Your Essential Cloud Migration Guide for IBM i
Discover expert insights and proven strategies to modernize your IBM i systems. From cloud architectures to real-world success stories, this guide equips you to plan your journey with confidence.
IBM i is known for its reliability, but even the most dependable systems face limitations as business demands evolve. Moving your IBM i workloads to the cloud allows you to extend the life and value of your investment. With the cloud, you keep the strengths of IBM i and gain the flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency today’s market requires.
Bridge the Skills Gaps
As RPG and COBOL experts retire, finding talent to manage on-premise hardware is difficult. Cloud migration shifts infrastructure management to our team of experts, relieving the pressure on your internal staff.
Eliminate Costly Hardware Upgrades
Stop investing in depreciating hardware. An IBM cloud migration moves you to an OpEx model, allowing you to pay only for the resources you consume while scaling instantly to meet demand.
Achieve Enterprise-Grade Security
Modern cloud environments offer enterprise-grade security protocols, including SOC, ISO, and GDPR compliance, which are often costly and difficult to maintain in on-premise data centers.
Lay the Foundation for Modernization
The cloud is the foundation for innovation. Once migrated, your IBM i data becomes accessible to modern applications, real-time analytics, and AI-driven insights.
The Fresche Approach to IBM i Cloud Migration Consulting
At Fresche, we recognize that a successful cloud migration is more than a simple “lift and shift.” Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the IBM i platform and a strategic methodology that minimizes risk while maximizing ROI. As a leading IBM icloud migration consulting firm, we ensure your journey to the IBM Cloud or other platforms is successful.
Discovery and Assessment
We begin by auditing your current environment. This includes mapping application dependencies, analyzing database structures, and identifying potential technical debt. We help you determine the right path, whether rehosting (lift and shift) or a hybrid approach, based on your specific business goals.
Strategic Cloud Architecture Design
We design a cloud architecture tailored to your workloads. Whether leveraging IBM PowerVS or a private cloud environment, we ensure the infrastructure is optimized for performance, high availability, and secure connectivity with your non-IBM i systems.
Secure Cloud Migration Execution
Data integrity is paramount. Our team manages the end-to-end migration process using proven tools and methodologies to minimize downtime. We handle the heavy lifting, allowing your internal teams to focus on core business objectives without disruption.
Post-Migration Optimization
The journey does not end at go-live. We provide ongoing management to optimize resource usage and costs. From system tuning to implementing robust disaster recovery (DRaaS) protocols, we ensure your cloud environment operates at peak efficiency.
