IBM Storage Fusion is a collection of backup and restore recipes, utilities, and scripts for IBM Storage Fusion, a container-native hybrid cloud data platform designed for Kubernetes applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
The repository addresses the need to simplify data protection and management across hybrid cloud environments. IBM Storage Fusion itself solves the challenge of deploying and managing stateful Kubernetes applications by providing unified storage and backup capabilities that eliminate the need to create duplicate data when moving workloads across the enterprise. The approach centers on discovering, securing, protecting, and managing data from edge to core data center to public cloud through a single data copy model.
This repository is most relevant for organizations running Kubernetes workloads on OpenShift who need practical implementation guidance for backup, restore, and data management operations. It suits enterprises managing complex hybrid cloud deployments where data accessibility and resilience across multiple locations are critical. The artifacts here serve as reference implementations and operational tools to support IBM Storage Fusion deployments, including both the standard IBM Storage Fusion offering and the IBM Storage Fusion HCI System variant.
The project maintains documentation and reference materials through blog posts covering topics such as hardware architecture, compute power upgrades, storage integration, disaster recovery configuration, and firmware management. The repository hosts practical recipes and utilities that reflect real-world operational scenarios for the platform.
