Get up and running quickly with Fusion HCI

IBM Fusion HCI provides a bare metal appliance that makes it easy to get up and running quickly with watsonx. The hyper-converged solution provides bare metal worker nodes, GPU nodes, and high speed switches - everything that you need to host your Data and AI platform. The automated installer deploys Red Hat OpenShift, enabling you to get up and running quickly. High performance container native storage is pre-configured for running IBM Cloud Pak for Data, further simplifying the deployment.

With IBM Fusion HCI, you can get a POC of watsonx up and running in less than a week.

IBM Fusion HCI is fully tested with OpenShift, IBM Cloud Pak for Data, and watsonx.

Quick deployment

Get up and running with a production-grade watsonx deployment in your data center in less than a week.

Proven architecture

No need to design, build, test, and maintain a custom architecture for an on-prem deployment of watsonx.

Built for purpose

All of the compute, network, storage, and GPUs needed for running watsonx.

Enterprise-grade resiliency for watsonx

IBM Fusion HCI is built with resiliency in mind. The appliance features a fully redundant networking, and its container native storage protects against node or drive failures using erasure coding. The watsonx configuration is protected using built in backup and recovery capabilities, enabling you to recover your watsonx deployment to another cluster in the event of a disaster.

Highly available

A resilient storage architecture and redundant networking protect against hardware failures.

Orchestrated backup and recovery

Built in orchestration for backing up watsonx and recovering it in another cluster.

Accelerating watsonx.data queries with Fusion

IBM Fusion HCI doesn’t just provide a platform for running watsonx. It’s able to accelerate watsonx.data queries by providing a high speed distributed cache based on IBM’s proven technology used for High Performance Computing. As queries are run, intelligent caching quickly serves meta-data and data, cutting down on the queries going to object storage.
