Still Running Legacy IBM iSeries? Baby Blue Can Support You
14 May 2025 - 2 Minute Read
Many organisations still rely on older IBM i and OS/400 systems, Power7, Power6, Power5, even Power4, because their core applications simply can’t move.
But here’s the challenge:
❌ IBM doesn’t always support older Power Systems
❌ OEM patches + updates are long retired
❌ Cyber and operational risk increases every year
❌ Third-party costs creep up over time
Yet these systems remain mission-critical.

We provide a blended support model that protects your full IBM i estate:
✔ IBM OEM maintenance for Power8 / Power9 / Power10 / Power11
