In today’s hyper-connected world, the pressure to keep operations running smoothly is relentless. Organizations that depend on enterprise asset management (EAM) systems like IBM Maximo can’t afford downtime, data loss, or complex recovery processes. That’s where IBM Fusion steps in—a robust, AI-ready application data platform purpose-built to protect and power Maximo deployments with speed, simplicity, and resilience.

Why IBM Maximo + IBM Fusion?
Maximo is a leading asset lifecycle management solution that helps organizations streamline operations, predict maintenance needs, and reduce unplanned downtime through the power of AI, IoT, and automation. But for Maximo to truly shine, it needs a modern infrastructure platform that matches its intelligence, flexibility, and security requirements.

Enter IBM Fusion, the application data platform designed for Red Hat OpenShift. Together, Maximo and Fusion form a unified ecosystem built to optimize enterprise operations from the ground up.

Maximo Resilience Starts with Fusion
IBM Fusion’s hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) provides the rock-solid foundation that Maximo needs. Pre-integrated with compute, storage, and networking, Fusion HCI simplifies deployment and operations, giving Maximo users an infrastructure they can trust—without requiring deep IT expertise.

Key Benefits:

• Fast Deployments – Stand up Maximo in days, not months, with ready-to-go templates and blueprints.
• Integrated Management – One-click lifecycle operations reduce manual overhead and complexity.
• Built-in AI Support – Optional GPU compute nodes support advanced AI workloads like Maximo Visual Inspection.
• Efficient Infrastructure Use – Optimize compute and storage resources, reducing total cost of ownership.

Data Protection Built-In
While Maximo includes basic backup capabilities, IBM Fusion Advanced supercharges data resilience with enterprise-grade protection features tailored to the Maximo environment.

Enterprise-Grade Backup & Restore
Fusion delivers automated backup and restore workflows, complete with tested “recipes” that ensure the full Maximo deployment can be recovered quickly and completely—minimizing downtime and human error.

Disaster Recovery (DR) You Can Rely On
With Metro and Regional DR options, Fusion enables low RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective), ensuring your operations stay protected—even across data center or geographic failures.

Co-Engineered Resilience
Fusion’s application protection was developed in close coordination with the Maximo engineering team, ensuring that your asset management workloads benefit from deep integration and intelligent safeguards.

Redundancy Without Compromise
Fusion HCI is architected for high availability, eliminating single points of failure and delivering rock-solid uptime:

• 3-Way Data Replication – Powered by IBM Fusion Data Foundation, data remains safe even if a node fails.
• Multi-Rack Topology – Protects against rack-level hardware failures with zero impact on application performance.
• OpenShift Integration – Leverages Kubernetes-native tools to ensure application-level redundancy and seamless failover.

Result: Maximo remains operational—even in the event of hardware, node, or site failures.

Fusion SDS Essentials: Storage That Understands Maximo
Every Maximo Application Suite license comes with Fusion SDS Essentials, delivering resilient storage for file, block, and object workloads. Seamlessly integrated with OpenShift, this storage layer supports all Maximo data needs while simplifying operations and reducing the learning curve.

Maximize Peace of Mind with Maximo + Fusion
Protecting your Maximo data isn’t just about backups—it’s about enabling uninterrupted operations, accelerating recovery, and empowering your team to focus on what matters: asset optimization and operational excellence.

With IBM Fusion, your Maximo environment gains the infrastructure intelligence and resilience it deserves—backed by a platform co-engineered for performance, protection, and peace of mind.

Get started today and experience how Maximo and Fusion together transform asset management into a smarter, safer, and more streamlined operation.
