Analysts say that for every primary storage copy, there is about 8 secondary copies
Dave Vellante
Primary:Secondary is 1:8 average - the bell curve could shape toward 40 in some cases
Peter Eicher
That's a scary number.
Stuart Miniman
can't flash help reduce this number by giving fast access to a copy rather than having many copies for various uses?

@stu can help w/ speed, but I have to make a copy, put it on flash to use it, that is expensive - lots of data movement, no reuse
Ira Goodman
Just the reality of the "8 secondary copies" make the storage vendors jump for joy!

@Peter_Eicher One of the reasons dedup backups get "good" compression -- we just keep copying and backing up the same data. Make 2 archive copies of your data and stop backing it up.
