In this episode, we sit down with Olivier Lambert, CEO and co-founder of Vates, the company behind XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra. Established in Grenoble, France, in 2012, Vates has become a community favourite in the open-source virtualization space, offering powerful alternatives to traditional hypervisors. Olivier and I explore Vates roots in open-source solutions and how it's shaping the future of virtualization with its user-centric platforms. Lambert shares his insights on Vates' mission, the evolution of XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra, and how these tools are democratizing virtualization for organizations of all sizes.

Founded in the scenic Alps of Grenoble, France, Vates has carved a niche for itself by focusing on simplicity, support, and community-driven innovation. With headquarters still in Grenoble, it stands as a testament to the enduring value of open-source technology in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape.
