IBM Storage Protect Plus as a software offering on IBM Cloud
IBM Storage® Protect Plus is available as a software offering in the IBM Cloud® catalog.
You can deploy IBM Storage Protect
Plus in one of the
following configurations:
- All-on-cloud environment
- In this configuration, both the IBM Storage Protect Plus server and the vSnap server are deployed in IBM Cloud on an existing VMware environment. An on-premises IBM Storage Protect Plus server and a VMware or Microsoft™ Hyper-V infrastructure are not required.
- Hybrid environment
- In this configuration, only the vSnap server is deployed in IBM Cloud on an existing VMware environment. The IBM Storage Protect Plus server is installed and maintained on-premises. This option might benefit existing IBM Storage Protect Plus users who want to continue protecting workloads that are running on premises and in the cloud environment. In addition to backup and recovery operations, you can also use a hybrid environment to replicate and reuse data between your on-premises location and IBM Cloud for more data protection. For example, you might want to use data that is protected at your on-premises site on IBM Cloud for DevOps, quality assurance, testing, and disaster recovery purposes.
Deploying IBM Storage Protect Plus on IBM Cloud
The IBM Storage Protect Plus server and vSnap server installation files are provided on separate tiles in the IBM Cloud catalog.
Follow the instructions that are provided on the Create tab of the tile to install each server.
