For nearly 30 years, FNTS Cloud for IBM Power has empowered organizations running IBM Power Systems — encompassing both AIX and IBM i / AS/400 environments — to modernize, optimize, and operate mission-critical workloads with confidence. We offer managed services, cloud migration, systems optimization, and hybrid cloud integration so that you can focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
Why Modernize AIX & IBM i with FNTS?
Modernizing is more than replacing hardware—it’s about creating an environment that supports business agility, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Lower OPEX & CAPEX: Eliminate costs associated with maintaining aging hardware, performing frequent upgrades, and managing on-premises infrastructure.
Enhanced Resiliency: Benefit from robust backup, patching, threat monitoring, and improved fault-tolerance.
Business Continuity: Maintain availability through redundancy, disaster recovery planning, and proactive systems management.
Tailored Migration: Align transitions to your business goals—whether lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or modernizing applications.
FNTS Services: What We Manage & Optimize
Full System Management
FNTS handles the ongoing operation of your AIX and IBM i environments so that they stay secure, backed up, and performing well:
Proactive patching, OS updates, and firmware management
SAN, network, and storage configuration and tuning
Performance monitoring and capacity planning
Security hardening including patching, access controls, and threat monitoring
Migration & Modernization Support
We assist with the planning and execution of migrations and modernization that preserve your legacy investments while enabling you to adapt to current and future demands:
Assessment of current AIX / IBM i workloads, dependencies, and license status
Choice of migration path: lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or incremental modernization
Ensuring minimal downtime through tested migration plans and validation
High Availability, Business Continuity, & Hybrid Integration
Disaster Recovery: Backup-as-a-service, immutable/air-gapped storage, geographically replicated systems
Hybrid Cloud Strategy: FNTS environments designed to integrate with other cloud infrastructure and services, allowing you to maintain some workloads in-house while scaling others or using cloud resources where needed
The FNTS Advantage
Because the distinction between “just technology” and “strategic partner” matters, here’s why customers choose FNTS:
Deep Expertise in AIX/pSeries and IBM i / AS/400 platforms
Nearly 30 years of delivering IBM Power services
High Customer Retention: Strong service experience and support ratings
Transparent, Flexible Pricing aligned with usage and business goals
While both are delivered under FNTS’ Cloud for IBM Power service umbrella, AIX-as-a-Service generally serves UNIX-based mission-critical applications, whereas IBM i-as-a-Service supports business applications often tied to AS/400 platforms, BRMS backups, and the unique features of IBM i.
Yes. Our data centers and managed services are built to support clients in regulated industries. We employ security hardening, auditing, backup retention, and access controls consistent with HIPAA and similar standards.
Does hybrid cloud integration mean running AIX or IBM i directly on AWS / Azure / Google? Not always. While some workloads and components can be integrated or extended via cloud providers, our primary deliverables are on FNTS-managed Power Systems (on-premises, private cloud) with hybrid connectivity. Any extension into public cloud is done with careful architecture and often for non-legacy components.
