Modernisation and Tooling

As well as migrating your legacy AIX & IBM i (AS/400) workloads to cloud we can also modernise your environment.

Whether that’s making your High Availability or Disaster Recovery solution fit for purpose to match your business RPO and RTO requirements or implementing scripting and automation using Terraform and Ansible to significantly improve processes.

We have also developed unique tooling, particularly for the Skytap on Azure platform to enhance its operation and management.

We can execute modernisation projects whether in your choosen cloud or your current on premise environment.

Contact us with your modernisation request

  • Fit for purpose HA & DR

    How often do you test your DR (really test) and is it fit for your current purposes? We can implement high availability or disaster recovery solutions to meet your RPO & RTO needs. We will perform regular tests and update your plans accordingly.

  • Reduced Provisioning of Golden Images

    We can automate the provision of non-prod test environments (golden images) for AIX / Oracle environments reducing provisioning time from weeks to hours.

  • Automating DR Switchovers in Cloud

    We can reduce risk of error by automating DR switchovers in cloud environments such as Skytap on Azure.

  • Improved Monitoring

    Our monitoring tooling is specifically designed for AIX & IBM i environments. For Skytap on Azure we have unique tooling that integrates AIX, IBM i, and OracleDB alerts into the Azure Monitor to provide a single view of Azure native and Skytap workloads.

  • Avoid Cloud Provider Lock-in

    We have deployed client solutions with primary in IBM PowerVS and secondary in Skytap on Azure (or vice versa) to mitigate risk or lock in or single provider failure. Our managed services mean you don’t have to worry about managing in 2 platforms. For additional security we can store backups across multiple cloud regions to protect against site or region outages.

MODERNISATION AND TOOLING SOLUTIONS

  • Multi Cloud Deployments

    We can deploy and manage your AIX & IBM i workloads across dual cloud platforms (e.g. Skytap on Azure & IBM PowerVS) or a hybrid cloud to on premise solution to avoid risk of cloud lock-in and platform failure.

  • Improved HA & DR

    We can implement HA for AIX / Oracle (using synchronisation & Data Guard) or IBM i using appropriate tooling and bring your DR to meet business RTO / RPO needs. We will regularly test DR and maintain your DR plan accordingly.

  • Automation

    We can improve DB refreshes, significantly reduce golden image / non-prod deployment & refresh times for AIX & Oracle environments with our Ansible, Terraform and scripting expertise.

  • Azure Monitor

    If you use Azure Monitor for your native Azure estate we can integrate AIX, IBM i, Oracle & older versions of Linux alerts and events into Azure Monitor which does not natively support these systems. Whether your AIX & IBM i are in cloud or on premise our integration tool will enable a single view within Azure Monitor.

  • Azure Site Recovery (ASR) Automation

    We can automate your Azure Site Recovery deployment with our Terraform expertise and integration into Azure DevOps pipelines thereby avoiding potential errors and delays and facilitating a rapid recovery of structures.

  • Enhanced IBM i (AS/400) Monitoring

    Our IBM i monitoring tooling not only integrates into Azure Monitor but monitors wider elements of your IBM i environment including Mimix, BRMS and key application functions. Performance monitoring completes a fuller solution.
