Red Hat OpenShift Consulting
Run VMs, containers, and AI on one OpenShift platform
XTIVIA plans, builds, and runs enterprise OpenShift, from VMware exits and app modernization to production AI, across your data center, public cloud, and edge.
The platform
Every workload, one platform
Stop running services as silos. OpenShift gives every workload the same orchestration, security, and lifecycle: autoscaling, automated failover and recovery, and full visibility across the enterprise.
Containers and VMs, together
VMs and containers share one cluster, network, and toolchain, so you modernize at your own pace.
Hybrid by design
The same platform from your data center to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and the edge.
Secure build to runtime
Image signing, vulnerability scanning, and runtime policy built into the platform.
Ready for AI
GPU scheduling, model serving, and MLOps on the same platform as your apps.
Services
Where we plug in
A fixed-scope assessment, a greenfield build, a migration, or an embedded team. Pick the support that fits where your platform is today.
Architecture & Assessment
Find bottlenecks, single points of failure, and upgrade risk before they cripple your platform.
Platform Plus Implementation
OpenShift Platform Plus installed production-ready on bare metal, vSphere, or public cloud.
OpenShift Virtualization
Run and migrate VMs beside containers on one platform without refactoring a workload.
App Modernization
Rehost, replatform, or refactor legacy Java and .NET apps into cloud-native services.
Multicluster Management
Govern every cluster, policy, and application from one control plane with Advanced Cluster Management.
OpenShift AI & MLOps
Train, tune, serve, and monitor predictive and generative models on GPUs you control.
Serverless, Mesh & Edge
Knative scale-to-zero, Istio-based traffic control, and single-node clusters at the far edge.
Managed Services 24×7
Upgrades, patching, monitoring, and capacity tuning by our engineers, around the clock.

VMware to OpenShift Virtualization
Leave VMware without a rewrite
Rising virtualization costs don't have to force a rewrite. OpenShift Virtualization runs your existing VMs on KVM, alongside containers, so you can leave VMware now and modernize later.
Discover & plan
Inventory VMs, dependencies, and licensing exposure, then group workloads into migration waves.
Build the landing zone
Size clusters, storage, and networking for VM density on OpenShift Virtualization.
Migrate in waves
Move VMs with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization, using warm migration where downtime matters.
Modernize on your schedule
Containerize the VMs worth refactoring. The rest keep running, supported, on the same platform.

AI on OpenShift
From pilot to production AI
Generative and agentic AI need the same things your apps do: a secure platform, governed data, and GPUs you control. We build that foundation on OpenShift, then put models into production on it.
Red Hat OpenShift AI
One MLOps platform to build, train, fine-tune, serve, and monitor predictive and generative models.
Scalable LLM inference
Serve models efficiently with vLLM-based Red Hat AI Inference Server and distributed llm-d.
Agentic AI workloads
Deploy agents with Llama Stack and Model Context Protocol, connected to your data and tools under governance.
OpenShift Lightspeed
A generative AI assistant in the console that helps admins troubleshoot, configure, and operate clusters.
GPU as a service
Share and schedule NVIDIA and AMD accelerators across teams so expensive GPUs stay busy.
Trusted, governed AI
Model registry, guardrails, and drift monitoring, with data that never leaves your control.
Signature offering
Platform engineering & managed OpenShift
Give developers golden paths and give operations one platform to run. We build the internal developer platform on OpenShift, then operate it with you or for you.
- 01
Assess & architect
Review the current estate for bottlenecks and single points of failure, then design the target platform and cluster topology.
- 02
Build golden paths
Self-service templates in Red Hat Developer Hub, backed by OpenShift GitOps and Pipelines, so every team ships the same proven way.
- 03
Secure the supply chain
Advanced Cluster Security, signed images, and policy as code from commit to runtime.
- 04
Operate across clusters
Advanced Cluster Management for fleet-wide policy, upgrades, and observability across data center, cloud, and edge.
- 05
Run it 24×7
Managed upgrades, patching, capacity tuning, and incident response by XTIVIA engineers, with Lightspeed-assisted operations.

End-to-end skills
Architecture, DevOps, development, and managed support from one accountable team.
Transparent delivery
Agile sprints, visible progress, and no surprises in scope or cost.
Here after go-live
We stay on, running and improving the platform beside your team.
FAQ
OpenShift questions we hear most
Straight answers to the questions that come up in nearly every first conversation.
What is Red Hat OpenShift?
An enterprise application platform built on Kubernetes. It runs containers, virtual machines, and AI models with consistent security and operations across on-premises, public cloud, and edge.
How is OpenShift different from upstream Kubernetes?
OpenShift packages Kubernetes with an immutable OS, operators, CI/CD, a registry, security, and a supported lifecycle, so you run a platform instead of assembling one.
Can we move off VMware without refactoring?
Yes. OpenShift Virtualization runs existing VMs alongside containers, and the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization moves them in waves. Refactor later, only where it pays off.
Does OpenShift support generative and agentic AI?
Yes. Red Hat OpenShift AI covers training, fine-tuning, and serving, vLLM-based inference scales LLMs, and Llama Stack and MCP support agentic workloads on governed infrastructure.
Self-managed or a managed cloud service?
It depends on your skills, compliance, and cost model. We compare self-managed OpenShift with ROSA on AWS and Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and recommend the right fit.
What does an XTIVIA platform assessment cover?
Architecture, bottlenecks, single points of failure, security posture, upgrade path, and cost, delivered as a prioritized plan your team can act on.
