IBM Storage Protect Plus

IBM Storage Protect Plus (formerly IBM Spectrum Protect Plus) provides instant data recovery, replication, reuse, and retention for VMs, databases, applications, Microsoft Office 365, and Red Hat OpenShift containers. It is designed to be easy to deploy as a virtual appliance, and the agentless architecture is described by the vendor as easy to maintain. Management simplicity is enabled through SLA-based policies that streamline operations and role-based access control (RBAC) ensures secure, self-service data access to analytics, development, testing, and reporting. Automation is accomplished using REST APIs to integrate with third party tools and solutions. Cost-effective data retention and disaster recovery are achieved via data copy and archival to both on-premises and cloud-based object storage and IBM Storage Protect Plus. IBM Storage Protect Plus support includes data archival on both physical and virtual tape.
