AIX and i/OS Upgrades

Typically, most systems will require one major OS upgrade a year. In addition, periodic PTF loads are advisable to maintain the systems integrity. Undoubtedly, nearly all of our clients have the competence in their own teams to undertake an OS upgrade. However, for many it is still an anxious task that can be a cause for concern.

The technical teams at Applied Technologies are loading and upgrading AIX and i/OS servers on a daily basis. They are very familiar with the task in hand, the pitfalls and the appropriate precautions. Whilst many of our clients have the skills, they prefer to outsource the work to our team to benefit from this experience. Of particular note at the moment is the upgrade from i/OS 5.4 to 6.1 and the necessity to check the observability of your system's code. We will gladly provide advise on this and any other OS related subject.

We can provide ad hoc services to perform a single upgrade, or we can consider a contract for a year or more, during which time we will provide ongoing services to keep your systems up to date with OS and PTFs.

Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific requirement.
