L3C is a UK privately owned Cloud Migration and Services business formed in 2013. We focus on AIX / Oracle as well as IBM i and Linux and have built a concentrated UK/European team of AIX / Oracle and IBM Power expertise.

We support clients globally and work on direct engagements, as a partner to Global System Integrators and provide test/deployment platforms for SW vendors.

We are independent and therefore can advise and implement the best AIX / IBM i / Linux solution for your needs. Whether platforms such as Skytap on Azure, IBM PowerVS or by providing an AIX/IBM i private cloud with connectivity to your AWS & Google Cloud Platform workloads.

  • OUR MISSION

    To provide independent advice and migrate your legacy AIX, IBM i and associated Windows/Linux workloads into the optimum cloud platform for your needs. Whether simply exiting a data centre or looking to include legacy AIX & IBM i into a wider cloud transformation and modernisation initiative.

  • OUR VALUES

    We aim to provide the best independent advice for your needs, always explaining our approach and the best commercial value for the services we deliver. Excellence and responsiveness is at the core of what we do. We do not believe in sales speak, just sound technical advice to achieve your objectives.

  • OUR APPROACH & CULTURE

    Whether you have a single LPAR or a hugely complex multi LPAR environment, our drive for exceptional service delivery remains constant. We avoid those annoying layers of support ensuring you have the “A” team on every project and have the right expertise supporting you in every step.
