The Strategic Challenge

In today’s competitive landscape, organizations are looking to modernize their application infrastructure with container orchestration to accelerate development and increase efficiency. However, deploying a secure, highly available, and production-ready container platform like Red Hat OpenShift from scratch is a complex and time-consuming undertaking. It requires deep, specialized expertise to navigate critical architectural decisions, security configurations, and storage integrations correctly.

Without a clear, expert-led path, teams risk facing significant project delays, costly misconfigurations, and an unstable foundation that cannot scale with business needs. The goal for every enterprise is to adopt OpenShift quickly, but it is paramount that it is done right the first time to avoid technical debt and future roadblocks.

The Solution

The Li9 Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Pilot is an expert-led, 2-4 week engagement designed to accelerate your adoption of enterprise-grade container orchestration. Your project will be led by a Li9 OpenShift Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) who will establish a production-ready, best-practices Red Hat OpenShift environment. This engagement provides a robust, customizable foundation upon which you can build a full-scale production deployment with confidence.

Deliverables

Upon completion of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Pilot, you will receive:

• A production-ready Red Hat OpenShift cluster deployed on your infrastructure (private or public cloud) and tailored to your specifications.
• A fully configured cluster designed for resilience, typically spanning at least three availability zones or resiliency groups.
• Integration with a persistent storage solution to safeguard application data and the implementation of essential security features to protect the platform.
• Basic integration with your existing user and group management system to control access.
• A sample containerized application deployed and running on the new cluster to showcase functionality.
• Detailed documentation covering the environment’s architecture, configuration, and security settings.
• In-depth knowledge transfer sessions to ensure your team can effectively manage and operate the OpenShift environment post-engagement.
