Corporate mandate to move 100% to Azure
You're directed to migrate off on-premise LSF, but fear disrupting critical simulation workloads.
On-premise hardware lease expiring
Hardware end-of-life forces a move, but you can't risk downtime for manufacturing or meteo jobs.
Complex customizations in LSF
LSF Application Center, bespoke user modules, and AD/GPO integration make the migration feel high-risk.
IBM Spectrum LSF → Azure CycleCloud migration — your questions answered
How do you handle LSF Application Center dependencies during migration?+
We replicate Application Center capabilities within Azure CycleCloud using native job templates and custom scripts, ensuring your users see a familiar interface during the transition.
Can we keep IBM support while planning the LSF to Azure move?+
Yes. Your IBM contract stays active as long as you pay renewal. You migrate on your timeline with no forced cutover. If the contract lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on legacy LSF.
What if our IBM support renewal lapses mid-migration?+
Our independent third-party support handles most operational issues on your legacy LSF clusters while you complete the move. Note: it's not vendor support and does not include IBM patches.
How long does a typical LSF to Azure CycleCloud migration take?+
Projects run 4-8 months with 2-4 senior consultants. Scope is fixed upfront so you know the cost and timeline before starting.
