Managing sites

A site is an IBM Storage® Protect Plus policy construct that is used to manage the placement of data in an environment.

A site can be physical, such as a data center, or logical, such as a department or organization. IBM Storage Protect Plus components are assigned to sites to localize and optimize data paths. An IBM Storage Protect Plus deployment always has at least one site per physical location.

By default, the IBM Storage Protect Plus environment has a Primary site and a Secondary site.
