This example architecture shows how to use the native IBM i backup and recovery services with Microsoft Azure components to quickly migrate IBM i workloads to Skytap on Azure. This native IBM Power9 infrastructure is hosted in an Azure datacenter, minimizing the latency between traditional workloads and those running natively on Azure. You get the reliability and reach of Azure, the flexibility to deploy and scale IBM i logical partitions (LPARs) on demand, plus full backup and recovery services through Azure Storage.
