What’s New with the Technical Virtualization Landscape and Everpure

This week we sit down with technical experts Alex Carver and Matt Webb to break down the rapidly evolving virtualization landscape. The conversation explores the shifting dynamics of the industry, focusing on key platforms like VMware Cloud Foundation, Nutanix, Azure Local, and Hyper-V.

We also dive deep into the technical partnerships driving innovation across the industry. The guests share insights on how Everpure is integrating with modern platforms like Red Hat OpenShift and Nutanix to provide seamless, API driven experiences.
