Famsoft - IBM Partnership

Famsoft & IBM Partnership

Famsoft has been an IBM Business Partner for over 15 years. Our relationship with IBM goes back to 2003 when we successfully migrated Netflix from Sun infrastructure to IBM's robust, scalable and high-availability Power Systems with very little downtime. As a result, IBM recognized Famsoft as the "Regional Systems Integrator" and also a Certified Migration Partner.

As a company that has been assisting businesses to lower their complete infrastructure cost, Famsoft can assess your current environment, provide hardware and storage recommendations, resell the hardware, implement the hardware and complete the migration of databases and applications to IBM platform with minimum inconvenience to you, the customer. Famsoft offers a broad spectrum of IBM hardware and software solutions, including the complete line of IBM Power Systems and System x servers and storage solutions. Some of our IBM Migration clients include: Netflix, Cobalt Group and Viking Range.
