• Organizations running mission-critical workloads—especially IBM i (IBM Power) and VMware—that need a secure, compliant, and low-risk path to hybrid cloud.
• Best fit customers typically: Operate legacy or on-prem environments and need to modernize without disruption or replatforming
• Rely on IBM i or VMware but lack internal expertise to manage or evolve these platforms
• Require high availability, strong security, and compliance (HIPAA, PCI, financial regulations)
• Are looking to exit data centers while maintaining performance and control
• Need low-latency connectivity between core systems and public cloud (AWS/Azure)
• Prefer a partner that can deliver both infrastructure and managed services with 100% onshore support

Lightedge is especially well-suited for mid-market and enterprise organizations where IT environments are complex, regulated, and critical to business operations—and where a phased, hybrid approach is required to reduce risk and enable long-term growth.

Lightedge is the partner you bring in when the environment is too critical or complex for standard providers—especially when IBM i (IBM Power) and VMware are at the core.

We don’t force customers to replace what already works. Instead, we stabilize their most important systems and create a low-risk path to hybrid cloud—connecting them to AWS and Azure without disruption.

What truly sets Lightedge apart is our ability to support the full environment end-to-end, backed by owned infrastructure, deep platform expertise, and 100% onshore engineers who take accountability for every outcome.
