Migrate all applications to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
Migration from VMware
VMware environments represent the most common starting point for organizations moving to RHOSV, particularly following significant licensing changes in the market. Hystax Acura continuously replicates VMware virtual machines in the background — without requiring agents on source VMs and without impacting running workloads. When you are ready, the final cutover to OpenShift Virtualization completes within a short, planned maintenance window.
Migration from an earlier version of RHOSV
Organizations already running Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization who need to upgrade their environment, consolidate clusters, or move to new hardware can use Hystax Acura to migrate virtual machines live between OpenShift Virtualization deployments. Acura ensures the transition is fully automated, tested, and reversible at every stage — with no production stoppage.
Migration from public and private clouds
Workloads running on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or other private cloud platforms can be migrated to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with the same level of automation. Acura handles the differences in disk formats, network configurations, and metadata between source and target platforms, so your team does not need to manage those translation steps manually.

Why organizations choose Hystax Acura for OpenShift Virtualization migration
Minimal disruption
Production systems remain fully operational throughout the entire replication phase. The only interruption is a short, planned cutover window — typically just a few minutes — scheduled at a time that suits your team.
No per-VM agents for VMware
Hystax Acura deploys a single lightweight OVA replication agent at the ESXi host level, not inside individual guest VMs. Changes are tracked using VMware’s native CBT API, keeping your source VMs completely untouched.
Any source supported
VMware, AWS, MS Azure, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, KVM, Hyper-V, Nutanix, etc., or bare metal. One tool, one process, one target.
Unlimited test runs
Validate the full migration before committing. Test as many times as needed without affecting production or pausing replication.
Application and OS agnostic
Windows, Linux, SAP, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Active Directory, web servers, custom applications — replicated and migrated without reinstallation.
