Book my free assessment →You don't have to leave VMware all at once.
The assessment models a full migration and a multi-platform approach against your estate and your renewal date. You choose.
Move off VMware.
Migrate your estate onto OpenShift Virtualization in planned waves, then retire vSphere and its licensing. One platform, one operating model, no renewal to dread.
- ✓Wave-based migration with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization
- ✓VMs and containers side by side
- ✓vSphere decommissioned, licensing retired
- ✓Day-two operations run by us or handed over
Shrink your VMware footprint.
Stand up OpenShift Virtualization beside vSphere and move the workloads where it pays first. License fewer cores at your next renewal and keep VMware only for what still belongs there.
- ✓Workload-by-workload placement — no big-bang cutover
- ✓Fewer licensed cores at renewal
- ✓One GitOps workflow across both platforms
- ✓A clear path to finish the move later — or not
Before you book.
- Do I have to move everything off VMware?
- No. The roadmap covers both paths — a full migration, or running OpenShift Virtualization beside vSphere to shrink your footprint. You pick.
- Who decides if I qualify for the free first year?
- Red Hat. Eligibility and full terms are set by Red Hat's offer terms. We'll help you understand where you stand before you commit.
- What if I don't qualify, or don't sign by the deadline?
- You still get the full assessment and roadmap, at no cost. What you do with it is up to you.
- Can you prove it on our hardware first?
- Yes. A pilot migration of up to 3 VMs onto your target cluster is available as a fixed-fee follow-on — and it's the first step of every migration we run.
- Who does the work?
- Senior Cornerstone engineers who've run OpenShift Virtualization migrations in production — not a junior team working from a template.
Bring us the platform that can't go down.
Moving off VMware, running OpenShift at scale, or putting AI to work in your pipeline — a senior engineer will scope it with you. No sales sequence.
