Last week IPDS and Pure Storage traded the conference room for the driver's seat!

On Thursday we hosted our customers at Dominion Raceway in Woodford, VA for a catered lunch and racetrack laps in Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and Corvettes at Xtreme Xperience.

Before getting behind the wheel, Charity Price shared with the group what IPDS brings to an Everpure environment: Elite partner status and Migration Certified, a scarce designation held by a small group of partners.

Thank you to the Everpure team and to everyone who came out and drove with us. We had a great day at the track!

When one of the largest book publishers in the world tells you their backup environment was bloated, expensive, and full of cost increases nobody could explain, you pay attention.
That's the story Penguin Random House shared in their testimonial about working with our Managed Data Protection team. They wanted one solution instead of five, a real reduction in cost, and a partner who would actually sit with them and dig into the problems. We pulled it off, and the part that matters most to us is that they keep coming back to the table because the relationship works.
If your backup stack has quietly turned into the same kind of mess, this one's worth watching.

A perfect evening of steak, w**e, and the kind of conversations that don't happen in conference rooms!
Last week, IPDS hosted the third stop of our 2026 Executive Dinner Series at Buckhead's Chop House in Richmond, VA.
The room dug into three topics every IT leader is navigating right now: OEM pricing and supply volatility, virtualization strategy in the era of Broadcom, and where Microsoft AI actually pays off.
Thank you to every executive who joined us in Richmond. These evenings only work because of who fills the room.
Onto the next!

Last week, IPDS hosted a full day with Commvault and Pure Storage Not a vendor pitch, but a working session on what data resilience actually looks like in 2026. Ransomware that does not quit, AD environments that have to come back clean, and the widening gap between having a recovery plan and having one you have actually tested.
The honest takeaway: most organizations do not have a clean room strategy. Most have not pressure-tested their recovery against a real incident. And the cost of that gap is no longer measured in IT terms - it is measured in days the business is dark.
We closed out the day at Sapwood Cellars Brewery, less PowerPoint, more pints!
Thanks to the and teams for the time in the office! Already looking forward to the next one.

Last week, IPDS hosted our Executive Dinner Series Event at The Charleston in Baltimore.
A five-course dinner prepared by James Beard Award-winning Chef Cindy Wolf, a room full of technology leaders, and a conversation led by our VP John DiPietro that covered what's actually keeping IT executives up at night.

The topics weren't theoretical - these are the conversations happening at the board level right now:

- The disruption in the virtualization market has forced organizations to reexamine longstanding assumptions around licensing, cost predictability, and platform dependency.
- How the AI CapEx boom is adding extended lead times, significant cost increases, and very short term pricing guarantees for all infrastructure.
- Why procurement cycles built for a stable infrastructure market, need to adapt to this new reality.
- And how organizations are preparing their environments for Microsoft Copilot before the productivity wave hits.

These are the conversations happening in every customer engagement right now. If any of these topics hit close to home for your organization, reach out to: [email protected], our door is always open.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. More cities and more dinners coming soon!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at The Charleston in Baltimore for our IPDS Executive Dinner Series. What a night!

Chef Cindy Wolf walked us through all 5 courses, and the house sommelier introduced perfectly paired w**es for each, transforming this event from a dinner to a true dining experience.

But as incredible as the food and w**e were, the conversation around the table is what it’s all about. One note we received from an attendee sums it up well:

“Meeting with partners to discuss IT initiatives, along with shared trials and tribulations, provides a valuable platform to learn how IPDS and its partners can support our IT operations. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to our continued partnership.”

That’s exactly why we do this. Full recap coming next week!
