Hosted iSeries describes the same practical hosting pattern many IBM i teams search for with older platform names. The business keeps its RPG, COBOL, Db2 for i, and green-screen workloads, but the physical or virtual Power infrastructure is hosted and often managed by a provider.
Hosted iSeries is most useful when the buyer needs continuity without a full application migration. The application can keep running while the infrastructure support model changes.
