IT decision makers and their teams often need a scalable private cloud to support optimizing IT operations as they adopt a foundation for cloud-native development. Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift brings massive scale to Infrastructure-as-a-Service, allowing virtualized and cloud-native workloads to coexist. Managed and deployed through a control plane on Red Hat OpenShift, this platform allows organizations to manage current workloads alongside new, cloud-native applications.
Migration toolkit for Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift
Modernizing your infrastructure does not have to be a disruptive process. The migration toolkit for Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift provides a low-friction path to adoption. Built on robust, production-tested foundations, this toolkit automates the migration process and supports migrating from live virtual machines (VMs). This helps IT teams minimize downtime and disruption while making migrations repeatable and scalable.
You can watch this video to see how simple it is to migrate VMs with the new toolkit. To explore the mechanics of this tool in greater detail, read our deep dive on how it works.
Enterprise-scale live migration with Hystax Acura
To facilitate streamlined migrations, Red Hat users have certified third-party migration tools from trusted partners. Hystax Acura closes the agentless live-migration gap around large-scale moves to Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift.
Hystax Acura provides agentless, incremental live migration at enterprise scale. Incremental replication runs in the background, keeping systems live while data syncs, shrinking the maintenance window significantly. Beyond migration, Hystax Acura offers continuous replication and ransomware detection, providing fast recovery for disaster recovery scenarios.
Several enterprises rely on Hystax Acura for their large-scale transitions:
- One of the global US market leaders in the payroll business: Migrating 9,000 Windows and Linux VMs off VMware and legacy OpenStack onto Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift using an agentless external replication agent.
- A global cybersecurity solutions provider: Moving more than 10,000 VMs in daily waves inside tight maintenance windows.
- A telecommunications operator: A multi-cluster VMware to Red Hat migration, utilizing the same platform for disaster recovery and backup.
By combining the power of Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift with the migration capabilities of partners like Hystax, organizations can confidently transition their legacy VMs to a modern, scalable hybrid cloud environment.
