LPAR (Logical Partitioning)

LPAR allows a business to consolidate diverse workloads into independent systems across a single hardware footprint.

Logical Partitioning enhances the role of the iSeries as a consolidated server. LPAR is of value to customers who need server consolidation, business unit consolidation, mixed production, and a QA and test environment. By consolidating critical data and applications on the iSeries, you can do more than cut costs; you can create a total business solution that’s greater than the sum of its parts. That, in turn, means you can go to market faster, smarter and more efficiently than the competition.

With the introduction of V5R1, these independent LPAR systems can now dynamically move and adjust logical resources across systems to provide for timely processing performance as needed. V5R1 also introduced the possibilities for independent ASP (IASP), provides for off-line or on-line ASP storage for the IFS objects. System clustering, Linux kernel guest partition, and Virtual LAN emulating an internal 1Gb Ethernet line.

We service multi-customer business footprints. We have worked hard to build a support network of satisfied and returning clientele. Some of the service offerings are as follows:

  • Hardware design to assure the business has the right hardware in the right place using the required rules for functionality and positioned for performance.
  • LPAR configuration provides information for correct ordering, after hardware placement, resource assignment and disaster recovery. We will interface with the sales representative, customer engineer, and supporting vendors if necessary.
  • Planning and implementation services to assure a successful outcome.
  • Transitioning to provide the client with wrap around support.
  • Training to assure the client has the ability to support and maintain the partitioned environment.
  • We provide the maximum support possible to bring this project in on scope, on budget and on time.
