Streamlined naming for IBM Spectrum Control

IBM Storage is aligning the names of products and product bundles across its portfolio. This renaming effort is solution-focused and can help accelerate your ability to identify the storage products that you need, where and when you need them.

While the name of IBM Spectrum® Control remain the same, many of the products that they monitor are updated. The updated names are shown on the IBM website, in the product-related GUIs and publications, and in the GUI and documentation for IBM Spectrum Control.
