What we deliver

OpenShift, delivered by one of Red Hat's top partners.

Most firms do Azure or Red Hat. Opticca does both, deeply — which is exactly what enterprises running hybrid platforms need.

The VMware wave

OpenShift Virtualization

A Kubernetes-native home for your virtual machines — and a real path off VMware as licensing costs climb, without rewriting every workload.

Azure + Red Hat

OpenShift on Azure (ARO)

Azure Red Hat OpenShift — jointly engineered by Microsoft and Red Hat. Enterprise Kubernetes with Azure governance underneath.

Ansible Automation

Infrastructure and operational automation at scale — provisioning, configuration, and compliance as code.

Enterprise Linux

RHEL deployment, hardening, and lifecycle management for regulated and high-scale environments.

Platform governance

RBAC, network policy, and secure-by-default cluster configuration — so OpenShift is production-ready, not just running.

Migration & modernization

Moving OpenShift workloads to Azure, or modernizing legacy apps onto a container-native platform.

The VMware question

Rising VMware costs have a Kubernetes-native answer.

The shift in VMware licensing has pushed a lot of organizations to ask whether they should still be paying it. OpenShift Virtualization is the most credible answer for many: it runs your existing virtual machines alongside containers on a single, modern platform — so you can move off VMware on your own timeline, workload by workload, instead of all at once.

It's not a flip-the-switch migration, and we won't pretend it is. Some VMs are easy candidates; others need planning. Opticca assesses your estate, identifies what moves cleanly, and sequences the transition — the same evidence-based, assessment-first approach we bring to every engagement.
