From VM to European
Container Platform.

David makes sure your migration to reShift succeeds not just technically, but commercially and organisationally too.

• Your single point of contact throughout – from the first cost breakdown to ongoing operations, no hand-off between sales and delivery
• Keeps responsibilities and timelines clear between your team and reShift
• Translates technical migration decisions into business consequences, so budget and business case line up

Aleksandar has already carried out OpenShift and Kubernetes migrations of exactly the kind reShift runs for you, repeatedly, for critical enterprise environments – and knows what matters in practice.

• Has repeatedly moved existing application landscapes to container platforms without downtime, including in the highly regulated banking sector
• Builds the target architecture so your team can administer, monitor and maintain it themselves after the migration – including training and know-how transfer
• Automates recurring operational tasks (scaling, monitoring, patching) from day one instead of bolting them on later
• Combines identity & access management (Keycloak), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and modern CI/CD pipelines into one coherent, maintainable system
• Actively champions data protection and digital sovereignty – the stance behind reShift itself

As Team Lead, Erik heads reShift's DevOps team and is responsible for your migration working end to end, from first assessment to stable operations.

• Takes full technical ownership of your migration – from assessing your existing infrastructure to running it afterwards
• Your first technical point of contact, coordinating the whole reShift team throughout delivery

Burkhard makes sure that on your migration, the new platform runs stable and automated from day one – no manual firefighting.

• Brings environments reliably into production by building highly available Linux clusters and thoughtful monitoring
• Automates recurring tasks with Bash and Chef instead of doing them by hand – fewer failure points, faster response times
• Knows the challenges of a live migration first-hand, including moving existing web servers to nginx without downtime
• Also codes when needed (Python, Java) – can think about application logic and infrastructure together
• Most recently ran production cloud infrastructure and microservices as a Senior DevOps Engineer

Patrick has already made the exact journey your migration will take, more than once – from classic virtualisation to production Kubernetes clusters at scale.

• Knows both sides of the migration from hands-on practice: administers VMware infrastructure as well as modern Kubernetes clusters – can explain the switch to your team from both perspectives
• Has run production Kubernetes environments at scale (around ten clusters, up to 50 nodes) in the highly regulated insurance sector – experience with the demands of critical workloads
• Carries out cluster upgrades using blue/green and surge strategies, so your operations aren't interrupted during migration
• Identifies and fixes security risks independently, rather than only working to a checklist
• Builds CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code so your team can keep developing after the migration on its own

As Lead Architect, Paul designs your migration's target architecture so it holds up not just at go-live, but afterwards too.

• Designs cloud and Kubernetes architectures including network segmentation and security concept – not just "it runs", but "it holds up to requirements"
• Has actively guided multiple teams through their cloud migration, not just built the target environment
• Defines architecture guidelines for grown microservices landscapes (around 100 services) – important if your application landscape has grown over the years
• Builds internal developer portals so your team can provision new environments independently after the migration, instead of depending on reShift for every step

Thomas has already delivered, in production, exactly the scenario most reShift customers bring us: migrating a business-critical application from VMware to a modern Kubernetes platform – without compromising on security or availability.

• Built and operated a Kubernetes platform on vSphere for critical banking applications in payments – a very close precursor to what reShift delivers for you
• Covers security hardening, networking and SRE for the entire infrastructure, not just isolated parts of it
• Builds central backup and GitOps processes so your migration stays traceable and reversible
• Brings FinOps experience from cloud-native projects – helping realise not just technical but also commercial benefits after the migration

Christopher has already built a container platform for business-critical payment applications from the ground up – the blueprint for what reShift implements for you.

• Designs container platforms including network separation and high availability for sensitive, regulated applications
• Builds secret management and internal certificate handling so access control is designed in from the start, not bolted on afterwards
• Has supported cloud migrations across different industries – from finance to education – and knows the specific requirements each brings
• Optimises CI/CD and release pipelines so deployments run faster and more reliably after the migration than before
