What happens when a #virtualization project stalls? @rackngo's CEO shares how fixing the #baremetal layer changed everything for one fast-growing company replacing its virtualization stack with #OpenShift. 🚀 The turning point? Executive buy-in to hit the brakes, rethink the approach, and build on a solid bare metal foundation. Now that same company is applying the pattern to its Rancher infrastructure.

As part of the research into selecting a VMware alternative, IT must consider the new platform’s ability to move the organization off the old one. Before comparing migration capabilities, though, IT should establish best practices for the move, then see which potential VMware replacement helps it meet them. Each of the seven practices in this article doubles as a test for the migration function of any platform on your short list. vmblog.com/bylines/vmware-mi…

A GPU slice and a full #GPU both count as "1 device" in your quota. Is that fair? #Kubernetes 1.37 standardizes how devices get allocated. It doesn’t settle quota, tenant isolation, fair share, or chargeback. Those are still your call.

For a large share of businesses, 2027 is the year their phone system moves to IP whether they planned it or not. That migration is overdue, and on paper it is good news. In practice, how a business moves matters more than the fact that it moves. Here is where Michael Pinchas of Telecom Experts expects the market to go. vmblog.com/prediction/2027-p… #predictions #2027predictions #telecom

.@KeeperSecurity, the leading #zerotrust and zero-knowledge #identity #security platform, announces native integrations with @TenableSecurity that eliminate the costly delay between identifying #cloud security risks and remediating them while centralizing credential management for comprehensive vulnerability assessment. vmblog.com/news/keeper-secur…

Backups are table stakes. In 2027, the question is: how fast can you restore? Harish Shenoy of @Databricks predicts 3 shifts in database DR, from restore time becoming a headline metric to restore testing living in CI/CD.

#Flink on #Kubernetes is easy for one job. Dozens? Different story. Michael Sparre of @grepr_ai shares 4 practices for running stateful streaming at scale: → Wrap the operator in a control layer → Make every change a safe restart → Scale on busy time, not CPU → Size resources for how jobs scale vmblog.com/bylines/so-you-pu… #DataEngineering #CloudNative

Most #enterpriseAI projects don't fail at the pilot. They fail on the way to production. 🚨 At the 70th @ITPressTour, @Hammerspace_Inc made the case that #AI isn't GPU-constrained, it's data-constrained. Their fix: stop copying data and put the NVMe you already own to work.👇 vmblog.com/bylines/70th-it-p… #DataStorage #GPUs #HPC #ITPT

2027 #Predictions: AI Safety Tests Will Have to Survive an Argument Mark Johnson, Founder, Rowset bets on the type of tests people will be running in 2027, and where he thinks #AI evaluation is headed. "AI keeps getting better at the first answer. In 2027, I think we'll finally start grading the conversation that comes after it." vmblog.com/prediction/2027-p… #2027predictions #prediction

In this latest @VMblog article, Manas Sharma at @OpenObserve explores how #OpenTelemetry Collector rules took one #Kubernetes estate from 202,000 metric names to 19,400, and what changes in your PromQL and alerts. vmblog.com/bylines/your-k8s-… #K8s #KubeCon

By the end of 2027, #AIagents won't just work in browser tabs. They'll call businesses, navigate phone trees, wait on hold, and come back with proof it's done. 📞 Nicholas Khami of call4me shares #predictions on why the phone becomes part of the agent toolkit. vmblog.com/prediction/predic… #2027Predictions #VMblog @skeptrune

.@DDNintelligence told the @ITPressTour its bookings are heading past 3x. The pitch? "We don't make GPUs faster. We make them work, profitably." Inside: the data bottleneck, Infinia's 4.2x faster time to first token, and why inference is taking over. vmblog.com/bylines/ddn-says-… #AI #GPU #Inference #DDN #ITPT

For most of the past decade, the infrastructure question has been framed as a choice: stay in the public cloud or leave it. That framing is breaking down. The companies making the best decisions today are looking hard at which part of their usage runs every hour of every day, and asking whether they are paying cloud prices for capacity they could rent or own for less. In 2027, several forces arrive at once to put that question on more agendas: a hard deadline in European law, a power market with almost nothing left to lease, a memory shortage, and a steady run of #VMware renewals. Here is where James Mercer of Metro Colo Advisory expects it to go. vmblog.com/prediction/2027-t… #predictions #prediction #cloud #publiccloud

#VergeIO announced the immediate availability of #VergeOS 26.2. VergeIO customers use VergeOS to exit VMware, fight data center inflation, support distributed data centers, and prepare their infrastructure and their organization for private AI, eliminating per-token costs.

A VMware veteran as CEO. A former VMware CTO on the board. One OS that runs "ugly clusters" and #privateAI on two $600 GPUs. #VergeIO's briefing at the 70th @ITPressTour will make you take notice!👀 Read @VMblog's coverage: vmblog.com/bylines/vergeio-b… #VergeOS @VergeUCI #ITPT

“AI-powered” identity security promised relief from alert fatigue. But what most vendors have shipped is behavioral analytics, or models that rank a sign-in’s risk. That ranking work stops well short of resolving the case.

.@ScaleFlux spent 12 years building for the #AI memory crunch. At the 70th edition of the @ITPressTour in Palo Alto, it showed PCIe 6.0 SSD and CXL 3.2 silicon, a chip-plus-solution model, and a few teasers. 👀 Read more: vmblog.com/bylines/scaleflux… #CXL #SSD #DataCenter #ITPT

Organizations have begun making #passkeys the default login method for consumers and enterprises. However, as authentication methods evolve, passkeys alone don’t mitigate all #security risks and shouldn’t be mistaken for a complete identity security strategy. The challenge is no longer simply eliminating passwords. It’s verifying that every method used to establish or restore trust meets the same security standard as the primary login experience.

.@1111systems announced it has completed the acquisition of select IBM VMware Cloud Service Provider enterprise customers.

Very cool! @hycuinc announced the GA of HYCU aiR Graph, a free solution that discovers the #AIagents operating across an organization’s applications, shows which workloads each agent can reach and who can invoke it, and identifies which of those applications lack independent backup. vmblog.com/news/hycu-makes-a… #AI #HYCU
