PILLAR 1 · PLATFORM · VIRTUALIZATION MIGRATION ASSESSMENT
Know your migration cost and timeline before you commit to one
Virtualization licensing has become a budget risk item, not just an IT decision. Boards are asking for a number and a date. Most teams can’t give either without months of internal analysis first. The Virtualization Migration Assessment gets you both, fast.

A costed roadmap onto
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization
LSD Open’s architects run a short, focused engagement with your technical teams to assess your current virtualization environment and build a costed roadmap onto Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. No lengthy discovery contract. No open-ended scope. A clear roadmap, a defined pilot, and a number you can plan around.

Built on the methodology Red Hat uses
We’re accredited as a Red Hat Virtualization Specialised Partner, which means the plan you get is built on the same methodology Red Hat uses, delivered by a team that can then execute it.
THE BUSINESS CASE THIS BUILDS
Four things your board gets out of it
Budget Certainty
A scoped pilot and phased timeline instead of an open-ended migration risk.
Reduced exposure
A documented plan closes the gap between “we know licensing is a problem” and “we have a plan to fix it”.
Faster Time To Value
The assessment feeds directly into delivery through our Migrate VMs solution, so momentum isn’t lost between planning and execution.
A credentialed partner
Red Hat Virtualization Specialised status means this isn’t a first attempt at the platform.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
A roadmap you can take to your board
What it costs, what it takes, and when you’ll be off legacy licensing risk for good. You work with our team of Red Hat-certified experts to assess your virtual machine estate, starting with a discovery session.
01 · We scope the workshops
A defined agenda and participant list up front, so nobody’s diary disappears.
02 · We run the assessment with your technical leads
Your current estate, workload by workload, against the OpenShift Virtualization target.
03 · You get the roadmap, costed and phased
A clear roadmap, a defined pilot, and a number you can plan around.
THEN WE DELIVER IT
From roadmap to migrated VMs
The assessment feeds straight into delivery. LSD Open migrates your virtual machines to a fully managed Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization platform, so momentum isn’t lost between planning and execution.
