With flexible storage and integrated virtualization, you may achieve operational simplicity.
In the quickly changing technological world of today, efficiency is hampered by complexity. The difficult task of overseeing complex systems, a variety of workloads, and the need to innovate while maintaining flawless operations falls on IT experts. Dell Technologies and Red Hat have developed robust new capabilities for Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat Openshift Virtualization that are assisting enterprises in streamlining their IT systems.

Openshift Virtualization

Utilize Integrated Virtualization to Simplify and Optimize

Many firms are reevaluating their virtualization strategy as the use of AI and containers picks up speed, along with upheavals in the virtualization industry. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, which offers a contemporary platform for enterprises to operate, deploy, and manage new and current virtual machine workloads together with containers and AI/ML workloads, is now included by default in APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift. Operations are streamlined by having everything managed on a single platform.

Adaptable Infrastructure for All Tasks

Having the appropriate infrastructure to handle your workload needs is essential for a successful virtualization strategy. An increased selection of storage choices is now available with APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift to accommodate any performance demands and preferred footprint. Block storage is needed by the APEX Cloud Platform Foundation Software, which offers all of the interface with Red Hat Openshift Virtualization.

For clients that want a smaller footprint, Dell have added PowerStore and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation to the list of block storage choices available from PowerFlex. In order to avoid making redundant expenditures, customers may use the PowerStore and PowerFlex appliances that are already in place.

Customers may easily connect to any of Their business storage solutions for additional storage to meet their block, file, and object demands. This is particularly crucial for the increasing amount of AI workloads that need PowerScale and ObjectScale’s file and object support.

Support for a range of NVIDIA GPUs and Intel 5th Generation Xeon Processors further increases this versatility and improves performance for your most demanding applications.

Continuity Throughout Your Red Hat OpenShift Estate

Red Hat OpenShift 4.14 and 4.16 support is now available in the APEX Cloud Platform, adding a new degree of uniformity to your Red Hat OpenShift estate along with features like CPU hot plug and the option to choose a single node for live migration to improve OpenShift Virtualization. This lessens the complexity often involved in maintaining numerous software versions, streamlining IT processes for increased productivity.

Red Hat Virtualization

Overview

Red Hat OpenShift includes Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, an integrated platform that gives enterprises a contemporary way to run and manage their virtual machine (VM) workloads, both new and old. The system makes it simple to move and maintain conventional virtual machines to a reliable, dependable, and all-inclusive hybrid cloud application platform.

By using the speed and ease of a cloud-native application platform, OpenShift Virtualization provides a way to modernize infrastructure while maintaining the investments made in virtualization and adhering to contemporary management practices.

What advantages does Red Hat OpenShift virtualization offer?

Simple transfer: The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization that comes with Red Hat Openshift Virtualization makes it easy to move virtual machines (VMs) from different hypervisors. Even VMs can be moved to the cloud. Red Hat Services offers mentor-based advice along the route, including the Virtualization move Assessment, if you need practical assistance with your move.

Reduce the time to manufacture: Simplify application delivery and infrastructure with a platform that facilitates self-service choices and CI/CD pipeline interfaces. Developers may accelerate time to market by building, testing, and deploying workloads more quickly using Red Hat Openshift Virtualization.

Utilize a single platform to handle everything: One platform for virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless applications is provided by OpenShift Virtualization, simplifying operations. As a consequence, you may use a shared, uniform set of well-known corporate tools to manage all workloads and standardize the deployment of infrastructure.

A route towards modernizing infrastructure: Red Hat Openshift Virtualization allows you to operate virtual machines (VMs) that have been migrated from other platforms, allowing you to maximize your virtualization investments while using cloud-native architectures, faster operations and administration, and innovative development methodologies.

How does Red Hat OpenShift virtualization operate?

Included with every OpenShift subscription is Red Hat Openshift Virtualization. The same way they would for a containerized application, it allows infrastructure architects to design and add virtualized apps to their projects using OperatorHub.

With the help of simple, free migration tools, virtual machines already running on other platforms may be moved to the OpenShift application platform. On the same Red Hat OpenShift nodes, the resultant virtual machines will operate alongside containers.

Update your approach to virtualization

Virtualization managers need to adjust as companies adopt containerized systems and embrace digital transformation. Teams may benefit from infrastructure that enables VMs and containers to be managed by the same set of tools, on a single, unified platform, using Red Hat Openshift Virtualization.
