CorpFlex reduces infrastructure costs, improves
performance and transforms process efficiency with Red Hat
infrastructure migration solution
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that CorpFlex, a managed service
provider in Brazil, successfully used the Red Hat infrastructure
migration solution to reduce the complexity of its IT
infrastructure and lower costs by 87% through its savings on
licensing fees. Delivered as a set of integrated technologies and
services, including Red Hat Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms,
the Red Hat infrastructure migration solution has provided CorpFlex
with the framework for a complete hybrid cloud solution while
helping the business improve its bottom line.
Founded in 1992, CorpFlex is a Brazilian managed services
provider that delivers customized IT solutions to its customers,
from e-mail services and cloud storage to managed firewalls and
software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WAN). The provider
specializes in tailoring combinations of services to commercial
customers, helping to deliver value to end users that goes beyond
technical capabilities.
As a cloud services provider, CorpFlex was looking for new ways
to drive value for clients through technology-as-a-service options.
To provide more choices, scale and flexibility for its customized
offerings, CorpFlex knew that it had to embrace a hybrid cloud
strategy, spanning on-premise and cloud-based resources, but faced
a roadblock in its costly existing proprietary virtualization
infrastructure. With more than 3,000 virtual machines (VMs)
supporting customer operations, CorpFlex wanted to lower its
operating costs without impacting services and also gain an entry
point to broader hybrid cloud capabilities.
CorpFlex considered its options for an alternative
virtualization solution and ultimately decided on Red Hat
Virtualization. The Red Hat infrastructure migration solution
provided CorpFlex with consulting expertise and supported tools to
effectively migrate with minimal impact and integrate Red Hat’s
open virtualization technology into its operations.
Red Hat Virtualization, built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) project, gives CorpFlex the
ability to virtualize resources, processes and applications with a
stable foundation for a cloud-native and containerized future.
Benefits that CorpFlex has seen from migrating to Red Hat
Virtualization include:
- More affordable virtualization:
Red Hat Virtualization can offer a lower total cost of ownership
year over year when compared to other virtualization solutions
while providing an open solution that avoids vendor lock-in. For
CorpFlex, Red Hat Virtualization resulted in savings of nearly 87
percent per virtual machine. With this reduction in cost, CorpFlex
was able to transfer the budget it previously used for maintenance
to innovation.
- Improved performance: Meeting
customer expectations is critical and CorpFlex found that Red Hat
Virtualization ran with improved efficiency over its legacy
infrastructure. The environment is also better integrated and more
automated, resulting in standardized delivery with fewer errors.
CorpFlex is able to deliver a higher level of availability,
security and management to run customers’ critical systems.
- Enhanced collaboration: With the
long-term goal of moving towards a complete hybrid cloud, CorpFlex
was looking for a partner, not just a vendor, for support in its
journey in open source technology. Leaning on the expertise of Red
Hat Consulting during its migration, the provider is exploring
additional opportunities to drive an open source stack and
technology culture.
- Extended automation: Using Red
Hat CloudForms, CorpFlex’s IT administrators are able to more
easily offer self-service capabilities via a consistent user
experience for provisioning, managing, and compliance across VMs
and private clouds.
By taking this step, CorpFlex has been able to enhance business
growth while maintaining competitive differentiation across its
target markets. CorpFlex is also looking to expand its embrace of
open source technologies and an open source culture internally.

Supporting QuotesJoe Fernandes, vice president, Cloud
Platforms Products at Red Hat"Legacy virtualization infrastructure
can serve as a stumbling block to, rather than a catalyst for, IT
innovation. From licensing costs to closed vendor ecosystems, these
silos can hold organizations back from evolving to better meet
customer demand. We’re pleased to have helped CorpFlex adopt Red
Hat Virtualization through the Red Hat infrastructure migration
solution, providing them a clear entry point to open hybrid cloud
infrastructure and a catalyst for implementing a technology culture
change."
Diogo Santos, CTO, CorpFlex“As our customers begin to digitally
transform, it’s critical that we are able to support them in these
initiatives and not be bogged down by poorly-performing and costly
legacy infrastructure. With Red Hat Virtualization, we’ve not only
seen cost-saving in terms of licensing per virtual machine but
we’ve also been able to enhance our own team’s performance through
Red Hat’s extensive expertise and training. We expect Red Hat
Virtualization to also help us build the foundation for future
solutions, including offering Red Hat OpenShift as-a-service, to
meet our evolving customer needs.”
