2. Abstract
Copy Data Management (CDM) is an IT
modernization technology that focuses
on making use of existing data in a
manner that is efficient, automated,
scalable and easy to use, delivering the
data access that is urgently needed to
transform IT.
2(c) IBM Corporation, 2020. IBM Systems Technical University
3. IDC has quantified the Copy Data Problem
45-60% of total
storage is used
for copy data
Copy Data is a
$50 billion
problem
Fewer than 20% of
organizations have
Copy Data solutions
82% of
organizations
have 10+
COPIES of each
database!
Most data for
DevOps or
analytics is
refreshed only
weekly or
monthly(c) IBM Corporation, 2020. IBM Systems Technical University 3
4. “By 2020, 30% of organizations will leverage backup for more than just
operational recovery (e.g., disaster recovery, test/development, DevOps, etc.),
up from less than 10% at the beginning of 2016; By 2018, 70% of business
and application owners will have more self-service control over their data
protection services, up from 30% today; and by 2020, over 40% of
organizations will supplant long-term backup with archiving systems — up from
20% in 2015.”

43. This presentation uses the IBM Plex™ font
IBM Plex™ is our new typeface. It’s global, it’s versatile and it’s
distinctly IBM.
IBM Plex
Sans
The IBM company is freeing itself from the cold, modernist cliché
and replacing Helvetica with a new corporate typeface. Also
replaces Arial, Calibri, Lucida Grande, Trebuchet, etc.
IBM Plex
Mono
A little something for developers. Replaces
Courier New, Letter Gothic, Lucida Console, etc.
IBM Plex
Serif
A hybrid of the third kind (combining the best of Plex, Bodoni,
and Janson into a contemporary serif). Replaces Cambria,
Garamond, Lucida Bright, Times New Roman, etc.
IBM Plex is freely available as TrueType and OpenType at: https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases
and looks consistently good across Windows, Linux and Mac
