Morning Coffee Sessions - Part 1
Retail Infrastructure Modernization with HCI and Object Storage

Grab a coffee - this is 20 minutes, not a seminar. You'll leave with:

• Buying signals that an account is ready for HCI: a VMware renewal on the horizon, aging branch servers, sites with nobody technical on staff.
• What a VMware exit actually looks like: the StarWind HCI running Hyper-V, Proxmox or XCP-ng, and how to position the migration without it sounding like rip-and-replace.
• Where DataCore Swarm object storage and DataCore SANsymphony fit alongside HCI when data piles up across distributed locations.
• Why "turnkey" goes beyond hardware? Full-cycle technical support and assisted deployment, so sites without IT staff aren't your problem after the sale.

Partner teams selling into retail stores and food manufacturing facilities. If your customers run distributed sites: IT in the back office, OT on the shop floor or production line, you know the pattern: every location has to stay up, almost none has IT on site, and the budget doesn't stretch to enterprise infrastructure.

We'll walk through real scenarios - like a store whose POS backend dies mid-morning with nobody technical in the building, or a production line that can't pause for server maintenance, and show how to position a fix those accounts can actually afford.
