GEC NEWS WIRERed Hat launches an open pathway to digital transformation. Designed to help enterprises cut costs and speed innovation through cloud-native and container-based technologies, Red Hat infrastructure migration solution enables enterprises to break down closed technology silos centered on proprietary virtualization. The solution also provides an enterprise-ready pathway to cloud-native application development via Linux containers, Kubernetes, automation, and other open source technologies.
Joe Fernandes, vice president, Cloud Platforms Products at Red Hat says, “Legacy virtualization infrastructure can serve as a stumbling block to, rather than a catalyst, for IT innovation. From licensing costs to closed vendor ecosystems, these silos can hold organizations back from evolving their operations to better meet customer demand. We’re providing a way for enterprises to leapfrog these legacy deployments and move to an open, flexible, enterprise platform, one that is designed for digital transformation and primed for the ecosystem of cloud-native development, Kubernetes, and automation.”
The Red Hat infrastructure migration solution is designed to help organizations accelerate transformation by more safely migrating and managing workloads to an open source infrastructure platform. A standard migration consists of three phases. In this first phase, Red Hat Consulting will engage with an organization in a complementary Discovery Session to better understand and document the scope of the migration. In the next phase, an open source platform is deployed and operationalized using Red Hat’s hybrid cloud infrastructure and management tooling. In the third phase, IT teams are able to begin migrating workloads at scale. Red Hat Consulting also offers design and implementation assistance to help build and optimize full-production infrastructures, unify and better streamline operations across virtualization pools, and navigate complex migration cases.
Dmitrij Volchek, head of department of system engineering support and communication, Development Bank of the Republic of Belarus says, “We migrated from proprietary virtualization to Red Hat Virtualization for improved performance and costs benefits, and our experience has been a positive one. The migration with Red Hat moved quickly and was simple, and the flexibility has helped us to reduce our total cost of ownership.”
