Managing sites

A site is an IBM Spectrum 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 Spectrum Protect Plus components are assigned to sites to localize and optimize data paths. An IBM Spectrum Protect Plus deployment always has at least one site per physical location.

By default, the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment has a primary site, a secondary site, and a demo site.
