Keep your ECC Powered on Power VS

Lift and shift your SAP ECC environment to a stable, compliant, and secure position using Power Virtual Server.
Preserve architectural consistency: keep your SAP data, custom codes, workflows, and integrations, as is.
Keep your ECC environment on the cutting edge of technology with IBM Cloud's SAP-certified, robust infrastructure, ensuring your critical workloads run smoothly and efficiently.
Level the playing field, reset vendor pressure, avoid looming hardware refresh cycles or data center lease expirations, and accelerate your transformation at your discretion.
Get continuous monitoring, management, and optimization of your Power VS environment, enabling your IT teams to focus on your HANA or RISE transformation.

A RISE of a new dawn

With SAP’s mainstream support for ECC ending in 2027, many organizations are at a crossroads. The migration from ECC to RISE is complex, long, time-consuming, and effort-intensive, and it is riddled with challenges and budget overruns. In most cases, organizations start their journey unprepared because of the looming deadline.

GlassHouse Systems' experts help organizations navigate the crossroads between SAP ECC continuity and S/4HANA and RISE transformation.

Modernize without disrupting mission-critical operations

IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS) provides exactly that bridge: a secure, production-ready cloud platform that lets you move ECC today, retain full control of transformation timing, and eliminate unnecessary hardware and financial risk.

With PowerVS, IT leaders gain strategic flexibility: migrate ECC to the cloud now, maintain control over pace and budget, and align modernization with board-level mandates. You avoid forced hardware refreshes, preserve your Power architecture, and ensure uninterrupted performance while preparing for RISE or S/4HANA.

PowerVS guarantees operational resilience. Supply chain, finance, and manufacturing processes continue without disruption. High availability, global DR, and compliance-ready backups keep ECC running smoothly. No forklift upgrades, no double-spend, no downtime. You protect business continuity today while creating a clean, low-risk runway for ERP transformation tomorrow.

Your transformation teams can now benefit from a managed, low-friction environment that simplifies migration and testing. You can modernize infrastructure, streamline DR, and decouple ECC cleanly when ready for RISE, all while maintaining stability for global rollouts.

Under the hood, your Finance and Audit teams see tangible risk and cost control. PowerVS replaces capex with predictable opex, ensures encrypted backups, meets audit retention policies, and supports RPO/RTO-ready DR. When ECC workloads retire, your billing retires with them. No stranded assets, no compliance gaps.

Challenge / Risk	Power VS Advantage	Outcome for You
Platform shift risk	You remain on IBM Power architecture from on-prem → cloud	No need to re-architect to x86, reducing complexity and risk
Migration time & cost	IBM internal modelling and client benchmarks indicate 15–25% faster migration vs heterogeneous moves (IBM)	Quicker time-to-value and lower project cost
Testing & tuning overhead	Your existing batch jobs, RFC setups, APIs, and performance tuning carry over to Power VS.	Reduced rework and shortened test cycles (IBM)
Footprint and operations	Fewer instances to manage in the cloud; simplified patching & operations	Lower operational overhead, higher availability
Certified support	IBM is the only SAP-certified Power hyperscaler in the cloud today (SAP News Center)	Confidence that SAP supports your architecture
Built-in reliability & security	Power ranks #1 in server availability and 14× fewer critical vulnerabilities on hypervisor (SAP News Center)	Strong SLAs, secure architecture from hardware up
Integrated security & compliance	IBM Cloud spans 13 security layers, identity, compliance, and tools	Seamless governance, audit readiness, and hybrid workload support

#1 Ranked in availability among SAP-certified servers

For the fifteenth year in a row, IBM Z and Power Systems servers dominated the reliability and security landscape, delivering the highest levels of uptime and security among 18 server hardware and operating system platforms.
