15 reasons to adopt Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization offers a unified platform for managing both virtual machines (VMs) and containers, reducing operational complexity and paving the way for modernization. Read more about a case study that explains how the adoption of Red Hat OpenShift led to a 97% decrease in system reliability incidents and improved developer productivity. Explore more about how Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization can benefit your business.
OpenShift Virtualization simplifies the migration of your VMs while offering a path for infrastructure modernization, taking advantage of the simplicity and speed of a cloud-native application platform. It aims to preserve existing virtualization investments while embracing modern management principles, and it’s the foundation for Red Hat’s comprehensive virtualization solution.
What are the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization?
Easy migration
OpenShift Virtualization includes a simple way to migrate VMs from other hypervisors with the included Migration Toolkit for Virtualization. You can even migrate VMs to the cloud. For hands-on support with your migration, Red Hat Services provides mentor-based consulting along the way, including the Virtualization Migration Assessment.
A path to infrastructure modernization
When you migrate VMs from other platforms and run them on Red Hat OpenShift, you can get the most from your existing virtualization investments while taking advantage of cloud-native architectures, streamlined operations and management, and new development approaches.
Manage everything from one platform
OpenShift Virtualization simplifies operations with a single platform for VMs, containers, and serverless workloads. As a result, you can standardize infrastructure deployment and maintain all workloads using a common, consistent set of established, enterprise tools.
Speed up time to production
Streamline infrastructure and application delivery with a platform that supports self-service options and integrations with CI/CD pipelines. With OpenShift Virtualization, developers can build, test, and deploy workloads faster, accelerating time to market.
Migrate with confidence. Modernize with control.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, alongside Red Hat’s trusted products and partner ecosystem, is part of a comprehensive solution to help you migrate virtual machines now and modernize when you’re ready. Together with Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, you can seamlessly automate, migrate, and manage your virtual infrastructure.
How does virtualization work with Red Hat OpenShift?
OpenShift Virtualization is an operator included with any OpenShift subscription. It enables infrastructure architects to create and add virtualized applications to their projects from Operator Hub in the same way they would for a containerized application.
Existing virtual machines can be migrated from other platforms onto the OpenShift application platform through the use of free, intuitive migration tools. The resulting VMs will run alongside containers on the same Red Hat OpenShift nodes.
