Meridian’s certified IBM Power and cloud architects consult with customers to design a cloud architecture that works best for the customer’s unique workloads and business requirements. Skytap’s unrivaled technology provides high-performance IBM Power infrastructure, combined with the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud.
With Meridian and Skytap, businesses are able to migrate their traditional IBM Power, IBM i (AS/400), and AIX workloads running on IBM Power to run natively on the public cloud. Meridian has been architecting, deploying, and managing IBM Power environments globally since 1992, and supporting cloud deployments since 2010. This offering allows customers to quickly modify memory and CPW or have it added dynamically with zero disruption to their business. Meridian’s services provide customers cost-effective monitoring and management of their cloud workloads and gets customers out of the inflexible capital expense model of buying and managing hardware so they can focus on strategic functions.
