  • Maximo Application Suite includes applications, such as Maximo Manage, Maximo Monitor, Maximo Health, Maximo Predict, Maximo Visual Inspection, and Maximo Collaborate.
  • IBM Cloud Pak® for Data can run on your Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster. It offers AI-infused services for business and IT operations, development, data science, and management.
    Note: If you intend to integrate Maximo Manage with other application suites, you must install IBM Cloud Pak for Data. Otherwise, install only the IBM Db2® Warehouse stand-alone operator that can be one of the supported database options for Maximo Manage.
  • MongoDB can exist in a cluster, cloud, or outside a cluster.
    • User, application, and entitlement metadata, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC) registration and user management, is stored in MongoDB. OIDC is an identity layer on the OAuth 2.0 protocol. OpenID Provider (OIDP) is an identity provider that is also used for user authentication.
  • IBM Event Streams is a fully managed Apache Kafka-As-A-Service Platform for Cloud. The Maximo Manage application in the suite can be configured to use Kafka service.
  • Maximo Manage support for all three databases, such as IBM Db2, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Maximo Manage can be configured to use cloud services, such as Cloud Object Storage, block, or file storage.
