Hi Stefan,
From what I have been reading SP Plus will be a software appliance, delivered 
as an OVA file, which can be used as a stand-alone solution, but which also 
should fit into an existing TSM/SP environment. From 
https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/ibm-spectrum-protect-plus: "It can be 
implemented as a stand-alone solution or integrate with your IBM Spectrum 
Protect environment to off-load copies for long term storage and data 
governance with scale and efficiency".
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon

Steve,

I don't think you should look at Spectrum Protect Plus as an improved Spectrum 
Protect.
It's a totally different solution for a, for the most part, different 
environment.
Spectrum Protect is an enterprise class catch-all backup & recovery solution, 
Spectrum Protect Plus looks more to me like an entry-level vSphere/Hyper-V 
point solution.

That doesn't mean it doesn't have its place in the market, it does, but that 
does mean that if you have a Spectrum Protect solution in place it would seem a 
bit silly maybe, but then again, there are very few details released at this 
point.
