Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Red Hat
“Virtualization solutions are in the bedrock of most private and public cloud environments. As
organizations look to modernize their virtual environments to meet the demands of today’s IT
climate, we have found that no two organizations are at the same point in their virtualization
journey. This causes diversity in the approaches they want to take with the solutions Red Hat
provides. Red Hat needed to change how we were offering our virtualization solution to
accommodate organizations that wanted to use only the Red Hat OpenShift product features
focused on virtualization. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine and Advanced Cluster
Management for Virtualization allow Red Hat to significantly lower the price point of the solution
to meet those users where they are in their modernization efforts.”

Stephen Elliott, group vice president, I&O, Cloud Operations, and DevOps, IDC
"Even as containers grow in adoption, virtualized infrastructure remains one of the backbones of
modern computing for critical applications, driving a multibillion-dollar industry. With many
organizations facing budget constraints, they are looking for streamlined options for managing
virtual machines that reduce complexity and deliver scale, performance and security."
