1/21/25, 11:02 AM Red Hat unveils Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine
remain a critical tool in IT infrastructure. However, with the virtualization market experiencing significant
changes in recent years, many organizations face uncertainty and rising costs when it comes to
managing their virtualization infrastructure.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine delivers a cost-efficient virtualization-only solution for

deploying, managing and scaling virtual machines.

Redefined virtualization through a streamlined approach

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine helps maximize the value of these investments by entitling only

essential OpenShift features and components required for virtualization, delivering simplified operations
and improved efficiency. Powered by Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and the KVM hypervisor used
across the enterprise datacenter and cloud, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine is able to run on
on-premises hardware that supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and on supported bare metal cloud
services including AWS bare metal instances. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine scales to meet

workload demands while providing built-in security capabilities and more consistent performance across
the hybrid cloud.

To ease migration efforts, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine includes access to Red Hat’s intuitive
migration tool - the migration toolkit for virtualization - that assists organizations in transitioning from

other virtualization platforms, simplifying the migration workflow and helping to reduce downtime while
driving greater operational continuity. Red Hat also offers a Virtualization Migration Assessment, an
interactive workshop with Red Hat experts that will assess an organization’s business drivers, current
state and the path to low risk VM migration. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine

integrates with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform enabling IT teams to automate VM migrations at
scale, along with day-to-day VM management tasks. With Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform,
organizations can automate and orchestrate across their virtualized environments and other areas of IT
for more efficient, resilient and consistent operations at scale.

Additionally, the Red Hat partner ecosystem is well-positioned to support Red Hat OpenShift
Virtualization Engine with capabilities like storage solutions, extensive backup and disaster recovery
options and networking tools to streamline deployments and scale to modern IT needs.

To unify virtual machine management at scale and limit sprawl, Red Hat is also introducing Red Hat
Advanced Cluster Management for Virtualization. This new edition of Red Hat Advanced Cluster

Management for Kubernetes provides focused access to Advanced Cluster Management’s existing
features designed to centralize VM lifecycle management and streamline tasks such as VM
provisioning, monitoring and day-to-day compliance, while maintaining greater consistency across an
organization’s virtualized estate.
