ITQonnect Days & ITQon! 2026

In this session, we will break down the VCF implementation for Stormgeo. We will explore how VCF acts as the foundational platform powering their data analytics platform, providing the infrastructure required to handle the compute and orchestration demands of their weather and satellite image processing workloads.

ITQ ran a structured pilot putting Claude into the hands of real teams across sales, marketing, engineering, and the CTO office. This 15-minute session covers what we implemented, the workflows that actually stuck, and the value we created — hours recovered, work made easier, and the case for scaling it. I'll keep it honest: what worked, what didn't, how we handled security and the data boundary, and where we go next with a private AI environment in Phase 2.

See how ITQ uses AI to turn customer conversations into tailored proposals. In this hands-on demo, we walk through our workflow: capturing meeting insights in Notion, using Claude to analyse transcripts, and generating offers that speak directly to what the customer actually said they need, not what we assumed.

Imagine being one of Europe's busiest airports, IT being the foundation of your day to day operations.
That makes high availability and business continuity a key principle of every system you implement, everything you do actually.
Now imagine getting a call from the commercial datacenter that provides you with that crucial availability.
"We sold the place, you are to vacate in eight months"

Not only did the airport need to procure and fit out a datacenter, they also needed to move all systems, while keeping the lights on.
Our Everpure storage arrays were one of the pillars of the environment, so they needed to keep running while we moved.
Let's talk about some of the challenges we faced and how we used the Everpure toolkit to address those.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an intriguing technology. It can create funny videos, help solving day to day problems, support in medical treatments and much more.
But at what cost? How will it change our society? Why does the fossil industry love AI? And - is it worth it?
This talk is not to answer all questions - but it is there to help understand when and why we should rethink using AI.
This session will contain technical terms, facts & figures - although, this session does not require any deep knowledge of AI.

Discover how VMware HCX OS Assisted Migration (OSAM) can simplify and accelerate workload migrations into a modern VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment.

In this session, we will share a real-world customer experience migrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines hosting Oracle Databases into a new VMware Cloud Foundation Workload Domain using VMware HCX OSAM at SFIL.

Through this field-driven use case, we will cover:

Key architecture and design considerations for HCX
Migration workflow, challenges encountered, and lessons learned
Operational impacts, downtime expectations, and validation steps
Best practices and recommendations for future VCF migration projects

This session is aimed at VMware architects, consultants, and looking for practical guidance and real operational feedback on leveraging HCX OSAM in enterprise migration scenarios involving business-critical workloads.

Security and Compliance does not always require endless spreadsheets, PDFs, Docs and manual tasks.
In this session we explore how the MITRE Security Automation Framework (SAF) can support use cases which require a standardized, automated compliance pipeline. An approach to be able to scale with the infrastructure and remove human errors.

We will walk you through a use case auditing an environment which needs to fulfill special security requirements by extending VMware DISA STIG compliance checks.

You will be introduced to a framework built on open source tooling.

Your takeaways:
- Understanding of MITRE SAF
- How to extend existing STIG profiles
- A live demo of a framework built on open source toolsets
