IBM i Disaster Recovery That Actually Works When You Need It
Purpose-built DR solutions and managed hosting for mid-market companies who can’t afford downtime—or the risk of losing critical IBM i expertise.
Your IBM i systems run mission-critical operations. But outdated DR strategies, shrinking internal expertise, and uncertain recovery times create risk you can’t ignore. CloudSAFE provides specialized disaster recovery and managed hosting backed by IBM i experts who understand your environment inside and out.
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.
