Are You Staying on Your Current Hypervisor Because You Really Want To… or Because You Think You Have To?
The reality is: there’s more choice among virtualization vendors than ever. Yet too many customers we meet still initially tell us that they feel stuck with their legacy hypervisors.
Meanwhile, what used to be a stable foundation for your virtual workloads is now becoming a source of escalating costs, unnecessary complexity, and sudden, long-term contractual lock-in demands by your current provider. But here’s the good news: not only do you have fantastic OEM solution alternatives like Red Hat®‘s these days, you also have trusted Red Hat partners like Level Up, who can help you plan for total virtualization migration success from the very start, not just after considerable trial-and-error.
As a Red Hat Premier Partner with deep specialization and a proven track record in Virtualization and Hybrid Cloud, Level Up is helping our customers begin to regain control of their mission critical infrastructure via a customized Red Hat-based Virtualization Migration Assessment (VMA). This dedicated engagement gives you a clear, confident roadmap for migrating off your legacy virtualization platform.
A majority of organizations surveyed note that they are likely to switch to a different hypervisor platform in the next 3 years, with 43% reporting that they are very/extremely likely…

Level Up’s VMA isn’t a Health Check, it’s a Strategy Reset.
Our VMA engagement brings in seasoned Red Hat certified architects to lead targeted workshops with your networking, platform, and security teams. Over the course of these focused sessions, we co-create a forward-looking VM migration plan with you by:
- Mapping your current infrastructure and VM workloads
- Identifying use cases for early wins and pilot candidates
- Understanding your Day 2 needs like automation, DR, and monitoring
- Analyzing existing integrations: storage, networking, clustering, and more
- Documenting your people, processes, and skills so the plan fits your team
The main deliverable? A high-level migration blueprint, a prioritized workload roadmap, and practical tooling recommendations to help you move forward fast, and without disrupting business continuity.
Why Level Up?
We don’t just drop in, hand you a PowerPoint deck telling you a bunch of things you probably already knew about your environment, and then disappear. Instead, Level Up’s expert team brings you instant, validated technical competency, combined with real-world delivery experience, across virtualization, automation, and hybrid cloud platforms. We speak fluent Red Hat. But more importantly, we seek to learn your unique business, your teams, and your hard technical constraints.
Whether you’re moving to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM, or targeting a hybrid deployment, we’re here to make sure your VM migration is smart, secure, and truly ROI-driven.
