Proven IBM AIX to PowerVS cloud migration
How to migrate IBM AIX to IBM Power Virtual Server: lift and shift your workloads to IBM Cloud. We manage the network and staging. You keep your OS and apps identical. Timeline: 2–4 months, fixed scope.
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 → IBM Power Virtual Server after migration
- ✓Senior platform engineers manage your entire AIX to PowerVS migration.
- ✓Fixed-scope project: timeline 2-4 months, 2-3 consultants dedicated.
- ✓Lift and shift AIX workloads—no application rewrite required.
- ✓Keep your on-premise Power iron supported until final cutover.
- ✓24/7 US-based support from day one of your migration.
- ✓40–70% savings on legacy platform support while you plan the move.
Datacenter exit clock is ticking
Your datacenter closure deadline is real. You need a plan that works within months, not years. We deliver a fixed-scope AIX to PowerVS migration—no endless discovery phases.
Hardware refresh demand drains budget
On-premise SAN and storage hardware refresh cycles force CapEx you cannot justify. Move AIX to cloud OpEx now. Your budget stays predictable with our fixed-price project model.
Technical debt blocks your cloud exit
Legacy SAN replication scripts and ultra-low latency dependencies block your cloud move. We handle those blockers during staging. Your AIX apps run on IBM Power Virtual Server with no rewrites.
IBM AIX → IBM Power Virtual Server migration — your questions answered
How exactly do you migrate my IBM AIX to IBM Power Virtual Server?+
We manage network plumbing and staging in the IBM Cloud environment. Your AIX workloads are replicated with identical OS and application layers. On-premise SAN scripts and low-latency dependencies are handled during a staged cutover plan.
What vendor support do I keep during the migration?+
Your existing vendor contract stays active—no forced cutover. If the renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on your legacy Power hardware while you complete the migration. This is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.
Can you migrate without breaking latency-sensitive apps?+
Yes. We handle network bridging between on-premise IBM AIX and IBM PowerVS to maintain sub-millisecond latency with neighboring workloads. Legacy SAN replication scripts are replaced with cloud-native replication during the fixed-scope project.
What if we are on an incompatible legacy AIX version?+
Older AIX versions (5.3 and below) require an OS upgrade before cloud onboarding. Our assessment identifies this early and includes the upgrade in the project scope. We give you a fixed budget—no surprises.
Your AIX to PowerVS Cloud, fully managed
You are not done after cutover. We provide IBM PowerVS managed cloud services: backup management, AIX OS administration, and ongoing third-party support for your legacy environment. Keep your cloud running without adding headcount. Your migration partner stays your operations partner.
