How we support IBM Storage Fusion → Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation after migration

  • Fixed-scope project with senior platform engineers.
  • Ceph-based Data migration, OpenShift-native workflows.
  • 40-70% savings vs vendor support renewals.
  • No forced cutover — migrate on your timeline.
  • Post-migration co-managed ODF support available.
  • Proven GPFS-to-Ceph performance tuning expertise.

Complex licensing stack

Dual licensing for Fusion + OpenShift inflates software overhead — simplify to native Red Hat subscriptions.

Performance tuning fears

GPFS tuning is a black art. Our team masters both Spectrum Scale and Ceph — no performance regression.

Disaster recovery dependencies

Existing Metro-DR setups feel risky. We design ODF-native disaster recovery without lock-in.

IBM Storage Fusion → Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation migration — your questions answered

What about high-performance GPFS tuning dependencies?+

We handle GPFS filesystem tuning dependencies during assessment. Our engineers have deep Spectrum Scale and Ceph expertise, so performance profiles are tuned and validated before cutover.

How do you handle IBM Storage Fusion Disaster Recovery (Metro-DR) dependencies?+

Yes, we assess Metro-DR configurations and design equivalent or better availability using ODF native capabilities — no vendor lock-in required.

What is the typical project timeline and budget?+

Typically 2-4 months using 2-3 senior platform engineers. Project budget ranges from $50,000 to $220,000 depending on cluster size and Data volume.

Will I have a coverage gap during the migration?+

No. As long as your vendor contract is active, your legacy platform stays under vendor support. If your renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues — but we never claim it replaces vendor patches or support.
