With the release of the Red Hat Cloud Suite there are a few interesting use cases that we wanted to present that showcase solutions using this product.

The following article and video walks you through one of these use cases.

Red Hat Cloud Suite optimizing IT

Common problems organizations face across both their traditional IT environments (sometimes called mode-1) and new emerging IT environments (sometimes called mode-2) include:

• Accelerating the delivery of services in traditional IT Environments to satisfy customer demands
• Optimizing traditional IT environments to increase efficiency
• Creating new development and operations practices for Emerging IT environment to innovate faster
• Delivering public-cloud like infrastructure that is scalable and programmable

This demonstration shows how Red Hat is helping optimize traditional IT environments. There are many ways in which Red Hat does this, from discovering and right sizing virtual machines to free up space in virtual data centers, to creating a standard operating environment across heterogeneous environments to reduce complexity.

In this demonstration, however, the focus is on how Red Hat enables organizations to migrate workloads to their ideal platform. In the video you’ll see how using tools found in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform in conjunction with automation and orchestration from Red Hat CloudForms it’s possible to migrate virtual machines in an automated fashion from VMware vSphere to either RHEV or Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
