Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization: Bridging Traditional and Modern Workloads

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an integrated feature within the OpenShift platform, designed to enable the seamless management of both VM and containerized applications on a single hybrid cloud application environment. By incorporating virtualization into OpenShift, Red Hat offers a solution that simplifies the migration and management of traditional virtual machines alongside containerized workloads, providing organizations with a flexible, future-ready infrastructure that embraces the best of both traditional and modern technologies.

This virtualization capability is particularly beneficial for enterprises that rely on existing VM investments but are interested in modernizing their infrastructure to align with cloud-native principles. OpenShift Virtualization supports this transformation, empowering organizations to manage their VM and containerized workloads from a consistent, unified interface while taking advantage of OpenShift's robust hybrid cloud capabilities.

Effortless Migration: Bringing Legacy Workloads into a Modern Framework
One of the biggest challenges businesses face in today's fast-paced digital environment is migrating traditional VMs to a modern, flexible infrastructure without risking downtime, data loss, or service interruptions. OpenShift Virtualization includes a Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) that simplifies this process, allowing organizations to transfer their VMs from existing hypervisors-such as VMware, Red Hat Virtualization, or others-directly onto the OpenShift platform. The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization facilitates this process with user-friendly tools and automated workflows, enabling a streamlined transition of VMs onto OpenShift.
