Summary:
IBM® Storage Defender delivers end to end data resilience by combining backup and storage management solutions from across the IBM Storage portfolio with IBM Business Partner capabilities into one comprehensive package, while still providing the flexibility to choose the capabilities that are right for your enterprise. IBM Storage Defender supports both primary and backup data storage with features you’ve come to expect from IBM including immutability, air gap, encryption, isolation and anomaly detection. IBM Storage Defender also helps deliver rapid business recovery as well as full company recovery from infrastructure failures, natural disasters and cyberattacks.
Key Features:
- Streamlines data recovery with granular control - Data managed by IBM Storage Defender is replicated to offsite recovery facilities for safekeeping. Doing this helps deliver fast, flexible restores from primary and remote recovery sites so you can recover individual items, complex systems and entire data centers. IBM Storage Defender delivers near instantaneous recovery of primary workloads from a copy on a production array, can store data in a lower cost storage medium such as tape or your cloud environment, and enables you to conduct forensic analysis on a corrupted environment at a separate isolated location.
- Offers simplified credit based licensing - IBM Storage Defender includes all IBM Storage for Data Resiliency capabilities, including data protection, copy data management and virtualization, consumable through credit-based licensing called resource units (RUs). RUs give you the flexibility to choose only the capabilities you need for your enterprise, helping you minimize costs and optimize resources.
- Functions seamlessly with modern IT environments - IBM Storage Defender offers the capabilities needed in a modern IT environment consisting of virtual machines, databases, applications and file systems in hybrid cloud environments. SLA-based policies automate the entire data protection process, including backup, replication and secure data retention on premises and in the cloud.
- Enhances data resilience with multiple layers of protection and recovery - IBM Storage Defender also provides secure, incorruptible copies of data, with layers of protection, both on array and off array, to help ensure data is recoverable. Additionally, it supports IBM Safeguarded Copy which provides a virtual air gap by automatically creating point-in-time snapshots. For added data resilience, IBM Storage Defender also supports physical air gap data to tape systems such as the IBM Diamondback Tape Library.
