The IBM i Challenge Most IT Directors Are Facing

Purpose-Built IBM i Disaster Recovery & Managed Hosting

CloudSAFE specializes exclusively in IBM i environments for mid-market companies. We provide the expertise, infrastructure, and predictability you need—without the complexity of generic cloud providers.

Untested DR Plans

Your disaster recovery strategy looks good on paper, but when was the last time you ran a full failover test? Most companies discover critical gaps only when it’s too late—and an hour of downtime can cost your business thousands.

Shrinking IBM i Expertise

Your IBM i administrator has decades of knowledge. But what happens when they retire, get sick, or leave? Replacing IBM i expertise is nearly impossible. Younger IT professionals aren’t learning these systems, and the talent pool is disappearing fast.

The Modernization Dilemma

You need to extend your IBM i system lifespan without disrupting operations. But most modernization paths require dramatic changes that create unacceptable risk for mission-critical systems. You’re stuck between status quo and disruption.

Generalists

Predictable Recovery Times

We design purpose-built DR infrastructure specifically for IBM i workloads. Regular testing ensures recovery works as expected. Our clients achieve RTOs under 1 hour—not theoretical numbers, but proven performance when they actually need to fail over.

How Mid-Market Companies Are Solving the IBM i Challenge:

IBM i Disaster Recovery Questions Answered

How is CloudSAFE different from AWS, Azure, or other cloud providers?

Generic cloud providers offer infrastructure but not IBM i expertise. You’re responsible for designing the architecture, testing recovery, and troubleshooting issues. CloudSAFE provides specialized IBM i knowledge wrapped around infrastructure—we design, manage, test, and optimize DR specifically for IBM i workloads.

What happens to my internal IBM i administrator?

Your administrator remains valuable. CloudSAFE becomes an extension of your team, providing backup expertise and reducing single-point-of-failure risk. When your administrator eventually retires or moves on, knowledge transfers to our team through a structured handoff process.

How long does implementation take?

Most implementations complete within 60-90 days, depending on environment complexity. We work around your schedule and operational constraints to ensure zero disruption to production systems.

What compliance frameworks do you support?

We support SOC 2, state insurance department requirements, FSMA food safety regulations, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other industry-specific compliance needs. Our DR testing and documentation help you demonstrate compliance during audits.

Can I use the DR infrastructure for development and testing?

Absolutely. Multi-purpose infrastructure utilization is built into our design. Use the same environment for DR, development, testing, and backup. This approach maximizes ROI and reduces total cost of ownership.

What if I’m planning to modernize away from IBM i eventually?

CloudSAFE helps you extend your IBM i system lifespan while planning modernization without disruption. We provide a stable foundation that buys you time to make strategic decisions on your timeline, not because of operational pressure.
