The Strategic Challenge

As organizations modernize, they face the challenge of managing traditional virtual machine workloads alongside new containerized applications. This often results in separate, siloed infrastructures, leading to increased complexity, operational inefficiency, and slower innovation cycles. IT teams are burdened with managing multiple toolsets, which drains resources and hinders the agility needed to respond to business demands.

The Solution

The Li9 OpenShift Virtualization Pilot is a 2-4 week engagement tailored for organizations seeking a high-availability deployment of OpenShift Virtualization. This service allows you to rapidly evaluate and adopt virtualization capabilities within an enterprise-grade OpenShift environment, leveraging modern container architecture to run virtual machines alongside containers seamlessly.

This pilot provides a robust foundation for consolidating your infrastructure and modernizing your application portfolio by combining Red Hat’s established virtualization expertise with OpenShift’s powerful Kubernetes-based container management platform.

Deliverables

Upon completion of the OpenShift Virtualization Pilot, you will receive:

• A functional, high-availability OpenShift environment with virtualization enabled and configured to your specifications.
• A demonstration showcasing the provisioning and management of virtual machines on the new platform.
• A complete implementation of the platform, configured and managed via the OpenShift Console.
• The migration toolkit will be deployed and configured to demonstrate a clear path for future workload migrations.
• Documentation of your new environment for reference and operational support.
• In-depth training to ensure your team has the skills for effective post-engagement management of the platform.

Beyond the Pilot

Li9 offers comprehensive services to extend your Pilot implementation into a fully realized enterprise production environment, including full VMware to OpenShift migration services, advanced security solutions, centralized monitoring and logging, disaster recovery planning, performance optimization, and ongoing managed services.
