New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- Hitachi Vantara, a subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., has announced a new collaboration with Red Hat to help organizations modernize their virtualization systems and adopt hybrid cloud environments. The solution combines Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Hitachi Vantara's Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) to provide an integrated option for managing both virtual machines and containers on a single platform.
The partnership aims to address challenges enterprises face from increasing licensing costs and limited flexibility in traditional virtualization systems. By integrating Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with VSP One, the joint solution allows businesses to migrate from older hypervisors to an open-source, hybrid cloud infrastructure. The system includes pre-validated reference architecture and migration tools designed to speed up the move from legacy platforms while maintaining operational continuity.
VSP One offers support for multiple storage types, block, file, and object, across on-premises and cloud environments, giving organizations a unified view of their data. The platform also provides resilience features that allow operations to continue during outages through multi-site failover and active-active data access technology.
A key component of the collaboration is a new reference architecture designed for high availability on Red Hat OpenShift clusters. It supports disaster recovery and workload mobility across different sites, with optional cloud-based components for added resiliency.
Dan McConnell, senior vice president, product management and enterprise infrastructure, Hitachi Vantara, said, "By combining Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Hitachi Vantara's high-performance VSP One infrastructure, we're enabling customers to simplify migration, reduce complexity, and accelerate application delivery on a modern hybrid cloud foundation."
Stefanie Chiras, Ph.D., senior vice president, Partner Ecosystem Success, Red Hat, said, "Red Hat OpenShift is the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes and built on open standards, supporting VM and container portability across on-prem, public cloud, and edge environments."
