Services / Managed Services / IBM Power Remote Management
Get the remote talent you need to run and maintain IBM i applications.
It’s no secret that IBM i talent is in short supply. But that doesn’t mean you need to move your applications to the public cloud—remote management can make running and maintaining legacy applications easier than ever.
By eliminating the need for rewriting and refactoring, Lightedge IBM i Remote Management services can help you move forward with digital transformation strategies without disrupting your mission-critical workflows.

What does IBM i remote management entail?
Remote management typically consists of two related activities: Remote monitoring and remote administration. The goal of both is to remove the administrative burden from your internal team, freeing them to focus on strategic modernization processes.
Remote monitoring
With remote monitoring, our IBM Power experts keep watch over your environment 24/7/365 from another location. We are able to assess and react to alerts, detecting problems before they cause significant data loss or failure.
Remote administration
Remote administration can include troubleshooting, vendor management, change management and more. Remote administration acts as an extension of your team to address problems and move forward with resolution.
Automated Backup Solutions
Lightedge IBM i remote administration packages can also include automated backup and disaster recovery services.
CUSTOMER STORY / IBM POWER HYBRID CLOUD
“Lightedge’s hybrid cloud provided us the stability, high availability, and resiliency we needed, immediately.“

Simplify your hybrid cloud journey with Lightedge.
Beyond eliminating the crunch for IBM i talent, Lightedge IBM i remote management lets you maintain an on-prem footprint for critical workloads. For many companies, remote management is an excellent first step to evolve from a wholly on-prem workflow to cloud-based environments.
Implement partial cloud and hybrid cloud environments
All hardware needs to be upgraded eventually. Instead of more capital expenditures, you can purchase cloud storage and compute power to augment or replace what you already have on-premise.
Recover from disasters
Lightedge disaster recovery (DR) provides an extra level of protection, working as a failover site hosted in a remote data center, either in a public or private cloud. Replication can be done through MIMX or the entire system through SAN-to-SAN.
Monitor costs
As you move more resources to the cloud, Lightedge provides robust reporting to give you a clear picture of which workloads, including user-installed software, take the most compute and storage resources. This is often a critical step to a more centralized, monitored IT environment.
Uncompromising compliance
Achieve full compliance with industry standards like HIPAA, HITRUST, and PCI DSS. Lightedge’s compliance experts can help you ensure continuous across your entire hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Assess legacy application readiness
As your cloud journey continues, we will assess the complexity of migrating your legacy applications. Remote management allows us to flag applications or dependencies that may cause migration delays or errors.
