#Catalogic has finally managed to get #IBM on board its in-place #ECX copy data management train.
Big Blue and Little C are saying that the following IBM arrays are supported with ECX:
#Storwize hybrid arraysSAN Volume ControllerFlashSystem V9000SoftLayer – with ECX helping to reduce wasteful and redundant data storage in IBM's public enterprise cloudSpectrum Protect (Flash Copy Manager) for snapshot management
Catalogic says that what's unique is the capability to not just move the data to the SoftLayer cloud, but also to automate the entire process of bringing up live application environments in the cloud in support of functions like DR, Dev and Test or Analytics.
The CAPEX and OPEX savings are claimed to deliver a >300 per cent return on investment for clients. It is expected to accelerate SoftLayer adoption by IBM's enterprise storage customers.
Oddly, and unexpectedly for a storage service that says it reduces storage resource consumption, this development should, Catalogic claims, drive new or expanded storage sales based on the additional use cases it enables.
