Operations Center updates

New features are available in IBM Spectrum Protect™ Operations Center Version 8.1.2. By using the updated Operations Center, you can back up data to Microsoft Azure cloud storage and benefit from enhanced security enforcement.

The following enhancements were made to the Operations Center:

You can use the Add Storage Pool wizard to create cloud-container storage pools that use Microsoft Azure, a cloud-based object storage system, to back up data.
The Operations Center now provides enhanced security by enforcing the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 encryption for communication between the Operations Center and the hub server.

For more information about these enhancements, see the Operations Center help.
