Join IBM and R2i on June 18, 2026, for an exclusive executive evening in Toronto focused on intelligent storage infrastructure and practical VMware alternatives.

As enterprise priorities shift, IT leaders are being asked to improve resilience, agility, and performance while keeping costs under control. At the same time, many organizations are re-evaluating their virtualization strategy in response to rising VMware licensing costs.

Join IBM and R2i for an exclusive executive dinner to explore what is next in intelligent infrastructure. This evening will cover how AI-driven storage is reshaping the enterprise with IBM FlashSystem, and how IBM Cloud and Red Hat technologies can support your transition toward practical VMware alternatives.
