We'll be back next month with more great content! Enjoy!

It's been nearly a year since I released my video on VergeIO's virtualization platform, #VergeOS. A lot has changed in a year, and I've been curious to see how things have been going for Verge, what new innovations they've been bringing to their platform, and where the #homelab version of VergeOS is!

In this interview, I sit down with Jason Yeager, SVP of Engineering at VergeIO, to talk about:
  •. The state of virtualization after VMware & Broadcom
  •. Why companies like Topgolf and federal agencies are choosing VergeOS
  •. Huge upcoming integrations: Veeam, NVIDIA vGPU, and AI orchestration
  •. The long-awaited Community Edition and why it matters
  •. How VergeIO is helping customers future-proof with edge, AI, and simplified infrastructure
