Your IBM Power system is solid. It has probably run quietly in the background for years, supporting vital applications and keeping things ticking over. But IT challenges are different now.
You need to respond faster, test ideas without delay and plan for the unexpected without pushing up costs. If your current setup feels like it’s getting in the way rather than helping, you are not alone.
IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS) could give you the freedom to move forward.
PowerVS adds cloud flexibility to your existing IBM i environment without needing to replace what already works. It gives you the power to scale when needed, set up new environments quickly and prepare for the future with confidence.
What Might Be Holding You Back — and How PowerVS Helps
“Downtime is not an option. This system runs our business.”
PowerVS supports business-critical workloads and includes built-in options for high availability and disaster recovery. Tools like Mimix and IBM’s Global Replication Service keep you up and running even when something goes wrong.
“Scaling is slow and costly. We are stuck with what we have.”
PowerVS makes it easy to increase or decrease capacity in minutes. No waiting for new hardware. No paying for more than you need.
“It takes too long to test and develop anything new.”
You can spin up development and test environments quickly and assign costs to the right team. That means faster progress and better control.
“Our disaster recovery is expensive and not very reliable.”
PowerVS gives you cost-effective backup and recovery tools like StorSafe VTL. You get secure protection for your systems without the stress or heavy cost.
Build on What You Already Trust
PowerVS is not about starting again. It works alongside your existing IBM i, AIX or Linux workloads and opens up new ways to manage them. You can:
- Modernise at your own pace
- Add capacity only when needed
- Run production and non-production systems side by side
- Connect to modern services like AI through IBM Watson
- Reduce the pressure on your on-premise infrastructure
It is a practical way to move forward using the systems you already rely on. Whether you need to modernise, cut costs or build a more resilient setup, PowerVS gives you the tools to do it.
