Migration assessment: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
Many organizations are experiencing shifts in their virtualization landscape and are being confronted with outdated solutions and rising expenses. Red Hat® Virtualization Migration Assessment is an experience-driven framework that helps you understand, plan, and create a strategic path forward for virtual machine (VM) infrastructure migrations. This engagement, offered by Red Hat Consulting, provides you with a clear roadmap and timeline for migrating your VMs off your traditional virtualization provider.
Experienced Red Hat Architects run a short series of two-hour, on-site workshops with your networking, platform, and security teams to assess the current environment and gather requirements and goals for your desired future state. They will work to understand and analyze both the infrastructure and workload complexities to build a migration plan of high confidence.

Red Hat OpenShift is the clear leader in enterprise Kubernetes. And while the virtualization market leaders can run Kubernetes on their virtualized infrastructure, only Red Hat OpenShift can run our whole virtualization environment within its Kubernetes container platform.
The Red Hat difference
Red Hat Consulting works with Red Hat engineering teams to deliver advanced solutions which provide focused insight into upcoming features and product roadmaps. Red Hat Services is better positioned to align teams, streamline processes, and help enterprise systems and applications work together using open source and proprietary technologies.
As IT leaders make changes to modernize their virtualization infrastructure through containers and Kubernetes, it is imperative that IT professionals are equipped with the skills to succeed using technologies like OpenShift Virtualization. Managing Virtual Machines with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Exam (DO317) builds virtualization skills through training with cloud-based lab time and then validates those skills through Red Hat certification. For a limited time, we are offering 70% off the course and certification bundle to help you get started.
