What IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management can do for you
IBM® Spectrum™ Copy Data Management makes copies available to data consumers when and where they need them, without creating unnecessary copies or leaving unused copies on valuable storage. IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management is an ‘in-place’ copy data management software that enables orchestration of application-aware snapshot and replication management for storage environments. It catalogs copy data from across your local and hybrid cloud and off-site cloud infrastructure, identifies duplicates, and compares copy requests to existing copies. Data consumers can use the self-service portal to create the copies they need, enabling business agility. Copy processes and workflows are automated to ensure consistency and reduce complexity. IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management rapidly deploys as an agentless VM for faster time to value.

Key Features of IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management
Modernize data resources
From automating DevOps to integrating data in the cloud, IT innovations for business improvement are constantly emerging. Most of these opportunities remain out of reach unless organizations can modernize their IT resources to support them. Modernization is key to embracing new use cases. It's also fundamental to increasing efficiencies in established processes such as data protection, disaster recovery, reporting and business analytics, application test and development and DevOps.
Reduce infrastructure costs
Reduce infrastructure costs by leveraging one copy across many use cases including DR, analytics, test, development and DevOps.
Leverage existing infrastructure
This solution enables the IT team to make use of existing infrastructure and data in a manner that is efficient, automated, scalable, and easy to use. Supports VMware, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, Caché, and File System aware snapshots on enterprise storage arrays like IBM, NetApp, and Pure Storage.
Automate copy management
Create and use of copy data snapshots, vaults, clones and replicas on existing storage infrastructure with automated tools.
Modernize IT
Provide automation, user self-service and operations based on application programming interfaces (APIs) without adding hardware.
