Capacity planning focuses on determining the right size of CPU, memory, and resources needed to handle your workloads efficiently. Environment selection, on the other hand, helps you choose the most suitable IBM i setup, including on-premises, cloud, or hybrid, based on workload needs, compliance obligations, and business goals.

Why do I need capacity planning and environment selection for my IBM i environment?
These services ensure your IBM i infrastructure is both right-sized and strategically placed. Capacity planning prevents over-provisioning or underutilization, while environment selection ensures your workloads run in the best-fit ecosystem. Combined, they help control costs, improve efficiency, and support long-term scalability.
How does tools and license rationalization benefit my business?
Rationalization helps eliminate redundant or underutilized tools accumulated over time, consolidate licenses, and align investments with business needs.
What are hybrid IBM i solutions and when should I consider them?
Hybrid solutions combine the stability of on-premises IBM i systems with the scalability of cloud platforms. They are ideal if you want flexibility, stronger disaster recovery options, or the ability to scale workloads without completely moving away from existing infrastructure.
How do POC, POV, and POT services reduce risks?
Proof of Concept (POC), Proof of Value (POV), and Proof of Technology (POT) allow you to test feasibility, validate returns, and identify risks in a controlled environment before full-scale implementation. This helps to identify the value of your envisioned ideas and proceed accordingly.
How does TCO reduction differ from capacity planning?
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) addresses inefficiencies in workflows, system performance, and infrastructure alignment to lower long-term costs while improving productivity.
