Cloud Hosting

If youre having trouble keeping track of a busy IT environment, youre not alone many organizations are in the same boat as you. But when you check out many observability tools, youll often find they dont even know how to spell IBM i. That is not the case with Galileo Suite, a collection of IT monitoring and observability tools from Advanced Technology Service Group that supports a range of operating systems, including IBM i.

IT Jungle caught sight of Galileo Suite at the recent COMMON POWERUp conference in New Orleans, where the company behind the suite, ATS Group, had a booth in the expo. While ATS Group appears to offer a range of services for IBM i customers, including cloud hosting and modernization and migration offerings, it was Galileo Suite that was the headliner.

ATS Group supports IBM i with at least some of the tools in the Galileo Suite, which is more than many of the biggest names in IT observability can say. The suite consists of:

ATS Group sells these solutions via four main packages, including Basic, which costs about $2 per endpoint per month; Pro, which costs about $8 per endpoint per month; and Business, which costs $15 per endpoint per month.

ATS Group is an IBM business partner that specializes in IBM modernization. The Malvern, Pennsylvania-based company also runs a private cloud, where it manages thousands of Power environments, including IBM i, AIX, and Linux. The ATS PowerCloud, as it is called, is spread across four geographically separate data centers, the company says.

It also offers disaster recovery, remote administration of IBM i, AIX, and Linux environments, as well as co-location of customers Power environments in ATS Groups data centers.

Although IBM remains committed to Power Systems running AIX and IBM i with an enhancement roadmap beyond 2035, its becoming harder than ever to find qualified, trustworthy people to manage those environments, ATS Group Principal Tim Conley states on the ATS Group website.

Most IT organizations are facing: outsourcing their systems administration to people who dont understand IBM Power, he says, or retiring the architecture in which they invested plenty of time and resources.

Conley claims his company has helped more than 500 businesses keep their critical Power Systems running.

We reached out to Galileo Suite and ATS Group for more information on IBM i support, but didnt hear back by press time. For more information, check out the Galileo Suite at galileosuite.com/ and ATS Group at theatsgroup.com/.
