Abstract

Content


IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot 8.1.12 is composed of multiple components, which support various operating systems, databases, and applications. Due to the large volume of requirements information across the 10 components of this product, the hardware and software requirements for this product are separated into multiple documents to help focusing on only the requirements that apply to your application environment.

This document provides a list of the components included in the IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot product, a description of the environment supported by each component, and a link to the hardware and software requirements for each component.
