Red Hat SummitVirtualization Migration Assessment
Many organizations are experiencing shifts in their virtualization landscape and are being confronted with outdated solutions and rising expenses. Red HatⓇ Virtualization Migration Assessment is an experience-driven framework that helps you understand, plan, and create a strategic path forward for virtual machine (VM) infrastructure migrations. This engagement, offered by Red Hat Consulting, provides you with a clear roadmap and timeline for migrating your VMs off your traditional virtualization provider.
Experienced Red Hat Architects run a short series of two-hour, on-site workshops with your networking, platform, and security teams to assess the current environment and gather requirements and goals for your desired future state. They will work to understand and analyze both the infrastructure and workload complexities to build a migration plan of high confidence.
