Proven IBM AIX to AWS Migration – Fixed Scope, Senior Engineers
Migrating from IBM AIX to Amazon Web Services (AWS EC2 Linux) is a well-understood project. Our senior engineers handle the re-platforming while keeping your legacy AIX supported, so you never pay dual maintenance fees.
The lowest-cost way off IBM AIX: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM AIX → Amazon Web Services (AWS EC2 Linux) after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope projects with senior platform engineers.
- ✓No dual OEM maintenance fees during migration.
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support while planning move.
- ✓24/7 US-based support for post-migration.
- ✓Keep AIX under vendor support until cutover ready.
Cloud-First Mandates
Global corporate cloud-first directives force you to exit on-premises AIX datacenters.
Legacy Application Lock-In
Proprietary compiled C/C++ applications with no x86/Linux alternative block your migration.
Architecture Complexity
Complex AIX kernel IPC structures and deep hardware integrations stall re-platforming efforts.
IBM AIX → Amazon Web Services (AWS EC2 Linux) migration — your questions answered
Will my proprietary third-party apps work on Linux?+
We evaluate your proprietary compiled C/C++ applications. Many can be recompiled for x86/ARM64 Linux. If no alternative exists, we architect a hybrid solution or containerization path.
What about complex AIX kernel IPC structures?+
Our senior engineers have deep experience with AIX IPC (e.g., System V, shared memory, message queues). We rewrite or adapt these to Linux equivalents as part of the re-platforming scope.
What if my vendor support contract lapses during migration?+
Your legacy platform stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues (excluding vendor patches). We help you plan the timeline to avoid gaps.
How do you handle integrations with local physical infrastructure?+
We decouple the AIX application layer from physical hardware integrations. The migration focuses on re-platforming the software stack; physical plant integrations are handled via standard APIs or gateways on AWS.
