Subscription offerings

IBM Fusion Data Foundation subscription is based on “core-pairs,” similar to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. The IBM Fusion Data Foundation 2-core subscription is based on the number of logical cores on the CPUs in the system where OpenShift Container Platform runs.

As with OpenShift Container Platform:
  • Fusion Data Foundation subscriptions are stackable to cover larger hosts.
  • Cores can be distributed across as many virtual machines (VMs) as needed. For example, ten 2-core subscriptions will provide 20 cores and in case of IBM Power a 2-core subscription at SMT level of 8 will provide 2 cores or 16 vCPUs that can be used across any number of VMs.
  • Fusion Data Foundation subscriptions are available with Premium or Standard support.
