Cockroach Labs Collaborates with Red Hat on Comprehensive Solution for VM-based Migrations across Hybrid Cloud Environments
The solution enables enterprises to modernize databases and infrastructure on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization—balancing cost, control, and cloud-native innovation NEW YORK, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cockroach Labs, a pioneer and leader of the cloud-native distributed SQL database market with CockroachDB, today announced a strategic collaboration with Red Hat to support CockroachDB on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. This effort offers enterprises a more seamless and cost-effective path to modernize their infrastructure while maintaining control over data—whether on-premises, in hybrid environments, or on the cloud. Organizations running VM-based workloads are facing growing financial and operational pressure due to recent changes in the virtualization market—with rising licensing costs and uncertainty around platform direction. As a result, many are urgently exploring alternatives to cut costs and avoid renewed lock-in. But as they evaluate options, it's becoming clear that replacing infrastructure for mission-critical applications and databases can introduce significant risk and complexity. "Large enterprises grappling with VMware-related cost increases are seeking comprehensive solutions that address their entire on-premises stack," said Allen Terleto, VP of Global Partners and Ecosystem at Cockroach Labs. "This includes virtualization, orchestration, application migration, and database modernization—ideally within a unified and cloud-native architecture. With CockroachDB now deployable on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, customers gain the flexibility to modernize on their terms: choosing which workloads move to the cloud and which remain on-premises—without incurring the complexity and overhead of managing fragmented, siloed architectures." While cloud adoption has advanced, on-premises infrastructure remains essential for highly regulated sectors like financial services, healthcare, and government due to compliance, data sovereignty, and deep operational expertise. For these industries, pursuing an all-in cloud strategy to address VM-based migrations is often impractical due to cost, risk, and operational disruption. Instead, a hybrid approach—combining the reliability of on-premises environments with the agility of the cloud—is proving to be the most effective path. CockroachDB now deploys natively on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enabling distributed scale and resiliency across hybrid cloud environments. This empowers enterprises with a modern, distributed SQL database that evolves alongside their infrastructure. With feature parity to traditional relational databases and automated migration tooling, CockroachDB simplifies the shift from legacy systems not designed for the cloud, reducing both risk and cost compared to conventional lift-and-shift strategies. By leveraging CockroachDB on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, organizations can begin realizing the benefits of a cloud-native database without the need for immediate, large-scale architectural overhauls. This deployment model is already driving value in production environments. "Our team chose CockroachDB deployed on Red Hat OpenShift to orchestrate everything using Kubernetes," said Stephen Boyd, IT Architect, Electrical Training Alliance. "The seamless integration allowed our services to be spun up as needed and closed down when not in use." Together, Cockroach Labs and Red Hat provide a pragmatic and comprehensive path to modernization—enabling enterprises to transition from legacy virtualization platforms with greater confidence, flexibility, and control. "Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization provides an open, flexible, and more cost-effective path for enterprises to migrate and modernize virtual machines while limiting the potential for production disruption," said Sachin Mullick, Director, Product Management, OpenShift Virtualization and Edge, Red Hat. "CockroachDB supported on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization gives customers more choice in how they modernize operations across the hybrid cloud while still helping them maintain required levels of reliability and performance."

Finis Terrae University Chooses Red Hat OpenShift to Modernize Infrastructure and Lay Groundwork for Virtualization Innovation
BOSTON – RED HAT SUMMIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Finis Terrae University, a Chilean educational institution, chose Red Hat to support the migration of its operations from physical servers to virtual machines (VMs) to accelerate IT modernization while preserving existing infrastructure. By implementing Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization as part of Red Hat OpenShift, Finis Terrae University was able to quickly streamline technology operations and optimize resource management through a swift migration process, all while avoiding disruption to important university activities and initiatives. Finis Terrae University, a private, non-profit higher education institution in Providencia - Santiago de Chile, Chile, faced a sudden challenge in 2024, when licensing costs from their existing virtualization vendor's pricing model skyrocketed. This created an urgent need to quickly find a new provider that could migrate their virtual machines in a cost-effective manner, as the university had recently invested in new infrastructure that needed to be preserved. This shift, however, became a turning point for Finis Terrae University's IT strategy and long-term innovation. Rather than compromise service quality or infrastructure integrity, the university's IT team chose to pivot strategically, migrating their virtualization layer to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization enabled Finis Terrae University's IT team to preserve and extend the value of their hardware, integrating it into a future-ready platform capable of running both virtual machines and containers side by side. With the support of Red Hat Consulting, Finis Terrae University completed a full virtual machine migration in weeks without any disruption to educational services, research activities, or end-user applications. University courses, labs, and university systems remained fully operational during the transition. The migration to Red Hat OpenShift immediately yielded enhanced performance for Finis Terrae University, citing noticeably shorter response times, faster and more efficient storage access and decreased CPU usage. Moving to Red Hat OpenShift not only solved a short-term problem, but also created new opportunities for adopting container-based workloads and AI-driven projects. Today, the university is preparing to launch research simulations, virtual reality environments, and data-driven applications that will all be orchestrated on OpenShift. The university envisions deeper integration of Red Hat's technology within its leading virtual reality engineering and video game development programs.
