The 6 big headlines of the release were:
- Multi Cloud offload with the ability to offload data to IBM Cloud Object Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage WORM, Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure for long-term data retention and disaster recovery
- Support for Microsoft Exchange Server including individual mailbox item-level restore functionality

As a team we embarked on a education mission for business partners across Europe in Q1. A lab environment has been put together along with 18 lab exercises that take approximately 2 days to show the art of the possible with the product and enable partners to become sufficient deploying and administering Spectrum Protect Plus in the field. We are approaching the half way point with 4 classes run in Milan, Kelsterbach, Paris and Prague. The feedback has been awesome with some realisation from attendees that in the 18 months Spectrum Protect Plus has been available it has come on leaps and bounds to now be the defacto product for modernising data protection in Enterprise environments.
We are still to run the training in Copenhagen, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Warwick, Madrid and Moscow and we are looking forward to educating all attendees, in the event you want to attend a future session let me know.
The delivery of real results via Spectrum Protect Plus and references are starting to appear in abundance and my favourite one to date is the quote below from State of Ohio.
“We recently restored a 2.5 TB VM in less than three minutes with Spectrum Protect Plus. Since the user had rapid access to the data they needed promptly, they were able to focus on serving citizens.”
