Maximo Application Suite Plans
MAS SINGLE
By far the most affordable MAS option anywhere. You get dedicated servers for less than the price of shared servers elsewhere.
This plan utilizes Single Node OpenShift (SNO) to match the simple, cost-effective Maximo architecture that has worked well for many companies for years.
Free 1-Month MAS Manage Trial Available!

(per System, Org or Site) - MAS Versions: 9.x

MAS CLUSTER
Our cost-effective MAS Cluster plan with dedicated worker node servers and management by Red Hat delivers unique benefits:
- Starts as a resilient 2-node “mini cluster” and can scale to unlimited worker nodes to handle unlimited concurrent users.
- Key parts of your OpenShift cluster are created and managed directly by Red Hat.
- Maximum Concurrent Users: Any
- MAS Versions: 9.x
- Time to Provision w/ Manage: 4 hours
7.6 EXTENDED
We’ve hosted Maximo 7.6 customer environments for over 10 years in the AWS Cloud. We still even host Maximo 7.1 environments for some of our clients.

Notes
Openshift version updates are managed for you, as are MAS application updates. MAS is updated either via IBM Continuous Delivery or Long Term Support scheduled updates. (Reference)
For MaxStack Cluster plans, Red Hat creates and manages your MAS Control Plane directly.
If you have less than 70 concurrent users we can provide much greater cost savings than you will find anywhere.
You get dedicated Red Hat servers.
With other MAS SaaS providers, your MAS application is running on shared clusters, unless you pay a premium for a custom deployment and hosting.
All of your servers are secured in VPC private networks. Others hosting providers can't do that when they have you sharing servers with others.
Your VPCs (containing your MAS app servers and database server) can be connected to your company network so no traffic flows over the internet. (Satellite as a Service)
You can allow specific IP addresses or external systems to reach Maximo while blocking all others.
If you've ever supported Maximo, you know that having database update access is sometimes a necessity. This is tightly controlled of course.
Need to install 3rd party add-ons like EzMax or others? That's supported in our standard plans.
Some other SaaS hosting plans limit the number of users you can add, even though your licensed App Points are what control usage.
Contact us for your trial.
We can create a MAS system for you as a cold spare backup.
Our automated provisioner creates both the infrastrucure (servers and databases) for your MAS system and installs the applications (e.g. Manage, Health, and others). We can spin up a new MAS system and VPC for you quickly at any time.
Other MAS SaaS hosting providers have very long RPO, likely due to not having isolated customer systems. MaxStack can recover or even create a new MAS instance quickly. You can even have a cold spare MAS instance.
Higher SLA is an option.
The other leading MAS SaaS options also use AWS. We have been hosting Maximo 7.x in AWS since 2012.
You can bring your own MAS license (from IBM or your 3rd party consultant) or MaxStack can provide.
You have the option to use your preferred qualified Maximo consultant or in-house resource for Maximo configuration and support.
We enourage you to get competitive quotes for this. One of our Maximo clients got a $300K quote. We upgraded them for free the next day.
We encourage you to get hosting quotes from other providers and compare to our prices.
Easily move your MAS database to another SaaS or hosting service if needed (avoid vendor lock-in).
