IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.6 Replicates Big Data Over Long distance More Quickly

IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.6 can now replicate big data over long distances more quickly using IBM Aspera technology; IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.6 provides automatic allocation for IBM Spectrum Protect Virtualize target volumes IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.6 can now replicate big data over long distances more quickly using IBM Aspera technology; IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.6 provides automatic allocation for IBM Spectrum Protect Virtualize target volumes

IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.6 (formerly IBM Tivoli Storage Manager)
now delivers following capabilities:

• WAN high speed data transfer using IBM Aspera technology
• Converts data to a directory-container storage pool
• Tape library management in the Spectrum Protect Operations Center
• Extends native object storage support to IBM Cleversafe
• Delivers server-side compression for container pools
• Supports VMware Virtual Volumes

IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.6 (formerly IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager)
now delivers following capabilities:

• Snapshot-based data protection for IBM Spectrum Scale environments
• Automatic allocation for IBM Spectrum Virtualize FlashCopy target volumes

Spectrum Protect V7.1.6 includes following features:

• By using high speed data transfer, administrators can replicate data rapidly from one Spectrum Protect server to another faster. This capability is particularly beneficial over long distances and impaired networks, and helps to achieve DR goals for rapid off-site replication of business data.
• Converts existing file and VTL-type deduplicated storage pools to Spectrum Protect directory-container storage pools. This automated conversion function enables organizations to take advantage of the space, management, and database improvements in the new storage pools.
• Administrators can view and respond to daily tape related management tasks from within the Operations Center with a real-time understanding of tape related actions.
• Extends native object storage support for Cleversafe with its reliable and scalable storage platform.
• Administrators can now define Cleversafe as a target for on premises object storage pools in Spectrum Protect server.
• Contains server-side compression that adds more capacity to Spectrum Protect container pools without adding more storage.
• Supports protected VMware VM disk (VMDK) sizes that are increased from 2 terabytes (TB) to 8 TB.
• Supports dynamic Exchange mailbox restore.
• Spectrum Protect Operations Center includes new customizable reporting features.
• Delivers enhanced support for clustered NetApp storage arrays running Data ONTAP.
• Supports IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning in SAP HANA environments on IBM Power systems.

Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.6 improves ease of use and reduces administrative costs
by delivering following features:

• Snapshot-based data protection for Spectrum Scale environments
• Administrators can set up Spectrum Scale snapshots with data offload into a Spectrum Protect server.
• Automatic allocation of IBM Spectrum Virtualize FlashCopy target volumes
• Administrators can define storage pools containing target volumes where the snapshots should reside and at runtime the required target volumes are automatically allocated.
• Integrated capacity reporting of snapshots for licensing purposes
• Instant snapshot restore for non-IBM storage arrays on Windows
• Hardware-based snapshot protection for Oracle 12c single-tenant databases

Planned availability date: June 17, 2016
