FAQs

1. How complex is the migration process for IBM Power workloads?

Migration is planned in phases to reduce operational risk. We start with a full environment audit, mapping dependencies between IBM i, Windows, and Linux workloads. Replication is established to the Evolution Power Cloud while your existing systems stay live. When both environments are in sync, a cutover is scheduled during your preferred maintenance window — often overnight or over a weekend. This approach allows most clients to migrate with only a few hours of planned downtime and no data loss.

2. Can the Evolution Power Cloud integrate with systems we run in other environments?

Yes. Many clients operate hybrid architectures, with some workloads in the Evolution Power Cloud and others in public cloud or on-premises. We use secure, low-latency interconnects to link environments, so applications can exchange data without noticeable delay. This ensures you can modernise critical workloads in the Evolution Power Cloud without having to move everything at once.

3. What happens if our workload requirements change after migration?

Capacity can be scaled up or down in small increments — even to as little as 0.05 of a core — without disruption. Storage can be expanded on demand, and performance can be tuned for seasonal or project-based peaks. This flexibility allows you to adjust resources to your actual needs instead of over-provisioning “just in case.”

4. How does the Evolution Power Cloud support compliance and audit readiness?

All environments are operated under ISO 27001-certified controls, with detailed logging and audit trails available at any time. Data sovereignty is guaranteed, with all workloads and backups hosted in Australian Tier III and IV data centres. We also provide documented DR testing, security patching schedules, and configuration change histories so compliance reviews can be completed without reactive effort.

5. What’s the support model after go-live?

The Evolution Power Cloud is a fully managed service. Our IBM Power specialists monitor performance, capacity, and replication status 24/7. You have direct access to senior engineers who know your environment — no first-tier call centres. Support also includes proactive optimisation, so we identify and resolve potential issues before they impact your operations.

6. Do I need current active IBM i software maintenance to migrate to the Evolution Power Cloud?

No, we can easily lift and drop your current environment into our cloud.

If your current operating system level is not a supported version, we can perform a multi step migration to complete the process.
