The hybrid application platform where VMs, containers and AI live together. And the path to get there, without stopping the business.
Price hikes and uncertainty in virtualization licensing, containers growing, AI demanding a modern platform: three different pushes, one same destination.
Red Hat OpenShift is the hybrid application platform built on Kubernetes: a single workbench to migrate, run and manage traditional and modern workloads, anywhere.
the VMs move with the official toolkits, the apps modernize when it pays off
VMs, containers and AI workloads side by side, with the same tools
a single operational cycle: network, storage, security and observability for everything
no rewrites: they migrate with their disks, their networks and their habits
the same platform and the same tools for network, storage, backup and disaster recovery

The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization makes the migration a repeatable process, not a leap into the void.
discovery of the vSphere environment: VMs, networks, storage and dependencies, with the starting assessment
who migrates first and who later: priorities by risk and dependencies, network and storage mappings ready
warm or cold: replicas while the VMs work, cutovers in short windows, a rollback always planned
tests, tuning and the move into production: wave after wave, with the business always on
The Migration Toolkit for Applications analyzes the code and tells the truth: what's worth containerizing, what to rewrite, what to leave alone.
the toolkit examines the applications and estimates the migration effort: the surprises emerge before, not during
rehost, replatform or refactor: you containerize where it brings value, not on principle
you start from the apps that pay off the most: the rest follows in the next waves, without rush
Modernization isn't a religion: it's a portfolio of decisions, one per application.
repeatable, traced deployments: the environment gets described in code and rebuilt identically
access control, platform policies and team segregation, on the same plane
the platform's metrics, logs and alerts ready from day one, integrable with Instana and our NOC
The migration is an event. Operations are forever: the platform must help you every day.
Modernizing doesn't necessarily mean changing the hardware: bringing the application platform next to the core data cuts latencies, copies and complexity. And the IBM solutions in our lineup, from Concert on down, already run on OpenShift.
YoctoIT lives on IBM Power: designing the OpenShift cluster on Power, or next to it, is the natural bridge between your ERP and the modern platform.
the VMs migrate with the toolkit, the TCO comes back under control: virtualization stops being a worry
the strategic apps move into containers with modern pipelines, the rest keeps running as VMs
the AI workloads and IBM's watsonx platform have OpenShift in the engine: getting there early pays off
You can start from any of the three: the platform is the same and the work done adds up.
automation of the migrations and of day 2: playbooks instead of sleepless nights
the platform's resilience and compliance, with its own deployment on OpenShift
full-stack observability of clusters, VMs and applications, inside our NOC
the enterprise iron where OpenShift runs natively, next to the data that matters
YoctoIT is a company of the Var Group, services division. We do migrations with the method of those who keep other people's systems on for a living: in waves, with rollbacks, without surprises.

“IT that never stops”
An inventory of VMs and applications, dependencies, TCO and the wave plan.
A cluster and a first wave of VMs or an app: everything gets measured, before and after.
Warm migrations, cutovers in short windows, a rollback always ready.
The cluster lives in the YoctoIT Managed Services: patches, capacity and monitoring.
The first wave in production is the best answer to every doubt: small, measured, reversible.
