Data center shutdown forcing your hand?
You need a cloud target fast. We migrate IBM i to PowerVS without re‑coding, so you can vacate the floor on schedule.
Hardware refresh cycle looming?
Replace aging Power8/Power9 or legacy SAN without buying new iron. Move LPARs to IBM Power Virtual Server and skip the capital spend.
Outdated OS versions blocking your path?
V5R4 or V6R1 requires step‑up upgrades. Our specialists stage the OS patches in the new environment, eliminating that on‑prem risk.
IBM i → IBM Power Virtual Server migration — your questions answered
Can we migrate IBM i to PowerVS without rewriting our RPG or COBOL applications?+
Yes. This is a lift‑and‑shift of LPARs to IBM Power Virtual Server. Your code, file structures, and user interfaces remain unchanged.
Our legacy AS/400 is still under vendor support. Do we have to end that before moving?+
No. Your existing vendor contract stays active during the migration. We design the cutover so your physical system remains supported until you choose to transition.
What about third‑party ISV licenses tied to our physical CPU serial numbers?+
We help you re‑host licenses on the PowerVS logical partitions. Most ISVs support this; we handle the paperwork and validation.
We have a highly customized BRMS backup schema. How does that work on PowerVS?+
Our post‑migration managed services include BRMS backup management. We replicate your existing retention policies in the cloud environment.
Fast‑Track Your IBM i to PowerVS Migration
Skip the risk of a big‑bang cutover. Start with a no‑obligation feasibility assessment — we review your LPARs, OS version, BRMS setup, and licensing constraints, then deliver a fixed‑scope proposal. Your legacy system stays supported while you move on your timeline.
