Migrating mission-critical IBM i workloads and upgrading operating system levels are two of the most important, yet often the most disruptive, projects for IBM i teams. Join Kris Whitney, IBM i Chief Architect, for an in-depth IBM i Guided Tour of the latest version of IBM i Migrate While Active, now with new capabilities designed to help organizations move production workloads and perform IBM i operating system upgrades with significantly reduced planned downtime. During this IBM i Guided Tour, you will learn how IBM i Migrate While Active enables production systems to remain operational while system and data changes are synchronized to the target environment in near real time. Kris will walk through how the solution supports a structured migration and upgrade process, including the initial system save, transfer and restore to the target environment, ongoing synchronization of changed data, validation, and final cutover. The Guided Tour will also highlight how IBM i Migrate While Active helps reduce complex multi-step save and restore processes, simplify migration and upgrade workflows, reduce operational risk, and maintain business continuity throughout the transition.
