Same hardware. Same HSM architecture. Zero compromise.

Migrate from IBM Hyper Protect – Without Changing Your Applications

IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services is being phased out. For organizations that rely on dedicated HSM capabilities, Keep Your Own Key models, or strict control over cryptographic material, this creates an urgent need for a secure and future-ready migration path.

IBM has announced the deprecation of core Hyper Protect services

IBM is phasing out its Hyper Protect portfolio, requiring action from existing users: Hyper Protect Virtual Servers (HPVS) can no longer be newly deployed since February 2026 and will be fully shut down by February 2027 , while Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) is already deprecated and will reach End of Life in March 2027 . In addition, related capabilities such as HPCS integrations have already been deprecated as of March 2026, further limiting functionality and reinforcing the need for a timely migration.

PHOENIQS Key Management

A True Like-for-Like Replacement

PHOENIQS provides fully equivalent services to IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Servers (HPVS) and Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) on its sovereign cloud platform, leveraging the same IBM LinuxONE-based infrastructure, identical FIPS 140-2 Level 4–certified HSM technology, and the same confidential computing architecture that underpins Hyper Protect. This architectural parity ensures that organizations can migrate seamlessly while preserving their existing security model, cryptographic controls, and application behavior.
