consumes so many resources in the form of
people and money.
The Red Hat Infrastructure Migration
Solution enables customers to
reduce the complexity and cost of their
current infrastructure so that they can
transform their applications, platforms
and processes to deliver new services to
market faster.
between the existing virtual infrastructure
and KVM-based virtualisation provided
by Red Hat Virtualization or Red Hat
OpenStack Platform.
How does the ‘discovery session’
phase work? The analysis of previous
activities can be complex so how
do you develop a study plan of the
client's structure?
What results have you achieved
through internal tests or actual
migration cases? What are the
improvements achieved regarding
management costs, process
efficiency and automation?
The Red Hat infrastructure Migration
Solution has been used successfully by
customers to successfully migrate over
100,000 virtual machines.
Customers can save up to 50% on
their infrastructure costs and these savings
can be used to develop new container-
based applications. Red Hat’s professional services team has
deep experience in migrating customers
workloads safely and with availability that
meets the needs of the customer. The recently released migration tooling allows
for parallel migrations so that thousands of
virtual machines can be converted quickly.
In many environments, proprietary
virtualisation architectures have
been developed. In this case, how is it
possible to take action using the Red
Hat Infrastructure Migration Solution? For example, Red Hat helped successfully
migrate Intermountain Healthcare, a large
American healthcare provider with more
than 35,000 employees. One customer, for example, reported an
order of magnitude increase in migration
performance when compared to previous
migration tests. n
The Red Hat Infrastructure Migration
Solution provides comprehensive tooling via
Red Hat CloudForms, a cloud management
platform, which allows customers to
discover all of their existing virtual assets
within their existing virtual infrastructure
without agents.
Once discovered, customers can build
migration plans through an easy-to-use
interface. CloudForms then uses Ansible
automation to automate the conversion of
thousands of virtual machines concurrently

The services team’s discovery session is
where Red Hat services works closely with
the customer and this helps the customer to
understand exactly how a migration can be
performed taking into account both business
and technical requirements.
At the end of the discovery session the
customer receives documentation that
explains how the migration could be
performed and the business benefits that
would be realised along with how the business
benefits would help customers accelerate
their Digital Transformation initiatives.
