MAS and Openshift updates are managed for you.
If you have less than 50 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 massive 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.
Each MAS Environment (Prod, Test, Dev) is a complete independent server cluster. Others combine your environments using shared resources which means you do not have isolated environments.
Each worker server gets 16 vCPU and 64 GB RAM. Others give you undersized worker nodes with half the performance. OpenShift needs more so it can move and duplicate pods (JVMs) across worker nodes to optimize performance and stability.
Our Cluster Plan creates your worker and control plane servers in multiple availability zones for resiliency.
Your VPCs (containing your MAS app servers and database server) can be connected to your company network so that integrations and services targeting local IPs still work.
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.
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.
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).
