Our MAS Hosting Plans

MaxStack has hosted Maximo in the cloud for over 12 years, and we’ve built on that success to offer a smarter way to run Maximo Application Suite (MAS) in the cloud with our IBM MAS cloud hosting plans.

If you’re like most Maximo organizations, you really should have a dedicated Maximo system for your users. But as you’ve likely discovered, you’ll pay a fortune for a dedicated Red Hat Openshift cluster to run your MAS system at other SaaS providers or using the “Install MAS” provisioner scripts that are available at public cloud providers like AWS and Azure.

MaxStack solves this with advanced MAS hosting options that deliver unmatched value. We give you dedicated MAS clusters at a lower price than you’ll pay for shared MAS SaaS hosting elsewhere where you are significantly limited in what you can do with MAS.

MaxStack MAS hosting plans feature:

• Rightsized for your needs and your budget, from a Single Node Openshift (SNO) deployment to a “mini cluster” starting with 2 nodes and scalable to support any number of concurrent users.
• Fast automated deployment – your Maximo system can be online in a few hours.
• No-Cost or Low-Cost MAS Upgrades from Maximo 7.6.
• Dedicated application servers and database server (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2).
• Private Cloud “MAS as a secure LAN Extension” architecture that allows you to confidently move MAS from on-premises to cloud in a true “Lift & Shift”, without having to recreate your integrations.

Compare MaxStack MAS Hosting Plans

1. For the Cluster plans, the control plane is deployed in 3 AZs in one region, and worker nodes are deployed in at least 2 AZs in one region.
2. No cost upgrade of standard 7.6.1.2 or 7.6.1.3 databases. Non-standard configurations, customizations or add-ons may require an upgrade fee.
3. The AWS infrastructure SLA is based on selecting the managed database option when you sign up for your hosting plan. The SLA will be slightly less with the EC2 database option.
