Run your enterprise software your way — for as long as it makes sense.
Independent maintenance, engineering, and operations for IBM Power, AIX, IBM i, and the surrounding enterprise stack. Stay on the platforms that work, retire the ones that don't, and stop paying for upgrades you never asked for.
Four practices. One operating discipline.
We do a small number of things well, for clients who run software that the rest of the market has stopped staffing for. Senior engineers, instrumented runbooks, and a service contract that pays us to make problems rare — not to count tickets.
Independent software maintenance
Keep your existing software running, patched, and supported on a timeline that fits your business — not the vendor's upgrade calendar. Break/fix, security advisories, and regulatory updates included.
IBM Power, AIX & IBM i engineering
Long-tenured platform engineers for the systems that quietly run banking, insurance, healthcare, and manufacturing cores. Firmware lifecycles, PowerVM, PowerHA, capacity planning, audit response.
High availability & disaster recovery
Replication design, switch testing, runbook automation, and standing operational support across active-active and active-passive topologies. We treat DR as something you rehearse, not something you hope works.
Cost & renewal advisory
Renewal modeling, license rationalization, and consolidation studies. We never resell software and never take vendor commission, so the recommendation you get is the one we actually believe.
A four-stage engagement, designed to be reversible.
Assess
A fixed-fee, time-boxed engagement to inventory your estate, grade workload risk, and model renewal trajectories. The written report is yours — whether or not we end up working together.
Onboard
Knowledge transfer with your incumbent, runbook authoring, instrumentation rollout, and a parallel-run period. You sign off on cutover when you are ready, not when we say you are.
Operate
Continuous engineering, a named technical lead per account, and standing service review. Our SLAs are flat — they do not degrade when ticket volumes rise.
Evolve
Quarterly architecture review with your office. We surface consolidation, retirement, and renegotiation opportunities, and we tell you when something we maintain has reached the end of its useful life.
A serious independent home for IBM Power.
POWER9, POWER10, AIX, IBM i, PowerVM, PowerHA SystemMirror — this is where most of our practice has spent its career, and we treat the platform with the respect it deserves. Not as legacy. As the system on which a great deal of the world's regulated work still runs.
- 01 Frame, firmware, and microcode lifecycle on POWER9 and POWER10
- 02 PowerVM virtualization, LPAR design, and capacity-on-demand operations
- 03 PowerHA SystemMirror clustering with cross-site replication
- 04 AIX hardening, performance engineering, and audit response
Plain English from the people who run the systems.
