Product overview

Organizations must quickly adjust to the changing business and outside influences that are causing rapid change, resulting in a need for business agility and faster business insights. Clients need applications and data to adjust and shift in response to dynamic market demands. They also need diverse and simplified tools and data services to build anywhere, at any pace, and for applications and data to scale dynamically, achieve peak performance, and adhere to security requirements.

Companies need a consistent way to deploy applications across on-premises infrastructure and public clouds, and not all of them are deploying containers to create that portability and consistency between cloud and on-premises environments.

IBM Fusion is a container-native hybrid cloud data platform that offers simplified deployment and data management for Kubernetes applications on Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform. IBM Fusion is designed to meet the storage requirements of modern, stateful Kubernetes applications and to make it easy to deploy and manage container-native applications and their data on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

It is an advanced storage and backup solution that is designed to simplify data accessibility and availability across hybrid clouds. Companies can expand data availability across complex hybrid clouds for greater business performance and resilience. With the IBM Fusion solutions, organizations manage only a single copy of data. They need not create duplicate data when moving application workloads across the enterprise, easing management functions when you streamline analytics and AI.

IBM Fusion provides a streamlined way for organizations to discover, secure, protect, and manage data from the edge, to the core data center, to the public cloud.

IBM Fusion is available as two deployments, namely IBM Fusion and IBM Fusion HCI System.
