Editor's Notes

  1. Thank you for joining Connectria’s on-demand presentation, “Introducing Connectria’s IBM i Cloud Hosting”
  2. So let’s begin with a brief overview of Connectria.Connectria was founded in 1996 and gained its entry into the market through hosting complex technologies and environments. For example, our first customer was the world’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank. At a time before many other hosting companies had yet to be founded, Connectria began hosting replicated database environments across mixed server and operating system platforms with complex firewalls and necessary security in place capable of withstanding FDIC audit. This is unlike other hosting companies that began simply renting space in a rack. Over the years, Connectria built upon its success of hosting these types of complex, customized environments largely through word of mouth. Today Connectria is a global managed hosting company with dedicated server, cloud hosting and customized hosting services. We have three (3) established data center locations, two (2) in St. Louis, Missouri which is where we’re headquartered, and one (1) in Philadelphia, PA. We’ve also secured a fourth US-based data center in Dallas, TX, which will be opening in the coming months. We’re financially sound and profitable since we’ve been in business. And as a private company our allegiance is only to our customers and partners.We’ve provided hosting services to over 1,000 customers in over 30 countries, with about 20% of our customers located outside of North America. We address customers of all vertical markets and have a healthy mix of medium to large enterprise customers as well as SMB.We do believe that Connectria stands out among the crowd of hosting companies as having strong hosting expertise across a wide set of technologies and platforms, including IBM.Key growth markets for Connectria include IBM i and AIX dedicated and cloud hosting, Remote Administration Services, Citrix Hosting, SaaS hosting and compliance hosting, such as HIPAA.
  3. Connectria has a long history and experience hosting IBM technologies. As an IBM Business Partner and 3 time IBM Beacon Award Winner, Connectria provides a variety of hosting services for IBM AIX (pSeries), DB2, IBM i (iSeries - AS/400), XWork Server, Lotus Notes / Domino and WebSphere, among others.In particular, Connectria has developed and continues to grow a strong expertise with the POWER Systems running AS/400 and AIX. Customers around the globe, including IBM, recognize Connectria’s deep understanding and knowledge for maintaining and managing IBM POWER SYSTEMS environments.
  4. In addition to the wide range of IBM technologies we host, Connectria provides several options around our IBM services. For those customers who want to run their applications in an IBM environment, however do not either have nor wish to use their own servers, Connectria provides a hosted solution on our IBM equipment located within our data centers. For a fixed monthly fee, customers run their applications housed in our data centers on our IBM servers, while Connectria provides managed services for their environment according to their needs. We also provide an option where customers may locate their IBM servers within our data center for Connectria to host and manage as well. Finally, Connectria offers remote administration and monitoring services for customers who want to retain servers within their facilities, however either do not have the staff or they want to relieve their staff of the administrative function. Our remote administration and monitoring provide a practical entry point into Connectria’s services at a very affordable price point, starting as low as $895/month.
  5. Connectria offers an array of managed hosting services, whether dedicated server, cloud or hybrid solutions. We have a strong cloud offer that includes public, private and hybrid clouds, as well as on-demand cloud storage. Our range of services include packaged managed plans as well as custom, a la carte options. And we also offer flexible service license agreements to meet unique requirements of our customers. Examples of managed services include server monitoring, o/s updates, a full range of security services and data backups.
  6. Connectria is proud of its track record in supporting a variety of IBM customers with superior managed hosting services. Here are a few of our customers that represent a wide range of size and services, each with a specific solution that meet their specific requirements.
  7. In addition to Connectria’s extensive managed hosting for the IBM i, now customers can run their applications in the Cloud. Introducing Connectria’s IBM i Cloud. It’s everything you’d expect in a cloud including rapid provisioning for both development and production environments, high reliability, scalability, flexibility and affordable pricing. Customers of Connectria’s IBM i Cloud Hosting Solutions will be able to purchase the IBM i capacity and support they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it – all backed by Connectria’s world-class 24/7 IBM i administration and support.
  8. Connectria’s IBM i Cloud Hosting is available as a public, private or hybrid cloud. It leverages the power and resiliency of the IBM POWER7 and VIOS, and is architected to delivery a flexible, low cost solution. Starting as low as $1245/month, Connectria’s IBM i Cloud Hosting solutions are an excellent alternative to purchasing an IBM i System and running it yourself. For each Virtual Machine, customers can add processor, memory or disk capacity as needed, as well as scale from as little as 595 CPW to more than 50,000 CPW. In addition to the IBM i capacity that customers purchase, they will also purchase Connectria’s world-renowned 24/7 IBM i administration and support to ensure their IBM i systems are secure, reliable, and running at peak performance.Connectria’s IBM i Cloud Hosting solutions support IBM i V5R4, V6R1, and V7R1 environments, and come in three options: a low cost Silver Cloud for IBM i, a high availability Gold Cloud for IBM i and a replicated Platinum Cloud for IBM i.
  9. Connectria Silver Cloud For IBM I is a low cost option, with IBM i Virtual Machines running on a single IBM i POWER7 System. You can add processor, memory or disk capacity to any IBM i Virtual Machine as needed. With pricing starting as low as $1245.00 Per Month with Full Managed Services, Connectria’s IBM i Silver Cloud is an attractive option.Connectria Gold Cloud For IBM i provides an added layer of high availability. IBM i Virtual Machines run on a cluster of IBM i POWER7 Systems connected to a high performance Storage Area Network (SAN), where all Virtual Machines and their data reside. If any IBM i POWER7 System fails, all IBM i Virtual Machines running on a failed POWER7 System automatically restart on another POWER7 System within the cluster - with no changes required to your applications or software! As with the Silver Cloud, you can add processor, memory or disk space to any Virtual Machine as needed.
  10. Connectria’s Platinum Cloud For IBM i is a replicated solution with full disaster recovery. Here, virtual machines run on a POWER7 System in one Connectria data center, that is replicated to another POWER7 System in another Connectria data center. If the primary environment is unavailable, the secondary environment will be brought online. The Connectria Platinum Cloud for IBM i, in effect, delivers a pre-designed and pre-tested cloud disaster recovery solution.
  11. For those considering a hosted solution for their IBM i environment, whether dedicated server or Cloud, we believe Connectria should merit strong consideration:As an IBM Business Partner with over 10 years of IBM i managed hosting experience, the IBM i is a strategic platform for Connectria in which we have strong expertise and ongoing commitment.Connectria is a genuine expert in hosting complex, technology environments. As the only hosting company who is a member of IBM’s Large User Group (LUG), Connectria continues to invest in IBM platforms our customers require, including past, present and future. Our data centers and support are world class, and we’re committed to adherence of evolving standards. For instance, recently Connectria’s data centers have successfully undergone SSAE 16 Type II audit).We’ll help you architect the right hosted IBM i solution for you, according to your business requirements. As you engage with us, you’ll quickly discover we’ve done this before. Most of all we’re simply easy to work with…as a smaller company, we don’t encumber you with bureaucracy. As mentioned earlier, we’re a private company and answer to no one but our customers and partners. We have strong technical expertise and we engage the right people throughout engagement, implementation and support. We always do what’s right by our customers. This includes being flexible with customized solutions and terms if needed. But you shouldn’t just take our word for it….our customers can and have testified to that. In fact, recent Connectria customer surveys implemented by an independent party revealed 100% customer satisfaction. This mentality to always do right by our customers and treating people with courtesy, respect and dignity permeates Connectria… and our customers tell us it shows. We’ve even implemented a No Jerks Allowed policy within Connectria as a constant reminder to ensure we’re an organization of integrity, courtesy and mutual respect. So once again, we hope you consider Connectria as a viable hosting partner for your IBM i dedicated, cloud or remote services solution.
