Legacy IBM Power support

Keep critical workloads running.
Build a path forward.

Independent expertise for older POWER systems and AIX environments. We assess what can be maintained, where the risks are, and how to transition safely.

Request a legacy assessment

Support built around the actual environment.

AIX health & performance

Review Technology Levels and Service Packs, filesystem capacity, paging, error reports, processor entitlement, memory pressure and storage latency. Identify urgent remediation and longer-term improvements.

VIOS & PowerVM resilience

Review dual-VIOS design, virtual SCSI or NPIV mappings, Shared Ethernet Adapters, path redundancy and LPAR configuration. Document dependencies before changes.

PowerHA & recovery

Review cluster configuration, resource-group behavior, storage and network dependencies, and application start/stop procedures. Agree controlled failover and recovery validation.

Managed operations

Arrange health reviews, monitoring checks, housekeeping, backup verification, change support and operational documentation within a defined agreement.

Emergency troubleshooting

Investigate boot failures, filesystem or volume-group issues, I/O symptoms, workload slowdowns and cluster incidents. Confirm availability and escalation arrangements before support begins.

Migration readiness

Assess hardware, AIX, VIOS, HMC and application compatibility. Evaluate backup/restore or other migration methods; use Live Partition Mobility only where prerequisites and licensing permit.

A practical roadmap

Discover. Stabilize.
Validate. Transition.

  1. Inventory the platform

    Identify models, versions, applications, support entitlements, operational dependencies and recovery objectives.

  2. Prioritize risks

    Assess single points of failure, capacity, backup gaps and compatibility concerns. Agree actions with your team.

  3. Validate recovery

    Define backup checks, recovery tests, application validation and decision points for production changes.

  4. Plan the next platform

    Document target requirements, cutover steps, rollback criteria and operational handover.
