One partner for the full Power Virtual Server lifecycle

Many enterprises still run critical AIX and IBM i workloads on aging on-premises Power hardware, facing refresh costs, data center exits, and shrinking in-house Power skills. Lantrasoft helps you evaluate a move to IBM Power Virtual Server. We assess LPARs and dependencies, plan each migration wave, and support the environment day to day after cutover.

  • Plan migration for AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power workloads with workload-specific validation
  • Exit aging on-premises Power hardware and data center contracts
  • Shift from capital expense to predictable, pay-as-you-go operating cost
  • Retain full LPAR-level control over CPU, memory, and storage
  • Get managed Day-2 support so in-house teams aren’t stretched thin
  • Not ready to move? We support on-premises and colocation Power environments too

How a Power Virtual Server migration runs

01

Discovery and Assessment

Inventory LPARs, OS and PTF levels, storage, HA/DR tooling, and application dependencies, and compare the cost of staying on-premises with Power Virtual Server.

02

Migration Planning

Define migration waves, downtime windows, and the method for each workload (backup/restore, replication, or physical-to-virtual), with a documented rollback plan.

03

Data and Workload Migration

Move AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power systems to Power Virtual Server on Power10, re-establishing network, storage, and application integrations.

04

Cutover and Validation

Coordinated cutover with functional and performance testing, then disaster recovery set up with Global Replication Service.

Proven on mission-critical Power workloads

Retail

55%lower cost

16 LPARs to Power Virtual Server, zero downtime

A major retailer needed to modernize Manhattan workloads on POWER9 while keeping integrations with SAP and order management intact. Lantrasoft migrated 16 LPARs to IBM Power Virtual Server on Power10 across two data centers, added disaster recovery, and now runs the environment as a managed service.

Your IBM Power questions, answered

What we cover, how we work with your team, and how pricing works, so you know what to expect before the first call.

Don’t see your question here? Ask a Power specialist
01Do we need to move to the cloud to work with you?

No. We support IBM Power wherever it runs today: on premises, in colocation, or on IBM Power Virtual Server. Moving is entirely your decision, and when you are ready, we migrate in planned phases with a documented rollback plan for each one.

02Will Lantrasoft replace our in-house team?

In most cases, no. We work alongside your administrators, taking on after-hours coverage, routine operations, and specialist tasks, so your team can stay focused on the projects that matter most.

03Where is your team based?

A US-based delivery executive leads your service and is your single point of accountability, supported by engineering teams that provide coverage 24x7.

04How is Day-2 support priced?

Pricing is per LPAR, per month, and depends on the scope of support you need. The free health check gives us the detail to prepare an accurate quote.

05What is included in the free health check?

Over two weeks, we review your OS and PTF currency, security settings, backup and HA/DR readiness, and capacity, and compare the cost of staying on premises with moving to IBM Power Virtual Server. You receive a risk-scored report and a roadmap with three options: stay and manage, go hybrid, or migrate. There is no obligation, and no data leaves your environment.
