Life After VMware: VergeIO and MIEL Live
VergeIO is opening its EMEA office, and MIEL, the Paris-based value-added distributor, is bringing VergeOS to the French market. Parag Patel opens with VergeIO's growth plan and why the company is investing in a local team for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Greg Campbell then walks through how VergeOS runs virtualization, storage, networking and data protection in a single code base on standard servers, followed by a live demonstration of day-to-day operations. Rémi Bargoing and Nicolas Czternasty of MIEL join for the Q&A. Built for IT directors, infrastructure architects and systems engineers weighing their options after VMware's licensing changes, and for the resellers and integrators in MIEL's partner network who support them. Registration includes the on-demand recording.

Can You Afford Your Next Storage Refresh?
A decade of falling storage prices reversed in four months, and this is the first refresh cycle in thirty years to price higher than the array it replaces. DRAM contract prices rose 90 to 95 percent in the first quarter of 2026, and NAND flash climbed 70 to 75 percent, with TrendForce projecting more increases through the third quarter and no relief before 2028. George Crump opens with that pricing data and turns it into the three questions IT buyers now have to ask before signing the next quote. Dave Littman of TruthInIT hosts the session, and David Vincent runs the counter-case live on VergeOS, moving a running SQL Server workload between the flash and hard drive tiers in seconds while it keeps serving live traffic under load. Built for infrastructure architects, IT managers, and systems engineers pricing a refresh for 2026 or 2027, or holding an array that reaches its hardware support date in the next two years. Includes the full audience Q&A.

The Software-Defined Answer to Hardware Inflation
A decade of falling storage prices reversed in four months. DRAM contract prices rose more than ninety percent in a single quarter, hard drive production is allocated into 2028, and supply sits at record levels through all of it. Nothing broke. Hyperscalers building AI infrastructure bought the industry's output. Omdia surveyed 400 North American IT professionals with storage responsibility on what they plan to do about it, and Simon Robinson opens this session with those findings. George Crump turns them into three questions to ask any software-defined storage vendor. Then Dave Vincent tests those criteria against a running system rather than a slide, failing a node in a live VergeOS environment and moving a running workload between media types with no maintenance window. Built for infrastructure architects, storage leads, and IT directors holding a renewal date and a quote that expires this quarter. Includes the full audience Q&A and a copy of the Omdia research.

How Saratoga Casino Left VMware, Cisco UCS, and Pure Storage Behind
A corporate partner standardized four casino properties on Cisco UCS blades, mirrored Pure Storage arrays, and VMware, then wound down and handed Scott Bartgis the operating cost. Eleven years later he replaced all three with VergeOS on refurbished servers he chose himself. He gives the whole account on the record: the array maintenance he hated signing for, the renewal that pushed him onto frozen perpetual licenses, the proof of concept he ran on a micro PC, and the four quotes he compared before he signed. Then the platform runs on screen three times. A VMware workload imports into VergeOS in about ten seconds. A SQL VM moves between storage tiers in 1.3 seconds. A running workload live-migrates between nodes at 85,000 rows per second with no drop. Built for infrastructure architects, IT directors, and systems engineers holding a renewal decision and an aging server fleet at the same time. Includes the full audience Q&A.

GPU Virtualization Without the Complexity
Every enterprise is evaluating GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, virtual desktops, and accelerated analytics. The hardware has never been more accessible, and the expertise required to deploy and manage it has never been more specialized. Watch Aaron Richman, George Crump, and NVIDIA's Jimmy Rotella walk through how VergeOS 26.1.3 with vGPU 20 lets IT teams manage GPU pass-through, vGPU profiles, and Multi-Instance GPU partitioning through the same unified interface they use for compute, storage, and networking—with no command-line tools and no GPU specialists required. Includes a live demo of MIG configuration, GPU-accelerated VDI, and AI inference workloads managed from one screen.

Hypervisor Swap or Private Cloud?
The VMware exodus has created two distinct paths forward. Most organizations focus on hypervisor replacement, but that approach misses the larger infrastructure opportunity. Join VergeIO's Field Evangelist, Aaron Richman and CMO George Crump as they examine both paths and reveal why coordination overhead between separate infrastructure components consumes 40-60% of operational capacity—and how platform-level consolidation achieves 30-40% server reduction.
