01
PTF groups and licensed programs
Cumulative and group PTFs, licensed program issues, and the fix that should have been applied last quarter — on a change window you approve.
OS Support
IBM i Support.
IBM i 6.1 through 7.6. Licensed programs, PTF groups, independent ASPs, and the midrange systems that still run finance and operations.
IBM i
What We Cover.
IBM i (AS/400, i5/OS) still runs payroll, inventory, and month-end batch. Vendor coverage is often priced like a refresh. We quote the partitions you actually run.
NETRAID engineers work PTF groups, licensed programs, independent ASPs, and the save that has to finish before the window closes. 6.1 through 7.6.

FAQ
Questions about IBM i.
Do you still cover IBM i 6.1 and 7.1?
Yes. If the partition is in production, we staff it. Newer 7.x releases are in scope as well.
Is this a replacement for IBM Software Maintenance?
It is independent OS support. You get engineers on IBM i. Hardware coverage for Power and storage is quoted separately if you want it.
Can you help with a version upgrade?
Consulting is in scope — version-to-version, IASP layout, and the save strategy around the cut. Some 6.1 partitions should stay; we cover those while you plan.
