OVERVIEW
Many organizations are rethinking their virtualization strategy — but a full replatform isn’t always realistic. How do you modernize without disruption?
Join Red Hat, Everpure and Cisco to explore a pragmatic approach to VM modernization using OpenShift Virtualization on FlashStack. This session demonstrates how enterprises can run virtual machines and containers side by side on a unified Kubernetes platform, enabling phased migration and application modernization — without sacrificing performance, availability, or operational control.
Discover the combined power of FlashStack, Cisco Intersight, and Portworx Enterprise to present to your customers. FlashStack provides the validated, high-performance infrastructure foundation. Cisco Intersight simplifies both lifecycle and infrastructure management. Finally, Portworx Enterprise ensures persistent storage, data protection, and disaster recovery for both VM and containerized workloads.
Whether your customers are evaluating hypervisor alternatives, consolidating infrastructure, or planning long-term cloud-native transformation, this session outlines how you recommend a low-risk path from traditional VMs to modern Kubernetes operations.
The webinar will cover:
- The Virtualization Crossroads
- Introducing OpenShift Virtualization
- Infrastructure Foundation: FlashStack for Modern Workload
- Data Services for VMs and Containers
- Unified Lifecycle & Operations
- Migration Pathways & Real-World Scenarios
