What IBM Storage Protect Plus can do for your business
IBM Storage Protect Plus is a modern data resilience solution that provides recovery, replication, retention, and reuse for VMs, databases, applications, file systems, SaaS workloads, and containers in hybrid cloud environments. It is easily deployed as a virtual appliance or as a container application, and the agentless architecture is easy to maintain. It unlocks the value of your data by improving the quality and speed of development, testing, and analytics. Cost-effective data retention, data compliance, and disaster recovery are achieved via data copy to both on-premises, cloud-based object storage and IBM Storage Protect, including support for physical tape.

Key features of IBM Storage Protect Plus
End-to-end policies
Automate backup processes including operational data recovery, data replication and long-term data retention.
Management simplicity
A dashboard, SLA-based policies, and role-based access control (RBAC) streamline operations and enable secure self-service data access.
Broad workload support
Unifies data backup, recovery, replication for VMs, Windows file systems, databases, applications, SaaS workloads and containers.
Storage efficiency
Space-efficient snapshots, compression and deduplication combine to lower storage costs.
Simplified data resilience for containers
Provides data resilience for containers running in Red Hat® OpenShift® and Kubernetes environments. Native integration increases developer productivity and provides the ability to protect both persistent volumes and Kubernetes resource metadata to ensure complete recovery. IBM Storage Protect Plus also supports container-native storage for for IBM Storage Fusion, IBM Storage Fusion HCI, IBM Storage Scale, IBM Scale System, and container ready storage with IBM Storage Virtualize for IBM FlashSystem. In addition, the integration of IBM Storage Protect Plus with IBM Cloud Pak® for Multicloud Management (MCM) provides seamless data resilience and application management.
Quick deployment and agentless architecture
IBM Storage Protect Plus is easily deployed as a virtual appliance or as a container application, and the agentless architecture is easy to maintain.
Rapid data recovery and global search
Incremental forever technology, native file formats, and a searchable global catalog of VMs, databases and files enable rapid data recovery.
Flexible data retention
Data copy to public cloud services like IBM Cloud Object Storage, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure; and to on-premises object storage IBM Cloud Object Storage, IBM Storage Ceph, as well as IBM Storage Protect provides cost-effective, long-term data retention.
Cyber resiliency support
Lock down data on object storage using write-once-read-many (WORM) technology and physical air-gap data on tape via IBM Storage Protect integration, for additional protection against cyberattacks. In addition, clients may utilize a logical air-gap via a cloud.
Efficient data reuse
Available on IBM Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure marketplaces
Experience the simplicity of data resilience and availability with automated deployment of IBM Storage Protect Plus directly from the IBM Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure marketplaces in a bring your own license (BYOL) edition.
A modern solution designed to provide enterprise data protection and data reuse for your applications running in the cloud.
IBM Storage Protect Plus can be fully deployed within the cloud for an "all in the cloud" data protection experience, or in hybrid environments, customers can protect cloud workloads with IBM Storage Protect Plus Server deployed on-premises.
