Modernize AIX & IBM i.
One supported open source stack for all of IBM Power. Bring modern DevOps, security and databases to AIX and IBM i — on the hardware you already run. Built, signed and supported by SIXE.
IBM Power runs the world's most critical workloads. Yet the modern open source toolchain rarely reaches AIX and IBM i — and when it does, you're left patching dependencies, fixing builds and hoping it holds. LibrePower is supported open source for AIX and IBM i that works out of the box — curated, signed, tested on real hardware, and backed by SIXE as a production-grade service.
Supported, end to end
AIX
71 GPG-signed RPM packages — from AI inference and containers to databases and modern CLI tooling. One repo, one command. Supported in production by SIXE.
vLLM, podman-aix, MariaDB 11, PHP 8.3 Full LAMP/LEMP stack with the IBM AIX Toolbox Hardening, custom ports & SLA support
IBM i
A curated open source set in its own native repo, packaged for IBM i (PASE). Modernize PASE workflows with full enterprise support.
ripgrep, Caddy, Vault, rclone & 40+ more Modern DevOps, security & observability Hardening, custom ports & SLA support
From legacy to modern, on the same LPAR
Start from what you run
We map your AIX and IBM i estate — versions, workloads, security baseline — and find where modern open source delivers the most value, fastest. No assumptions, no slideware.
One repo, signed packages
Add the LibrePower repository and install packages, just like on Linux. No rip-and-replace, no new hardware, no architectural rewrite.
Tuned to your policy
We pin keys, align builds to your security baseline, wire in observability and CI/CD, and port anything missing for your environment.
Sustained, in your language
SLA-backed support, daily CVE scans and updates — from the same SIXE engineers who build and sign the packages, in English, French, Spanish or German.
The toolset we support on Power
AI & Inference
Databases & Web
Containers & Observability
Security & DevOps
Two native repos — one for AIX, one for IBM i. GPG-signed, scanned daily, kept current.
Browse the full catalogProduction-grade, not "it compiled once"
Every package is built and tested on real IBM Power hardware — POWER8, POWER9 and POWER10 — through our CI/CD pipeline. Never emulation, never cross-compilation.
Signed & scanned
Every binary is GPG-signed with a fingerprint-pinned key and CVE-scanned daily. Production-grade trust, out of the box.
Hardening & custom ports
Need a package that isn't in the repo, or a build tuned to your security baseline? We port, patch and harden on request.
