Premier Cloud Hosting for IBM i Systems

IBM i is an operating system that runs on the modern IBM Power systems which has gone through many upgrades, revisions and name changes over the years. IBM originally introduced the AS/400 system in 1988, later renamed as iSeries in 2000. System i became the new name in 2006 and most recently IBM i in 2008.

CloudFirst supports IBM i, AIX and Linux operating systems for IBM Power systems.

With CloudFirst's services, the maintenance and support expenses of in-house systems will be reduced, and you’ll have a predictable, fixed monthly cost. Plus, migrating your IBM i systems to the cloud can save considerably over the long run by shifting from CAPEX to OPEX – eliminating the expensive hardware upgrades, which typically occur every three to five years.
