IDC claims that “development and test databases remain an area of astonishing waste in terms of both storage and staffing costs at many organizations.”
Database copies fulfill requirements across the application development lifecycle, data warehousing and reporting needs. These full copies of production databases often consume far more storage and require resources to complete manual and repetitive tasks than across production environments. A virtual data storage solution will provide a simple and effective way to overcome these obstacles and enable rapid, nimble deployment of multiple development and test databases against production systems with minimal storage use and effort.
