Hyve Managed Hosting Partners with Red Hat to Accelerate Modernization and Reduce Costs
AUSTIN, Texas – Hyve Managed Hosting, a global provider of fully managed hosting solutions, has announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the leading provider of enterprise open source software. This partnership delivers a modern, fully managed platform built on Red Hat OpenShift, enabling customers to run containerized applications alongside existing virtualized workloads. The solution allows organizations to modernize at their own pace, reduce licensing overhead, and establish an AI-ready infrastructure foundation.
The virtualization market has undergone significant shifts in recent years, prompting many organizations to rethink their infrastructure strategies. Rising cloud costs and the rapid transition of AI from pilot to production have increased the pressure to modernize without disruption or runaway expenses.
Powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform based on Kubernetes, Hyve’s solution supports Kubernetes-based container architecture and virtual machines from a single control plane. This enables organizations to move beyond legacy environments and adopt cloud-native approaches without the cost and disruption of a full replatforming. Licensing is aligned to physical server resources, keeping costs predictable as environments scale. Red Hat OpenShift provides a more secure, consistent foundation across private and hybrid environments, delivering the infrastructure reliability required for moving AI workloads from pilot to production.
Jake Madders, Director and Co-Founder of Hyve Managed Hosting, commented: “Our collaboration with Red Hat is about giving customers a modern foundation that’s easier to move to, cheaper to run, and ready for what comes next. We have been heads-down testing the platform, and the benefits are clear: it’s built for where the market is heading – container-first, automation-led, and increasingly AI-driven. Just as important, it supports the realities of enterprise IT, including virtual machines, so customers can modernize at their own pace while we manage the platform end-to-end.”
Hyve is already supporting customers in adopting new deployments and modernization projects on Red Hat OpenShift. Strong demand is expected from organizations running high-performance digital services, such as e-commerce and data-intensive applications, as well as from businesses exploring AI-enabled services that require scalable computing power and modern orchestration.
Mark Fitzsimmons, Founder and Operations Director at Xigen, said: “In eCommerce, performance and reliability are non-negotiable. Moving from our previous virtualization platform to Red Hat OpenShift with Hyve has delivered the processing speed, uptime, and scalability our operations need, while significantly reducing our operational and licensing overheads. The Hyve team managed the migration end-to-end and has been a great partner at every stage.”
Simon Mead, UKI Ecosystem Lead at Red Hat, added: “We are pleased to collaborate with Hyve Managed Hosting to bring the power of Red Hat OpenShift to customers as a fully managed service. Hyve’s engineering expertise and managed services model together with Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud technologies help organizations modernize their infrastructure, reduce operational overhead, and build a foundation that’s ready for AI workloads in production.”
