As organizations accelerate their cloud transformations, IT teams often find themselves trapped between 2 worlds—managing mission-critical legacy virtual machines (VMs) in isolated silos while simultaneously attempting to build cloud-native applications on modern platforms. This divide creates operational friction, inflates cloud storage costs, and forces teams to maintain duplicate management tools.  

Everpure Cloud is now available on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift to help solve this problem. By combining Microsoft and Red Hat’s fully managed application platform with Everpure’s intelligent data engine, enterprise teams can unlock a faster, more cost-effective way to run modern containerized applications and traditional virtual machines together on Microsoft Azure so you can modernize at your own pace without disrupting core operations.

Key benefits for enterprise teams include:

  • Accelerated delivery: Skip tedious infrastructure setup and get applications to market faster using preconfigured developer tooling, automated CI/CD pipelines, and instant storage provisioning.
  • Streamlined operations: Manage your entire ecosystem, containers, VMs, and underlying storage,directly through the Azure Portal. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is backed by global Site Reliability Engineers and round-the-clock joint support from Microsoft and Red Hat.
  • Dramatic storage and cloud savings: Everpure reduces overprovisioning, and targets up to 40% lower cloud storage costs through thin provisioning and data reduction, while supporting Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) and Azure Hybrid Benefit.
  • Ironclad resilience: Keep critical operations running with immutable snapshots, namespace-level security policies, and Portworx-powered automated disaster recovery that keeps recovery times to an absolute minimum.

Simplified VM migration with OpenShift Virtualization

Moving legacy VMs to the cloud has historically meant painful application rewrites or juggling fragmented operational tools. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift and Everpure Cloud, organizations can migrate their VMs directly into Azure as-is, without rewriting application code. Automated migration frameworks handle the heavy lifting, allowing traditional VMs to sit right alongside cloud-native microservices on the same platform. VM administrators retain their familiar operational practices while gaining access to Everpure’s high-performance storage reduction and continuous data protection, drastically cutting legacy hypervisor licensing costs while establishing a practical foundation for modern cloud and gen AI initiatives.

Join us at Red Hat Summit: Connect 2026
