Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is becoming an increasingly common choice for organizations that want to run virtual machines (VMs) alongside containerized workloads within a unified Kubernetes-based platform. As adoption grows, so does the need for consistent, reliable tooling for workload mobility, data protection, and recovery in these environments.
Hystax Acura now supports Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, extending its migration, disaster recovery, and backup capabilities to Red Hat OpenShift-based infrastructure, and is also represented in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.
Migrating virtual machines into Red Hat OpenShift environments
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization provides a practical path for organizations modernizing traditional VM workloads without requiring immediate re-architecture. For many teams, it serves as a bridge between legacy hypervisor environments and cloud-native infrastructure.
Hystax Acura enables organizations to migrate VMs to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with minimal disruption – supporting both targeted workload migrations and large-scale programs. The platform automates replication, infrastructure mapping, and cutover, reducing the manual overhead typically associated with VM migration at scale.
Disaster recovery and backup for Red Hat OpenShift-hosted workloads
Alongside migration, Hystax Acura provides disaster recovery and backup capabilities for VMs running in Red Hat OpenShift environments. Organizations can define recovery objectives aligned with their RTO and RPO requirements and rely on automated orchestration to execute recovery processes without manual intervention.
Backup capabilities are optimized for distributed infrastructure, supporting the data protection requirements of hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, where Red Hat OpenShift is increasingly used.
Consistent operations across a hybrid infrastructure
One of the more persistent challenges in hybrid environments is operational fragmentation – different tools, processes, and recovery approaches across the layers of the infrastructure stack. As Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is frequently deployed alongside public cloud environments and traditional virtualization platforms, the ability to apply consistent operational practices across all of them becomes important.
Hystax Acura provides a unified framework for migration, disaster recovery, and backup that works across virtualized and cloud-native environments – reducing the number of tools and processes IT teams need to manage.
“Platforms like Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization are becoming central to how organizations modernize virtual machine workloads within Kubernetes environments. By supporting this capability, we provide a consistent way to migrate, protect, and recover workloads across hybrid infrastructures without adding complexity.”
