IBM Spectrum Protect Plus also provides an ability to integrate the VM and application backups into the business rules of any enterprise. For Senior Application Business Line Owners perspective it offers data lifecycle management with near instantaneous recovery and copy management and global search for fast data access and recovery Specifically designed for virtual machine (VM) environments to support daily administration and deliver robust data protection, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus rapidly deploys without agents and features a simple, role-based user interface (UI) with intuitive global search for fast recovery. "Without availability data is little more than an obligation. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus has been designed for easy setup, easy management and easy recovery that puts the emphasis of data control and management where it needs to be for end users," said Ed Walsh, general manager, IBM Storage and Software Defined Infrastructure. "The result is simplified backup administration through a single platform, which is especially important for VM-focused data backup, archive, and retention."
