Flexible IBM Power Systems Resourcing & Top-Up Services

Modular IBM Systems Expertise Designed Around Your Needs

Our Flexible IBM Systems Resourcing Services allow you to access senior IBM i, AIX and UNIX expertise without committing to full managed administration.

You can select individual support elements or combine them into a structured package.

This is modular IBM systems support designed around operational risk and internal capability.

Select Individual Services

Organisations often require targeted assistance in specific areas, including:

• OS patch and upgrade management
• Firmware upgrade planning
• PowerHA testing and validation
• Backup and restore testing
• Security review and hardening
• Performance remediation
• Upgrade or migration project support
• Complex troubleshooting and escalation

Each service can be scoped independently.

Combine Services into a Structured Top-Up Package

Many clients combine elements into a monthly allocation, including:

• Regular patch governance
• Scheduled health checks
• Quarterly HA testing
• Ongoing advisory support
• Escalation access for complex issues

This model provides structured resilience without fully outsourcing systems administration.

We provide structured technical leave cover for:

• Annual leave
• Parental leave
• Sabbaticals
• Long-term absence
• Recruitment or transition gaps

Support can be delivered as:

• Fixed-term cover

Continuity is preserved and operational risk reduced.

Project & Surge Capacity

For defined technical initiatives, including:

• IBM i or AIX upgrades
• Hardware refresh
• Data centre migration
• HA implementation

We provide experienced engineering resource without long-term employment commitment.
