IBM Midrange Hosting Services

Power systems including System i, iSeries, and AS/400.

Using one of the UKSYS.net midrange (incorporating IBM System i, iSeries, and AS/400) hosting packages can help your business reduce its midrange computing costs, by offering a cost effective alternative to maintaining systems internally. The UKSYS.net data-centre offers a secure and reliable environment to host your System i (iSeries, AS/400) midrange applications or data.

UKSYS.net System i (iSeries, AS/400) hosting service provides the ideal platform required to help small to medium sized enterprises generate savings, and reduce the total cost of ownership of their application services or data retention requirements.

Since the introduction of particular regulations, it has become necessary for companies to retain certain legacy data for an extended period of time. Due to the complexities of some applications, it may prove difficult and time consuming to extract application data and present these data in an acceptable format. Because of the competitive rates of our hosting services, UKSYS.net can offer a realistic alternative to data extraction, and keep legacy application data accessible for as long as required.

Other areas our hosting service can offer savings. If your company is leasing or renting system hardware, we know this can be costly. To help alleviate costs, we can re-create your environments upon a UKSYS.net system, freeing you from expensive rental or leasing agreements.

System purchase plan
UKSYS.net can purchase your company IBM System i (iSeries, AS/400) hardware, then install and operate the equipment from our data-centre. This option offers you a return on your original equipment purchase, whilst retaining access to your application data through our high quality midrange hosting services.
