Hallo Del, thanks a lot for the Infos about the new IBM Storage Defender. I've two questions regarding these new capabilities. - thanks in advance for the answers. Basically I think, that it is a very good idea to improve resilience for data storage, backup and restore across the storage product suite with the help of the new IBM Storage Defender capabilities. As I understand (pls correct me if I’m wrong): The IBM Storage Protect Software (“former ISP/TSM”) can be used as before – no change, but if a customer would like to use these new data resilience features (SOAR & SIEM security solutions), individual IBM Storage Defender options can only be purchased as so called “Resource Units (RUs)”. And so far the IBM Storage Defender functionalities are only available using a remote SaaS platform Cloud connection. The connection itself is done using initially the “claim_to_ibm.tar” as a “connection initiator” & IBM Storage Defender eagle agent service(s). Question 1: In the foreseeable future: Is there a plan to offer also a Storage Defender software version which can be installed locally on-premises? Question 2: Does there exist a “presentation / youtube video,…” showing the central management console dashboard & the “look & feel” of how to use / licence parts / or all of the new functionalities? Remarks: May be I overlooked something, but I could not find any infos / screen shots regarding IBM Storage Defender management interface/dashboard within the latest official IBM storage protect 8.1.19 manuals and also not within the “IBM Storage Defender Data Management Service” user guide. Thanks again & rgds Mikel --------------------------- Michael Malitz +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
