Legacy hypervisors were built for a world before containers, AI, and cloud operating models. This IDC Spotlight breaks down the platform shift — and how Red Hat OpenShift + Portworx are delivering enterprise-grade virtualization without the lock-in.
What you’ll learn:
- The real cost equation — license fees are just the surface. IDC breaks down the hidden costs: storage retooling, management complexity, training curves, and migration risk.
- KubeVirt as the control plane for VMs — open source, no vendor lock-in, backed by a massive community. IDC assesses the technical maturity and where gaps remain.
- Portworx: the data layer that makes it work — consistent storage across multicloud, live migration support, thin provisioning, encryption, and DR — all native to Kubernetes.
- Where enterprises are actually landing — IDC’s three migration archetypes and what drives each decision. Match your org to the right approach.
