Rocket iCluster
Rocket iCluster high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) solutions ensure uninterrupted operation for your IBM i applications, providing continuous access by monitoring, identifying, and self-correcting replication problems. iCluster’s multiple-cluster administration console monitors events in real-time on the classic green screen and the modern web UI. Rocket iCluster reduces downtime related to unexpected IBM i system interruptions with real-time, fault-tolerant, object-level replication. In the event of an outage, you can bring a “warm” mirror of a clustered IBM i system into service within minutes. iCluster disaster recovery software ensures a high-availability environment by giving business applications concurrent access to both master and replicated data. This setup allows you to offload critical business tasks such as running reports and queries as well as ETL, EDI, and web tasks from your secondary system without affecting primary system performance.

OpenMetal
Our technology allows you to spin up a full hosted private cloud in 45 seconds. Think of it as the first “private cloud as a service”.
All hosted private clouds start with a Cloud Core. OpenMetal’s Cloud Core is a hyper-converged set of 3 hosted servers of your chosen hardware type, spun up as a service.
Your cloud is powered by OpenStack and Ceph. This brings you everything from Compute/VMs and Block Storage to powerful software defined networking to trivial-to-deploy Kubernetes. Plus, tooling for Day 2 Operations with built in monitoring, all bundled up in a modern portal.
OpenMetal hosted private clouds are API-first systems to enable teams to use infrastructure as code. We recommend Terraform. CLI and GUI are also available by default.
