IBM Maximo® Applications Suite

IBM Maximo® Applications Suite provides powerful AI-driven asset and analytics solutions for your enterprise needs.

IBM Maximo® Applications Suite is a powerful collection of applications, industry solutions, add-ons, and tools.

When you deploy it from IBM Fusion, it enhances backup, restore, and storage capabilities across IBM Maximo® Applications Suite.

If you plan to use any IBM Maximo® application dependent on Kafka such as IOT and Monitor, do not use the Strimzi open source operator in conjunction with IBM Fusion Backup & Restore. Instead, use the Streams for Apache Kafka by Red Hat® (previously AMQ-Streams). Ensure that you match the version available in the IBM Fusion Backup & Restore namespace with the Streams operator that you are planning to use for IBM Maximo® Applications Suite. For more information about the limitations, see Recipes.

Install

The IBM Maximo® CLI is the preferred way to install IBM Maximo® as it provides an automated deployment for this type of workload. For more information, see Maximo KC and MAS CLI.

Tip: To customize IBM Maximo® Applications Suite instances with extra features that might be unavailable in IBM Maximo® Applications Suite CLI, you can use ansible-devops for advanced configuration. For more information, see Maximo Application Suite Devops Ansible Collection.

For installation sizing calculator guidance, see Sizing guidance.

Limitations

If you plan to use any Maximo application dependent on Kafka such as IOT and Monitor, do not use the Strimzi open source operator in conjunction with IBM Fusion Backup & Restore. Instead, use the streams for Apache Kafka by Red Hat (previously AMQ-Streams). Ensure that you match the version available in the IBM Fusion Backup & Restore namespace with the Streams operator that you are planning to use for IBM Maximo Application Suite. For more information about the limitations, see Maximo limitations.

Backup & Restore is not supported for Maximo IoT, Maximo Monitor, and Maximo Predict, but they can be installed on any cluster that has OpenShift® Virtualization installed.
