STORServer Converged Data Protection Appliances Leveraging IBM Spectrum Protect Plus

STORServer, Inc. announces the release of its converged data protection appliances leveraging IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.

Providing a method to simplify data protection, the company’s appliances use Spectrum Protect Plus, designed for easy setup, management and recovery.

Created for VM backups and administrators, Spectrum Protect Plus helps users focus on their most important tasks, such as data availability, control and management, instead of learning how to operate a complicated backup tool. In fact, it can be set up in just minutes and protect data in as little as one hour.

This line of converged data protection appliances from the firm complements the company’s commitment to providing simplified backup to organizations that need to protect data in cloud, virtualized and data center environments.

IBM Corp. highlighted this data protection appliance in its recent blog post.

“Today’s VM environments present several unique data protection and recovery challenges for administrators and their organizations,” said Bill Smoldt, president and CEO, STORServer. “Our new converged data protection appliances bring the simplified user experience of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus into our award-winning appliances to help users save valuable time and resources when managing and protecting the precious data in their VM environments.“

Appliance hardware platforms can be designed
with several different IBM software configurations: 

• Spectrum Protect only;

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus only; Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus running as VMs on the same platform;

•  Spectrum Protect vSnap storage server for large environments requiring >500TB of backup storage.
