IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is a modern data protection solution that simplifies data backup and recovery for VMs and databases running on both virtual and physical machines. It unlocks the value of your data to facilitate data reuse and accelerate DevOps, analytics, and much more. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is easy to deploy as a virtual appliance and the agentless architecture is easy to maintain.

To facilitate rapid data recovery, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates and maintains a global catalog of protected VMs, files, databases, and applications, enabling administrators to see what is protected, and more importantly, what isn't. When data recovery is required, the catalog and search interface enables administrators to quickly identify what they want to recover, eliminating the need to sort through hundreds of objects and recovery points.

Administrators can use a single data protection policy to govern data backup, replication, and offload operations. For data offload, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus integrates with Amazon S3 to provide low-cost, long-term data retention and disaster recovery for all supported workloads (VMs, databases, and applications).

A centralized dashboard and policy-based templates streamline operations and help ensure compliance with service level agreements (SLAs).

REST APIs are available to automate data protection operations and to integrate third-party tools and solutions, such as Puppet and ServiceNow.
