IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Valuable Features
If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system.
When we do backups daily, we usually end up having a lot of storage being stuck with the backups and not being used. This solution optimizes storage and has very good integration features. We were using IBM Power Systems, so IBM Spectrum Protect Plus integrates well with it.

Manager - IT Infrastructure at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot are retention sets. There is a lot of content validation of the data that we use, and that is very helpful. Apart from this data retention technology, Spectrum Protect duplicates things which is useful.
We have an environment that is not only the raw file system, but the databases also. Different Exchange, SQL and all these kind of different applications are integrated with the Spectrum Protect. So it's a free functional kind of environment. Other features like centralization, data retention technologies, and retention sets are the very useful in our environment.
The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus.

We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster.
You can put single items back with a certain driver. It's useful for operators maybe who don't have much of a clue about the back end.

Certainly, the data protection is the most valuable feature for using the product but the secondary functions of replication, backup and recovery, are invaluable in helping to protect the validity of the data.

We conducted a proof-of-concept on the customer side, and they found the product to be user-friendly and extremely useful.
Its quick deployment and backup are essential. It has nice features. It is user-friendly, it does not require a special environment to prepare the server-side, network side, and other components because everything is already included, similar to a bundle system.
It is very simple to create and deploy.
