What to expect at the booth
Every show is a little different, but the same three things are always true.
Live demos
Watch Fuzzball run a container-first workflow across on-premises and cloud infrastructure, see Warewulf Pro provision a cluster from a single node image, and get a close look at RLC Pro, the commercially supported tier of Rocky Linux from CIQ.
The engineers behind the products
The people at the booth build and support what they show. Bring a cluster question, a migration plan, or a workload that is not scaling and get a specific answer from someone who has solved it before.
Sessions, BoFs, and happy hours
CIQ engineers present talks and run birds of a feather sessions on Warewulf, OpenHPC, and containerized HPC. Some shows add an evening event with partners. Each event page lists the schedule.
