- ✓Native AIX on dedicated Power in Azure
- ✓Lift and shift without app refactoring
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout migration
Corporate Azure cloud mandate
Your organization is pushing everything to Azure — but legacy AIX backends are stuck on-premise. You need a migration path that preserves native AIX while meeting cloud directives.
Latency-sensitive connections to on-premise hardware
Ultra-low latency application links to remaining on-prem hardware can block a full cloud move. Our Azure networking experts design hybrid connections to keep critical dependencies intact.
Old AIX 5.x systems requiring version upgrades
Aging AIX 5.x workloads need migration to supported versions within Skytap. Our team handles OS upgrades alongside the cloud move, eliminating version-induced delays.
IBM AIX → Skytap on Azure migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate IBM AIX to Skytap on Azure?+
We use a lift-and-shift method: your AIX environment moves to dedicated Power Systems hardware running within Skytap on Microsoft Azure. No application refactoring is needed. Our engineers handle networking, data transfer, and cutover in a fixed-scope project.
What happens to my vendor support during the migration?+
As long as your vendor contract is active, your legacy platform stays under vendor support. You migrate on your timeline with no forced cutover. If your renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues (but not vendor patches).
Can you handle AIX 5.x systems that are out of support?+
Yes. We migrate old AIX versions to supported releases within Skytap as part of the migration. Our engineers have deep experience with version upgrades and can integrate them into the cloud move.
What post-migration services do you offer?+
After the move, we provide managed Skytap infrastructure operations, Azure cloud support, and AIX patching. We also offer 24/7 US-based support to keep your environment running.
