2GT Podcast

There has been a lot of talk on tech Youtube about De-”Google” or “De-Microsoft” yourself and your company. While we completely agree that you as a user or a business should have complete control over your data, we find that some of the solutions provided have major pitfalls that either make it unattainable to the average user or missing major features. We wanted to give both sides of the argument since it seemed very one-sided from our point of view.

I had the INCREDIBLE opportunity to sit down and chat with Jeff Ready, CEO and Co-founder of SCALE Computing about the business, their enterprise virtualization platform, HyperCore, and the future of virtualization. Jeff shares some fantastic insights on the virtualization landscape post-Broadcom and the future of virtualization! This is a can't-miss conversation!

In this month's Tech Chats Podcast, the guys cover the news. Rich rants about cloud providers like Azure and AWS not freely providing the security tools necessary to protect their customers and companies like Microsoft upselling security tools that should be provided for free to customers of their services.

This month's Tech Chat podcast is all about the risks and benefits of open-source software. From the Red Hat and Redis licensing changes to the XZ backdoor attempt, there have been some pretty significant events in the open-source landscape, and in this podcast, we discuss the good, the bad, and the risk and rewards of using open-source software.

In the post-vmware world we live in today, many people are evaluating where to turn next for their virtualization needs. In this video, I sat down with  Tom Lawrence to discuss the viability of open-source hypervisors as an alternative to #vmware and other closed-source hypervisors available today. We touch on #XCP-ng and #Proxmox, their viability in business, the #homelab, whether a Broadcom-style takeover could happen to them, and much more!

A very special thank you to Tom Lawrence for taking the time to talk with me about these topics! Find Tom's work here:

Welcome to our first podcast of 2024! (yes, it's a little late...that's my fault.) Anyway, we're changing up the podcast a bit in terms of format. That's right! We're trying something a little different! We've added a short news section to the beginning of the pods, followed by our deep-dive topic. This month's podcast is all about 'Life after VMware', where we talk about options and discuss the realities of moving to a different hypervisor for your #homelab and/or business!
