COMMON POWERUp 2026

Migrating critical workloads to new infrastructure or cloud environments has traditionally required significant downtime and complex planning. With Migrate While Active, organizations running IBM i can now move production systems to cloud environments while keeping applications running and business operations uninterrupted. In this session, we will explore how IBM i Migrate While Active enables near-continuous system availability during migrations by synchronizing production data between the source and target systems in real time. You will learn how the process works and how the approach can reduce downtime from days to minutes or hours depending on environment size and network bandwidth. Join us to understand the architecture behind this solution, the supported migration scenarios, and best practices for planning and executing a successful migration.
