VergeOS oVirt Integration:
Live Demo with Veeam
See a complete VMware-alternative environment with enterprise backup coverage running in production — from zero to fully protected workloads in a single session. Your backup tools already work. We’ll prove it live.

What You Will See in This Session
This is a working demo, not a slide deck. Rick Vanover and Jason Yaeger walk through a complete VergeOS deployment with oVirt-based backup coverage running — start to finish in a single session, with live Q&A at the end.
VergeOS 26.1.2 Environment
Production-style VergeOS with the native oVirt API endpoint active. No pre-configured shortcuts.
Backup Platform via oVirt Driver
Live connection of Veeam to VergeOS through the standard oVirt KVM driver. Zero custom code.
Workload Discovery & Policy Application
VergeOS VMs discovered through the oVirt API. Existing Veeam policies applied immediately.
Granular and Environment-Scale Recovery
File-level restore from Veeam. VDC-scale recovery from VergeOS. Both layers demonstrated.
Q3 2026 GUI Integration Preview
Overview of the native Veeam UI integration targeted for Q3 2026 — and why today’s integration is fully production-ready.
Open Questions with Rick and Jason
Direct questions on architecture, deployment, licensing, migration timelines, and more.
Built for IT Teams in Active VMware Evaluation
This session is for infrastructure architects, IT managers, and systems engineers who are evaluating VMware alternatives and need to understand what happens to their existing data protection stack.
If your organization runs Veeam and you are under pressure to reduce VMware licensing costs, this session answers the most common question in every evaluation: will Veeam still work? The answer is yes. We will show you exactly how.
The Private Cloud OS Built for the VMware Exit
VergeOS consolidates compute, storage, networking, and security into a single software layer that runs on standard x86 hardware. VergeOS 26.1.2 implements the oVirt API natively, connecting enterprise backup platforms through a standard, unmodified driver — no custom integration, no professional services, no waiting.
The Backup Standard That Already Supports VergeOS
Veeam made a deliberate architectural decision to support KVM-based platforms through its oVirt driver. That decision means Veeam already works with VergeOS today — existing policies, schedules, and recovery workflows carry forward intact. For organizations with Veeam as their backup standard, VergeOS is the VMware alternative that removes the data protection barrier entirely.
