Northdoor and Skytap make Power in the cloud a reality
As a platform for mission-critical workloads, IBM Power has an exceptional reputation for reliability, security and performance. But when it comes to flexible options for running in the cloud, Power has historically lagged a long way behind x86. Happily, that’s all changed: the Skytap service from Northdoor lets you migrate existing AIX, IBM i and Linux workloads of practically any size and complexity and run them natively in the cloud.
If you’ve gone down the cloud migration route for x86 but hit a roadblock for Power, Northdoor has the answer with Skytap. Northdoor makes it easy and risk-free to plan and execute the migration of your Power applications to the cloud, alongside our expert support, maintenance and optimisation services. So you can focus on your mission-critical applications, while our IBM-certified technicians keep the platform in perfect order. What’s more, Skytap enables you to manage your entire cloud landscape – both Power and x86 – from a single point of control.
