Join us for an engaging LISUG evening focused on one thing that matters to every IBM i shop: staying resilient—whether the threat is an unexpected outage or the growing pressure to modernize. You’ll walk away with practical takeaways you can apply right away, plus a clearer picture of how to reduce risk while preparing for what’s next.

Pre-Session: DR Planning Yearly Checkup – Ensure your DR Plan Works in a Disaster
You have a disaster recovery plan… but are you truly prepared? In today’s cloud-driven world, surviving a real event depends on how well you’ve planned for the unexpected. This session breaks down the essential components of DR planning as it relates to availability and recovery—and why testing is critical to uncovering points of failure, hidden assumptions, and technical gaps before a disaster exposes them.

Main Session: Be a Catalyst: Unlocking the Power of IBM in the Cloud
Take a guided journey through secure, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions purpose-built for IBM i. We’ll explore how to unlock modern IBM Power capabilities without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk—while driving real business outcomes. We’ll also discuss how POWERVS fits into the picture and how to choose the right path across Public, Private, or Multi-Cloud, including: resiliency solutions delivering uptime results, hybrid cloud architecture for resiliency/security/compliance, why cloud computing matters for businesses, and a bonus “big reason” you may not have considered.

Come ready for a fast-paced, high-value night—whether you’re tightening up DR, exploring cloud options, or trying to connect the dots between modernization and measurable uptime. You’ll leave with a stronger plan, clearer direction, and ideas you can bring back to your team immediately.
