What is IBM i cloud hosting?

IBM i cloud hosting allows you to run your workloads in a secure, scalable cloud environment without maintaining physical infrastructure on-premises. This model not only delivers the same reliability and performance as IBM i but also enables cost-efficiency, dynamic scaling, reduced hardware management, and remote accessibility.

What is the difference between public and private cloud hosting?

Public cloud hosting uses shared infrastructure from providers like AWS or Azure, offering flexibility and lower upfront costs. Private cloud hosting provides a dedicated environment customized to your organization’s needs, offering more control and compliance. Both models support IBM i workloads, but the right choice depends on your budget, business goals, and security posture.

How does public/private cloud migration differ from lift-and-shift?

Public or private cloud migration is a strategic process where we assess your IBM i environment, identify interdependencies, and design a tailored roadmap to move workloads into public or private clouds with enhanced security, agility, and cost optimization. On the other hand, lift-and-shift is a faster migration approach that moves workloads with no major changes to application stacks. The former is better for long-term scalability and modernization while the latter is ideal when cost-efficiency and speed are priorities.

How do your Backup and DR Modernization solutions differ from traditional ones?

Traditional backup and DR methods often rely on manual processes, limited recovery speed, and rigid infrastructure. Our backup modernization ensures faster restoration, reliable data protection, and stronger compliance, while our DR modernization accelerates recovery times, minimizes downtime, and reduces disruption risks. Together, they provide a resilient, future-ready safety net for IBM i workloads.
