IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server and vSnap OVAs can be downloaded from the IBM Cloud catalog tiles. This allows for the manual install and configuration of the Spectrum Protect Plus server and vSnap into the IBM cloud in an all-on-cloud environment or just the download of the vSnap OVA for a hybrid environment. The vSnap OVA download could also be used to install an additional vSnap for an existing IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions SPP server. The normal Spectrum Protect Plus install procedures will be used to install and configure the Spectrum Plus server and vSnap. This allows for the use of the 30-day trial license, and customization on the size and speeds of the IBM Cloud resources used.
