AIX Infrastructure Optimization

Context

The client, a key player in critical services, must ensure the stability, performance, and availability of its technical platforms. These infrastructures rely on IBM AIX environments and IBM TSM backup systems, which are essential for business continuity. To secure operations, support hardware upgrades, and enhance the reliability of these environments, the client relies on Avaliance to optimize and maintain its system and backup infrastructures.

Challenges

The client needed to ensure the availability and reliability of IBM TSM backup systems while maintaining service continuity during sensitive hardware migration operations on IBM Power environments.

The challenges also included optimizing the performance of AIX systems and multi-vendor storage infrastructures, reducing technical incidents, and improving overall service quality in critical environments.

Avaliance Intervention

Achievements

Avaliance deployed a structured approach to the operation and optimization of critical infrastructures, built around the following pillars:
  • administration and monitoring of IBM TSM backup environments (installation, configuration, incident management)

  • administration of IBM AIX systems, including support for hardware migrations (Power8 to Power10), tuning, and troubleshooting

  • management and optimization of multi-vendor storage environments (IBM DS8000, Storwize, Dell, Hitachi)

  • contribution to the continuous improvement of existing infrastructures and operational continuity support
