Service Offerings:

Corus360's services around our IBM i mainframe allow for customers to develop and test their applications and operating systems prior to implementing them in their own systems, thus enabling secure and smoother transitions when the time to upgrade comes. With our help, your organization can successfully:

• Conduct Application Upgrade Testing
  
  Testing application upgrades at the Corus360 Recovery Center allows you to maintain production at your site as you "test the waters" of new application developments. We provide the floor space, the operating platforms, the hardware and the remote hands to assist you in your process of testing before upgrading your applications. Our network services also allow you to access our facility remotely or on-site so that you can test or monitor an upgrade from wherever you are located.

• Perform Operating System Upgrade Testing
  
  By testing the transition from one version of your operating system to another at our facility, you allow the production of your business functions on-site to remain uninterrupted and untouched during the test. Testing the upgrade before performing it on your own system results in the opportunity to change or further develop the system before actual implementation and a smoother transition during the actual upgrade of your operating system. Corus360 provides the floor space, the hardware and the assistance nevessary to making your upgrade process successful. We can also build partitions, replicate data or recover information on to our iSeries box as needed during the development and testing phases.

• Create Migration Strategies
  
  Corus360 helps your organization create migration strategies for moving your data and workloads to the iSeries from other platforms. With years of expertise and experience, our team assesses your current operating system and applications, helps determine what requirements must be met on the iSeries to host such applications, and assists in the actual conversion of data and applications prior to the migration. The creation of a migration strategy allows your organization to save time and money during the process of moving from your current operating system to the IBM iSeries, thus granting you shorter downtime and fewer problems during transition.

With the option of developing upgrades of your applications and operating systems off-site, there is no impact on your production in-house and no cost of investment to perform the testing of these upgrades. Utilize these services to your advantage and seamlessly satisfy your capacity needs as your business fluctuates and grows.
