Unite VMs and containers on one platform

Optimize your customer’s existing applications, while preparing them for future modernization with Lenovo and Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization.

Do your customers feel the pinch from running virtualized workloads?

With platform costs rising by 2x-3x¹, it’s triggered mass ‘devirtualization’. The pull towards containerized applications is strong, because it allows developers to build cloud-native applications that leverage emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence. However, the process of devirtualization is complicated, complex, and not necessarily the best option for all workloads.

What if we could offer you a different angle?

90% of global organizations will run containerized applications in production by 2027.
