IBM Fusion documentation

Through its integration of a fully containerized version of IBM®'s general parallel file system and backup and restore software, IBM Fusion provides organizations a streamlined way to discover data from across the enterprise. In addition, you can use the software to virtualize and accelerate existing data sets more easily by leveraging the most pertinent storage tier.

With the IBM Fusion solutions, organizations can manage only a single copy of data. No longer are they required to create duplicate data when moving application workloads across the enterprise, easing management functions while streamlining analytics and AI. In addition, data compliance activities (for example, GDPR) can be strengthened by a single copy of data, while security exposure from the presence of multiple copies is reduced.

In addition to its global availability capabilities, IBM Fusion integrates with IBM Cloud® Satellite to help enable businesses to fully manage cloud services at the edge, data center, or in the public cloud with a single management page. IBM Fusion also integrates with Red Hat® Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) for managing multiple Red Hat OpenShift® clusters.
