CSX Corp., a major U.S. freight railroad operator, migrated about 80% of its workload to the cloud and is now standardizing on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Portworx for remaining on-premises systems. The platform runs safety-critical Positive Train Control infrastructure where downtime carries severe consequences. The move avoids vendor lock-in after recent virtualization industry acquisitions.
