#ObjectStorage is the new backend. But it's missing something. @VMblog sat down with @JuicedataInc during The @ITPressTour to find out why a real file system on top of S3 still matters — especially for #AI workloads. Spoiler: Amazon noticed too. Here's how #JuiceFS stacks up against #AWSS3Files. vmblog.com/bylines/juicefs-a… #DataCenter #CloudStorage #ITPT

"The cloud didn't eat the data center." @ExaGrid CEO Bill Andrews makes the case at the @ITPressTour: 3 of their top 500 customers left for #cloud in 10 years, and repatriation is climbing.

.@KeeperSecurity announced the availability of Keeper Universal Secrets Sync. The new capability within #KeeperPAM automatically distributes credentials and secrets to external secrets managers and #cloud platforms the moment they rotate, closing the gap between stored secrets and what's actually running in production. vmblog.com/news/keeper-secur…

If you're sitting on a library of App Volumes packages, you don't have to start from scratch. Converting them to FlexApp takes minutes, not days. Here's what the process actually looks like: attach the VHD, select your app, click convert. FlexApp replays the application, captures it, and writes the new package. That's it. What you gain on the other side is worth it. Scripts. Dependencies. Predictive block caching. Metadata editing. Package merging. Things App Volumes simply doesn't support. We put together a quick walkthrough showing the full conversion of Google Chrome, start to finish. If you're evaluating a move away from App Volumes, this is a good place to start.

The man who helped build VMware's #multicloud strategy just joined the board of a company replacing it. Former #VMware CTO Kit Colbert sat down with @VMblog to explain why, and the answer comes down to one thing: architecture. "The era of the stack is over." 🔗 vmblog.com/qa/the-next-archi… #PrivateCloud #Infrastructure #VergeIO @VergeUCI

Your #VMwareMigration isn't stalling because your team isn't working hard enough. It's stalling because #Ansible & #Terraform weren't built for #baremetal. @rackngo CEO Rob Hirschfeld explains what actually fixes it in this @VMblog video QA.👇 vmblog.com/video/why-ansible… #VMware #BareMetalAutomation

Most enterprises launch mission-critical transformations on hope instead of evidence, and pay for it with support ticket surges, shadow processes & lost ROI. Khadim Batti of @whatfix makes the case for a simulation-first strategy to actually prove readiness before go-live. vmblog.com/bylines/companies… #DigitalTransformation #ChangeManagement #AI #EnterpriseIT #DAP #FutureOfWork

The #CDN industry is still running on a 1990s playbook — and outages are costing billions. @VMblog sat down with @io_river_ during the @ITPressTour this week in Boston to find out how their "Virtual Edge" approach lets you run #multiCDN without the complexity headache. Zero servers. Five nines. One control plane. vmblog.com/bylines/multi-cdn… #EdgeComputing #CloudInfrastructure #VMblog #ITPT

Most VMware admins measure how well a platform runs workloads. But how many resources does your platform consume before the first workload even deploys? That hidden overhead could be costing you more than you think. 👇 📖 Read: "The Hidden Tax Most VMware Administrators Never Measure" by @VergeUCI's George Crump vmblog.com/bylines/the-hidde… #Infrastructure #Virtualization #VergeIO

#AI risk isn't just about prompt filtering. Enterprises face a much wider exposure — and most prioritization methods weren't built for it. Yakir Golan of @kovrrIns breaks down why AI Risk Quantification (AIRQ) is the key to defensible #security decisions in 2026. vmblog.com/bylines/how-organ… #CyberSecurity #AIRisk #GRC

Every VMware alternative claims to be integrated. Three architectures hide behind that word, and only one removes the complexity instead of moving it. What "integrated" really means when you leave VMware: verge.io/blog/vmwareexit/the… #VMware #VergeOS #vmwareexit #vmwarealternative

Namecheap — the world's second-largest domain registrar — needed to move beyond bare-metal servers with local storage. Noisy neighbors, hardware failures, single points of failure, and downtime during upgrades were all holding them back. They moved to StorPool's highly-available shared hosting design. The results: ✅ 20% more servers deployed per rack ✅ 60% more applications per HCI cluster ✅ Hyperscaler-like operations and efficiency at hosting-provider scale ""We chose the StorPool solution, providing high performance combined with impressive fault tolerance and data availability rates."" — Max Semenyaka, Technical Operations Manager, Namecheap 👉 hubs.ly/Q04jxrHR0 #CaseStudy #Namecheap #StorPool #HCI #CloudInfrastructure #SharedHosting #DataStorage

Think your mobile apps are secure by default? Modern threat actors are actively abusing legitimate mobile features like biometrics, GPS, and NFC to execute devastating fraud. Read our latest blog to learn how to stop their efforts. Read more: hubs.la/Q04kGQjR0

Your data platform shouldn't start with a copy. For many organizations, critical data must stay where it is. The Everpure OpenSharing Connector enables Databricks users to access Iceberg and Delta tables on Everpure object storage directly. No replication. No duplicate copies. Just governed access to on-premises data through OpenSharing and Unity Catalog. 👉 Explore how organizations are enabling direct access without replication: purefla.sh/4g9jKyP #Everpure #EnterpriseDataCloud #StoragePlatform #StorageAndDataManagement #Databricks #DataGovernance #OpenSharing

Running applications side-by-side without conflicts used to mean more complexity, more risk, and more compromise. FlexApp Sandbox Isolation changes that. ProfileUnity and FlexApp v6.9.5 is now generally available, and the headline feature gives IT teams a way to isolate applications from the OS and from each other, without cutting off access to printers, storage, or clipboard. Running two versions of the same app. Cleaning up remaining App-V edge cases. Supporting local AI workloads that need a cleaner runtime boundary. Sandbox Isolation was built for exactly these scenarios. The blog has the full breakdown: buff.ly/4Kp4hUh What application delivery challenge is your team still working around? We'd love to hear it. #Liquidware #ProfileUnity #FlexApp #SandboxIsolation

Your #AI stack has a costly crack in its foundation — the gap between POSIX-hungry workloads and cheap #objectstorage. Paradigm4's flexFS closes it. One biopharma customer saved $3.13M over 43 months vs. AWS alternatives. Their $110K/mo flexFS S3 bill is now less than EFS alone would cost. The more you store, the cheaper it gets. vmblog.com/bylines/paradigm4… #ITPT @ITPressTour #flexFS

🚨 #EnterpriseAI is leaving the #publiccloud. Production AI inference dropped from 56% → 41% in public cloud in just ONE year. @VMblog sat down with @Broadcom's Prashanth Shenoy to unpack the Private Cloud Outlook 2026 findings. Cost, control & sovereignty are reshaping everything. 🔗 vmblog.com/qa/the-ai-tipping… #AI #PrivateCloud #VMware #Broadcom @VMware

83% of manufacturing execs say they're building strong #AI data foundations. 76% still cite unreliable data as a top AI risk. The gap? Standardization. Solvace CTO Alex Housley breaks down the 3 dimensions every manufacturer must fix before AI can scale. ↓ vmblog.com/bylines/three-dim… #Manufacturing #DigitalTransformation #IIoT

What if the future of archival #storage was invented in 1891? Standing Wave Storage uses 19th-century Nobel Prize-winning photographic chemistry — repurposed to store digital data in light, with zero energy at rest and zero migration, ever. Survived 9 months bolted to the ISS. No measurable degradation. vmblog.com/bylines/frozen-li… @ITPressTour #ITPT #ArchivalStorage #DataCenter #Archival #Innovation #ITInfrastructure #StorageTech
