AS/400 Legacy Hosting

Running legacy systems can present a particular problem for many organisations because of the cost of retaining support staff, and the increasing scarcity of the technical skills required.
Businesses run legacy systems for a variety of reasons; legislation, requirements to access historical data and compliance. The costs of upgrading or modernising kit are simply not economic.
Outsourcing your hosting of legacy systems to Frontline means that you retain full access and control of your systems – but without the headaches of maintaining it and keeping it running on a day-to-day basis. Our experience means that you have access to the AS/400 skills and advice you need but without the overhead of employed staff.
What’s more, with your equipment hosted at Frontline’s data centre you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your system is in a resilient and highly protected purpose-built environment.
