Proven WebSphere to OpenShift Migration — Fixed Scope
How to migrate IBM WebSphere Application Server to Red Hat OpenShift: we containerize your legacy workloads using OpenShift's migration toolkits, run by senior engineers, on a fixed timeline and budget.
The lowest-cost way off IBM WebSphere Application Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM WebSphere Application Server → Red Hat OpenShift after migration
- ✓Fixed scope, fixed price — no surprises.
- ✓Senior platform engineers lead your migration.
- ✓Manage legacy WebSphere support in parallel.
- ✓Containerize without forced cutover deadlines.
- ✓40-70% savings on post-migration legacy support.
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout the project.
Hardcoded Paths Block Containerization
Hardcoded file system paths in legacy WebSphere applications block containerization. We refactor them so your apps run natively on OpenShift.
Stateful Sessions Built for Legacy Clusters
Stateful sessions rely on proprietary WebSphere clustering. We redesign them for cloud-native patterns before moving to OpenShift.
Custom Binaries Not Container-Friendly
Custom native OS binaries loaded by WebSphere don't fit containers. We containerize every binary so your workloads run cleanly on OpenShift.
IBM WebSphere Application Server → Red Hat OpenShift migration — your questions answered
What happens to my WebSphere support during migration?+
Your legacy WebSphere environment stays under your vendor support contract while it is active. You migrate on your own timeline. If your vendor renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the WebSphere side while you finish the move. This removes renewal pressure so you can containerize at a safe, deliberate pace.
How do you handle hardcoded paths or stateful sessions?+
We fix them. Our engineers identify hardcoded file system references in your WAS configurations, refactor stateful sessions to use cloud-native patterns (like Redis or database-backed sessions), and containerize custom native OS binaries. Every workload gets a containerization path before migration begins.
Is migrating WebSphere to OpenShift proven for my industry?+
Yes. This is a standard, well-understood migration. We use OpenShift's migration toolkits for runtimes like JBoss EAP or Liberty. The typical project runs 6-9 months with 4-6 senior engineers and a fixed budget between $150,000 and $900,000.
Will this save on IBM licensing costs?+
Your existing license spend can consolidate under Red Hat and IBM portfolios. Containerizing WebSphere workloads on OpenShift often reduces per-socket or per-core licensing complexity. We help model the savings during the readiness assessment.
Migrate WebSphere to OpenShift at Your Pace
Beyond the migration, we keep your OpenShift environment running smoothly with managed platform operations, container patching, and Application runtime maintenance. No vendor renewal pressure. No rushed cutover. Just a deliberate, containerized future on Red Hat OpenShift.
