What IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can do for your business
IBM Spectrum 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 Spectrum Protect, including support for physical tape.

Key features of IBM Spectrum 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
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus provides data resilience for containers running in Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes environments. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus’ native integration with Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift increases developer productivity and provides the ability to protect both persistent volumes and Kubernetes resource metadata to ensure complete recovery. Its support for Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage Ceph RDB and CephFS CSI snapshots, combined with support for IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Spectrum Virtualize CSI snapshots provides both container-ready and container-native storage support. In addition, the integration of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus with IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management (MCM) provides seamless data resilience and application management.
Quick deployment and agentless architecture
IBM Spectrum 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 enables 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, Red Hat Ceph as well as IBM Spectrum 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 Spectrum Protect integration, for additional protection against cyberattacks. In addition, clients may utilize a logical air-gap via a cloud.
Efficient data reuse
Create, track and instantly mount data copies for analytics, development, testing, reporting, and much more.
