IBM Power Virtual Server
Move Power workloads to IBM Cloud while preserving existing applications where feasible
Lantrasoft delivers end-to-end migration of AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power environments from on-premises data centers to IBM Power Virtual Server — then keeps them running with dedicated Day-2 support, so your team can retire aging Power hardware without retiring the applications that depend on it.
Plan your Power Virtual Server migration
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 — assessing LPARs and dependencies, planning each migration wave, and supporting 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
How a Power Virtual Server migration runs
Discovery and Assessment
Inventory existing LPARs, OS versions, storage, and application dependencies to size the target Power Virtual Server environment.
Migration Planning
Define the wave plan, downtime windows, and migration method — backup/restore, replication, or physical-to-virtual — for each workload.
Data and Workload Migration
Move AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power systems to IBM Power Virtual Server, re-establishing network and storage connectivity.
Cutover and Validation
Coordinated cutover windows with functional testing, performance checks, and documented rollback plans.
Day-2 operations and ongoing support
