Copying
A pair state. The state indicates that the source LUN data is
being synchronized to the target LUN.

Data compression
The process of encoding data to reduce its size. Lossy
compression (i.e., compression using a technique in which a
portion of the original information is lost) is acceptable for
some forms of data (e.g., digital images) in some
applications, but for most IT applications, lossless
compression (i.e., compression using a technique that
preserves the entire content of the original data, and from
which the original data can be reconstructed exactly) is
required.
Data flow
A process that involves processing data extracted from the
source system. These processes include: filtering,
integration, calculation, and summary, finding and solving
data inconsistency, and deleting invalid data so that the
processed data meets the requirements of the destination
system for the input data.
Data migration
A movement of data or information between information
systems, formats, or media. Migration is performed for
reasons such as possible decay of storage media, obsolete
hardware or software (including obsolete data formats),
changing performance requirements, the need for cost
efficiencies etc.
Data source
A system, database (database user; database instance), or
file that can make BOs persistent.
Deduplication
The replacement of multiple copies of data
—
at variable
levels of granularity
—
with references to a shared copy in
order to save storage space and/or bandwidth.
Dirty data
Data that is stored temporarily on the cache and has not been
written onto disks.
Disaster recovery
The recovery of data, access to data and associated
processing through a comprehensive process of setting up a
redundant site (equipment and work space) with recovery of
operational data to continue business operations after a loss
of use of all or part of a data center. This involves not only
an essential set of data but also an essential set of all the
hardware and software to continue processing of that data
and business. Any disaster recovery may involve some
amount of down time.
