Overview

Deploy, migrate, and protect VMs with a partner solution

Backup and disaster recovery partners

Backup and disaster recovery workflow. The text below provides a detailed explanation of the process.

Comprehensive VM and application protection

Backup and restore partners provide backup and recovery capabilities at multiple levels, including the full VM, application, and at the file-level.

Flexible backup and recovery destinations

Data can be backed up and restored to original or alternate clusters, namespaces, or cloud environments (using any kind of S3 or blob storage), supporting disaster recovery and migration scenarios.

Enhanced data security

Partner solutions often include encryption, access controls, and compliance features to help protect sensitive data against ransomware and other threats and to meet regulatory requirements.

Centralized management and automation

Many partner solutions offer intuitive, centralized dashboards for managing backup policies, scheduling automated backups, and monitoring data protection status.

Storage partners

Storage and data persistence workflow. The text below provides detailed explanations for how data and storage resources are presented, provisioned, and persisted.

Data storage

Red Hat OpenShift allows underlying storage (physical volumes) to be presented to VMs as Kubernetes persistent volumes, which are provisioned storage resources in the cluster. The container storage interface (CSI) provides the API to configure and manage these physical volumes, and the storage partners deliver their drivers. Data can be mutually stored on the storage cluster—running a partner storage solution—and in the Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

Data persistence

Storage partners provide solutions to persist data in VMs. Because the VMs are just another Red Hat OpenShift resource in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, they will need to access storage as Red Hat OpenShift resources, provisioned as persistent volumes.

Networking partners

Network segmentation

Networking partners enhance Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization capabilities to create isolated network segments, supporting multitenancy (Project A and Project B) and compliance requirements. Subnet A and B are networks inside each tenant that connect the VMs.

Centralized control

Partners provide robust network management tools, enabling centralized configuration and monitoring of network policies and segmentation across VMs and containers.

Scalable networking

Networking partners offer high-performance solutions that scale as the Red Hat OpenShift environment grows, ensuring consistent throughput and low latency for critical workloads.

Enhanced security

Partners offer advanced security features, including network policy enforcement, intrusion detection, and compliance monitoring, to protect both VMs and container workloads.
