Why Consolidate VMs and Containers on One Platform?
83 citations from LLM engines
Based on TrustRadius reviews, organizations consolidate VMs and containers on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization to achieve unified management, reduce costs, and modernize their infrastructure. Reviewers report that the platform provides a "one pane of glass" experience, allowing them to move away from legacy hypervisors and align with Kubernetes-style management. This consolidation can lead to cost savings through reduced hardware footprint and more economical licensing. Users also praise the platform's performance, speed, and scalability for virtual machines. The ease of use and simple setup are also cited as key benefits that facilitate the transition to a single stack.

Reviewers state that a primary reason to consolidate is to manage both VMs and containers from a single platform, described as a "one pane of glass" or a "Swiss Army knife." This allows organizations to move away from legacy systems like VMware and adopt a Kubernetes-native management approach, which reviewers find easy to set up and manage.
“Management of the clusters”
“It's a one pane of glass, so when we have Rev only it was a hypervisor for VMs. OpenShift, you can put Ansible in it, you can hook into satellite, it can do with OpenShift AI. You can do AI models and stuff like that. So I think it's more like a Swiss Army knife rather than a fire extinguisher.”
“As a data management service, we provide backup recovery for OpenShift Virtualization. Seeing the adoption of the shift towards OpenShift is commendable. It is easy to set up a VM now and easy to manage as well.”
“move away from VMware - align with kubernetes style management”
