Three Big Reasons Cloud400 is significantly less expensive than an on-premise IBM POWER i server (without sacrificing an ounce of performance or security).
1. Pay For Only The Small Portion Of A POWER i You Need With IBM i Cloud Hosting
First, with Cloud400 you don’t have to pay for the huge performance, memory and disk increments that come standard even in the smallest IBM POWER i server. The fact is that 80% of the installed IBM AS400s, iSeries and System i’s only need a fraction of the IBM POWER i to run their legacy applications. IBM i, IBM iSeries, AS400 hosting will cost you less than you think.
2. Stop Paying IBM User Licenses Fees, Processor Activation Fees And IBM Support With IBM i Cloud Hosting
Second, with Cloud400 you don’t have to pay for user licenses or processor activation fees like you do with a new IBM POWER i. You don’t even pay for IBM hardware or software support fees. And NO Service Extension fees.
For example, if you are thinking about an Enterprise P10 POWER server with 100 users, the IBM price for 100 users is $25,000 with a $14,995 processor activation fee. That’s $39,995 of extra fees you DON’T have to pay with Cloud400.
What if you are thinking about an Entry P05 POWER with 100 users? That’s $18,000 you don’t spend for users and $2,495 you don’t spend for processor activation fees. You save $20,495 with Cloud400.

What Our Customers Say:
"As a 20+ year AS/400, iSeries veteran, it was such a pleasure finding Bob and his team at Source Data. I have always had my systems in my own data center and the prospect of moving it to the cloud was unsettling. After meeting Bob and his team all my concerns vanished. They demonstrated the kind of expertise and dedication you normally find only in your most trusted employees."
"When you are running mission critical applications you can't afford to miss a beat. The other cloud companies we looked at made me feel like we were just a number. Source Data gave us the attention that demonstrated they are just as committed as we are."
"I wish every company I did business with had the same level of competency as they do."
“Heck, the day after we went live we had a power failure in Baton Rouge. Our office went down, but our other 18 offices kept right on running.”
“Now that we are on Cloud400 we don’t have to buy another machine.”
“Had we found a fit like Cloud400™ we would have migrated long ago. I would tell a friend they would be crazy to spend any money on new hardware…or write another check for hardware or software maintenance.”
“The Cloud400 team is world-class, top-notch, easy to work with, professional, get-the-job-done-above-and-beyond."
“I would recommend Cloud400 to any and everybody without hesitation. I already have.”
“Cloud400™ Contributes To A Real Watershed Moment For The Growth Of Equitable Life & Casualty With A Target System In Sync And Failover Ready.”
“When I got off the phone with the Cloud400 Project Leader I thought, ‘Wow, finally IBM i support guys who know exactly what they are doing’ ”.
“I would recommend Cloud400™ for any user that needs Disaster Recovery (DR) or hosting of any OS400 application. It almost does not make sense to purchase an on-premise server.”
“Cloud400™ is less expensive than the cost we pay for IBM hardware and software support. Plus we get that added benefit of better disaster recovery, no SunGard fees and no extra expense for backup tapes.”
“Cloud400™ is less expensive than a new IBM server. We save $233 per month – 31% less than a POWER i.”
“Even more amazing is how fast Cloud400 is. It’s like a Ferrari compared to our old AS400. It’s wonderful.”
Less Expensive Than An IBM POWER i. More Flexible Than A Capital Expenditure. Knowledgeable, Attentive Service. Improved Performance.
“A new server was too expensive, our 9406 was too slow and we still needed Disaster Recovery. We needed a way to meet all our needs.”
“We are very happy that we joined Cloud400. If anybody is asking me, I would 100% approve Cloud400 and recommend it.”
“Now that we are on Cloud400, the real specialists take care of OS400, PTFs, and version upgrades. The Cloud400 team stays on top of all the changes.”
“It did not make much sense for CGB to buy a new IBM POWER7 server. When we looked at renewing IBM support for our aging 9406-270, we also looked at Cloud400. Since Cloud400 was about the same cost as IBM support, well, it was a ‘no brainer’."
"Cloud400 is the best economic choice, hands down.”
