IBM Hybrid Architecture

Connect IBM i and AIX to hyperscale cloud providers with complete flexibility

Run IBM i and AIX workloads in Connectria’s state of the art cloud with ultra low-latency connectivity to hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Interconnectivity for AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and Alibaba Cloud.*
_{^{(*ASEAN region only)}}

Colocation, bare metal, and private cloud options available.

Built on the latest IBM POWER10 hardware with support for up to P30.

A complete cloud solution for IBM Power and connected x86 infrastructure.

We don’t see your IBM i, AIX, or AS/400 workloads as obstacles—we see opportunities to connect the dots between where your business is today and the possibility of the future. Our phased approach helps you assess the best path to the cloud, migrate without disruption, simplify management, and modernize legacy applications with cloud services.
