IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.3 (Formerly Tivoli Storage Manager)

IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.3 and IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.3 provide breakthrough deduplication, native cloud storage, and a user-centric portal for file restore from VMs.

IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.3 (formerly IBM Tivoli Storage Manager)
adds more scalability, efficiency, and flexibility with the following features:

• Up to ten times improvement in capacity per Spectrum Protect server using built-in software define deduplication technology, enabling a storage pool to protect petabytes of backup data.
• Up to four times improvement in backup throughput using highly efficient in-line server-side deduplication technology.
• New, efficient, server-side, in-line deduplication allows the use of inexpensive backup storage pool disks.
• Deduplicated storage pools that natively leverage on-premises object storage or off-premises cloud-based object storage. Off-premises data is secured with encryption in-flight and at rest, and deduplication enables efficient transfer.
• Extends NetApp snapshot-assisted progressive incremental backup to clustered Data ONTAP environments.
  Easy installation experience with integrated language packs for all supported languages.

IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.3 Operations Cnter adds more visibility,
more control, and more automation with the following features:

• Setting up and monitoring Spectrum Protect replication is simplified through the addition of setup wizards and new monitoring screens.
• New wizards to help configure and manage the new deduplication and object storage pools.
• Ability to define a lifecycle for decommission of client nodes data, which streamlines the process of removing backup data for decommissioned systems.
• Improved ease of use of backup policy configurations with ability to add, activate, and edit backup policy management classes.
• New interfaces to show front-end capacity values to make it easy to verify license compliancy.
• A REST API to help automate and simplify management of the Spectrum Protect environment for cloud and MSPs.

IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments V7.1.3
simplifies the user experience with the following enhancements:

• Intuitive web-based portal for self-service file recovery that enables VM owners, administrators, or help desk personnel the ability to perform file-level restores from VMware image backups in an automated way, reducing the complexity and cost
• Integrates with VMware hosted Exchange Server environments to enable simple item-level mailbox restores from Data Protection for VMware backups

IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot V4.1.3 (formerly IBM Tivoli FlashCopy Manager):

• Improves ease of use and, therefore, reduces administrative expenses by delivering the following functions:
• Dynamic allocation for IBM Spectrum Virtualize FlashCopy target volumes in VMware environments
• Enhanced pre-installation check program in Unix environments
• Reduces business risks and achieves operational efficiencies by delivering the following new functions:
• Individual item recovery from the Exchange Recoverable Items Folder
• Support for cloning of Oracle database running in Real Application Cluster mode on Oracle’s Automatic Storage Management
