Flexible Support Models for Mainframe, IBM Power Systems & HPC.
Rely on FNTS for secure, scalable, and fully managed infrastructure solutions purpose-built for mission-critical, legacy, and compute-intensive workloads.
What’s Included in Each Service Level
Choose the Right Level of Support for Your IBM Z, IBM Power, and HPC Environments
FNTS offers three levels of service for IBM Z (Mainframe), IBM Power Systems (IBM i, AIX, Linux), and High Performance Computing (HPC) environments—giving you the flexibility to align support with your internal capabilities, modernization strategy, performance demands, and risk tolerance.
Infrastructure Only
Core Infrastructure Hosting + Hardware/Software Maintenance
This entry-level tier provides secure, compliant hosting of your IBM environment in FNTS’s enterprise-grade data centers. FNTS manages the physical infrastructure and core platform software, while your internal team retains full operational control.
What’s Included:
- FNTS-owned and maintained hardware & base software
- Power, cooling, and redundant connectivity
- Environmental and physical security controls
- 24/7 infrastructure monitoring and alerting
- Client retains responsibility for OS, apps, middleware, and backups
Best For: Organizations with in-house IBM expertise seeking reliable, cost-effective hosting without full management services.
Partially Managed
Shared Operational Responsibilities with A La Carte Flexibility
This co-managed tier blends FNTS's infrastructure services with selective operational support, based on your team’s needs. It’s ideal for clients looking to fill internal skill gaps without fully outsourcing.
What’s Included:
- Everything in Infrastructure Only
- Optional OS monitoring and alerting
- Available backup, patching, scheduling, or performance tuning
- Custom support plans based on workload and compliance needs
- Shared dashboards and ticketing via ServiceNow
Best For: Teams who want help with specific tasks—such as monitoring or DR—but still want to maintain some control of daily operations.
Fully Managed
Turnkey System Administration and Operations
FNTS delivers comprehensive operational management, including system admin, job scheduling, and performance tuning. This tier is ideal for organizations transitioning away from in-house support or modernizing legacy systems.
What’s Included:
- Everything in Partially Managed
- System administration and patching
- Job control, operations, and scheduling
- CICS, DB2, or AIX/iOS tuning and optimization (based on platform)
- Compliance reporting, backup testing, and incident management
- Role-based access controls and data governance support
Best For: Clients needing full-service support due to retiring IBM skillsets, growing compliance pressure, or a desire to shift focus from infrastructure to innovation.
