IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management is a data management solution that allows data consumers to access copies of data when and where they need them, without creating unnecessary copies or occupying valuable storage space. It provides a centralized catalog of copy data from various sources, including local, hybrid cloud, and off-site cloud infrastructure. By identifying duplicates and comparing copy requests to existing copies, it helps eliminate redundant copies.
One of the key features of IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management is its self-service portal, which enables data consumers to create the copies they require, promoting business agility. The solution automates copy processes and workflows to ensure consistency and reduce complexity, making it easier to manage and orchestrate application-aware snapshots and replication in storage environments.
IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management also offers next-generation protection and recovery capabilities. It enables near-instant data protection and allows for rapid and granular recovery through its snap-and-replicate mode, ensuring that data can be quickly restored when needed.
Furthermore, the solution facilitates automated testing and development by allowing infrastructure to be spun up within minutes, either on a scheduled basis or on-demand. This feature enables efficient and agile development processes.
IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management supports hybrid cloud functionality, enabling organizations to leverage the cost-effective and scalable compute infrastructure of the cloud. It allows for the creation of live application environments in the cloud, facilitating hybrid cloud deployments.
Lastly, the solution supports DevOps practices by utilizing existing storage infrastructure. It enables rapid deployment of infrastructure, which is crucial for meeting the needs of DevOps teams that require agile and efficient development environments.
