Organizations today are under increasing pressure to modernize critical applications while maintaining the reliability, security, and performance of their existing IT investments. Many business-critical workloads, including financial systems and telecommunications services, run on Oracle WebLogic Server. At the same time, organizations are embracing cloud-native platforms like Red Hat OpenShift to gain the agility, scalability, and consistency needed in hybrid and multicloud cloud environments.
Working with the Oracle WebLogic team, Oracle's validation of WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization allows your organization to leverage current investments as you move to fully containerized workloads. In addition, Oracle also supports WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift.
Oracle has validated WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enabling organizations to modernize applications by bridging existing investments with cloud-native environments. This validation, alongside support for WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift, empowers you to consolidate your infrastructure and manage both virtual machines and containers on a unified platform.
Collaboration for greater flexibility
Red Hat's collaboration with Oracle provides the ability to run your existing WebLogic Server workload in a virtual machine (VM) while taking advantage of OpenShift's Kubernetes-based foundation (highlighted in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Container Management for the third year in a row). Organizations can consolidate infrastructure by managing both VMs and containers through a common cloud-native platform. This reduces operational complexity, streamlines management, and accelerates time-to-market for new services.
For IT leaders, this means they can continue to leverage their WebLogic investments without rewriting applications. Development teams gain a pathway to modernize applications gradually, shifting from virtualized workloads to microservices and containers at their own pace. This flexibility is critical in industries where business continuity cannot be compromised.
“The Red Hat and Oracle partnership continues to expand, and the validation of Oracle WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization provides organizations a trusted path to bridge traditional workloads with modern, cloud-native environments,” said Mike Evans, VP of Business Development, Red Hat. “This collaboration enables organizations to innovate at their own pace—consolidating infrastructure, reducing operational complexity, and unlocking the flexibility of hybrid cloud—while knowing they have the backing of two leaders in Red Hat and Oracle.”
The power of a unified platform
Oracle WebLogic Server on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization empowers organizations to modernize with confidence. It bridges the gap between traditional and cloud-native applications, helping organizations solve today’s business challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.
This work aligns with hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, giving organizations the freedom to deploy workloads where it makes the most sense—on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. With Red Hat and Oracle working together, organizations benefit from carrier-grade support .
