring about changes in our workplaces. Creation of more space
to operate in is one of its main benefits. And it discusses on how it is
possible for us to manage our data better. This has been written
keeping the problem of data explosion that is on the verge of
becoming a menace.

Copy Data Management:
 When we talk about data explosion, providing larger storage
space is the solution to manage it.
 It’s being caused by inefficient practice of Copy Data
Management.
 International Data Corporation, a market research firm, states that
copy data comprises over 60% of the entire enterprise disk
capacity globally. It also adds that by the year 2020, expenditure
incurred for copy data storage could reach $50 billion, and this
alone would consume more than 315 million terabytes (TB) of
space!!

Copy Data Management:
 If we look at testing and development workflows, numerous code
applications copies are generated in several locations, where
several teams' access and use it. Each team then snapshots it,
replicates it, and backs it up on disks, tapes, etc. At the time of
this process coming to an end, we end up with couple of extra
copies of the same data.
 Database administrators then usually resort to practices, such as
replicating the original database.
 Following that, the storage infrastructure department protects data
by snapshotting it and replicating it. Then, the restore and backup
departments procure the database data for exporting it into the
media they choose.

Continues…
 Few firms are trying to helps in the exponential growth of copy
data. Simultaneously, they are minimizing the expensive process
of data consumption by platforms, which have been created
expressly to reproduce the data.
 Ex: Actifio and Hitachi Data Corporation
 Copy data management does not mean just reducing data copies,
it also entails doing away with them, if possible forever.

Efficient Data Storage
Have you had any idea as to how much of our primary data is
properly organized?
Only 15 to 20% of the data is structured!!!else is not!!
Occupation of less space, resulting in less time being wasted.
Most of the unstructured data is reportedly old or obsolete data.

7.
Data Explosion Problems
 Data does not suddenly explode instantly. It is accrued over time
& we don't keep track of it!!
 Another problem with data explosion is Data Duplication, which
leads to shrinkage of our storage space. For that need to keep in
check proliferation of data.

Secure Data Management
 The first step should be archiving -YES!!!
We archive data by sourcing, tagging, and adding in new data
sets by placing stubs behind them.
 If a blanket rule is enforced across the board in our environment
that one must start placing a stub behind every file that we have
not seen for over 3-4 months, it would bring about a major
change.
 We would logically transfer the obsolete data to a secure and a
solid platform in order to retain it and for retrieving whenever we
need.

9.
Conclusion
 After all, data management is a very crucial issue that needs to be
addressed on a priority basis.
 One instance of data archiving based on a single criterion would
get rid of data from the data protection path and every workflow.
As our space to work on is increased, it will have a domino effect
on the performance of almost our entire file systems.
 If we start archiving on a permanent basis with the aid of copy
data management, most of our data management challenges can
be overcome.
