Red Hat has released the general availability (GA) of storage offload migrations in the migration toolkit for virtualization 2.11, included in Red Hat OpenShift. This update allows you to migrate with speed and confidence. Storage offload migrations are now generally available to help you move critical VM workloads quickly with minimal downtime. This feature uses your existing storage systems for smoother migrations. While traditional migrations move data over the IP network, storage offloading transfers this work to the underlying storage array. Bypassing the network eliminates the bandwidth constraints that slow migrations. Internal testing conducted by Hitachi shows that these migrations can run up to 10 times faster than traditional network migrations (actual results may vary by environment).
