IBM Storage Protect—known to many as TSM—has been the trusted backbone of enterprise backup and recovery environments. Its strength has never been just the technology, but the deep expertise, and partnership of a passionate community of customers, partners and practitioners who rely on it every day.

In this webinar, we reflect on the progress IBM Storage Protect has made so far in 2026, highlighting key enhancements delivered earlier this year that reinforce operational stability, hybrid‑cloud readiness, and cyber‑resilient data protection. More importantly, we share how we are actively refreshing IBM Storage Protect to evolve with modern IT environments—while staying true to the principles that long‑time TSM experts value: reliability, control, and confidence in recovery.

You will see how IBM Storage Protect is opening up to new ways of working through AI‑assisted operations and integrations using a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, demonstrated with a conversational interface to simplify insights, diagnostics, and day‑to‑day administration. We will also showcase continued innovation in Tape, reaffirming its critical role in secure, resilient enterprise data protection strategies.
