Your SAN refresh has a real number. Let’s find it together.
A 20-minute call. A 5-page report tailored to your environment. Three outputs: what your refresh actually costs at current vendor list, what the same workload costs on the framework path, and the migration plan that funds the VMware exit inside the same budget cycle.
Three outputs. One number you can defend.
The diagnostic produces an environment-specific report — not a generic ROI calculator. Every number ties to your hardware, your VM count, your VMware contract date, and your refresh budget. The CFO can check the math. The architect can validate the sizing. You walk into the next budget conversation with an answer.
Three outputs every diagnostic delivers
Built from your data. Validated against your contract dates. Sized for your VM count and host footprint.
Status-quo baseline
What your refresh costs at current vendor list, projected through 2028. Hardware, support, capacity expansion, and the VMware renewal escalator — line by line, year by year.
Refurbished + UCI true-up
The same workload, the same SLA, on the framework path. VergeOS deployed across your existing servers. Refurbished enterprise SSDs at qualified supply. RF3 + ioGuardian. Three-year cost sized for your environment.
ROI of switching + migration
The hardware delta from output 02. The VMware exit math. A three-phase migration plan paced against your renewal date. One cycle. Two wins. Inside one budget envelope.
What customers find in their environments
20 minutes of your time. A few days of ours.
A structured questionnaire walking through your storage footprint, your compute, your VMware contract, your SLA, your migration constraints, and your budget cycle. Every question feeds a specific section of the report.
- Your current array, capacity, age, and vendor quote
- Your hosts, cores, VMs, and workload mix
- Your VMware spend and renewal date
- SLA, performance, and DR requirements
- Migration constraints and decision context
Your diagnostic report is delivered via a password-protected page on verge.io, accessible through a unique secure access link sent to your email. The link expires 90 days after delivery. PDF available on request.
Excerpts from a recent diagnostic
A regional manufacturer with a 240TB Pure FlashArray, 14 Dell PowerEdge hosts, and a $750K refresh budget placeholder. Pure quote came in $430K over budget. The diagnostic found a path that came in $186K under. Numbers anonymized.
The first page of the report is written for the CFO, not the architect. It leads with one number — the dollars left on the table after executing the framework path against the existing budget placeholder.
($186K) under the $750K placeholder. Year-1 framework path total: $564,000 against the $750,000 already allocated. The CFO doesn’t need to find new budget — there’s budget left to return.
The report doesn’t list dependencies and leave them open. Each one gets resolved with a specific answer.
- SAP. Reference call set up with a current VergeIO customer running SAP in production on VergeOS.
- Veeam Backup & Replication v12. Hypervisor-agnostic, no change to backup architecture during migration.
- VDI Horizon brokers. Migration to Omnissa Horizon (multi-hypervisor) or Citrix DaaS planned for Phase 3, after tier-1 VM migration is validated.
Excerpts above are representative format. Your numbers will be your numbers.
Your number is sitting in your environment right now. Let’s pull it out.
A VergeIO architect, not an SDR
No SDR queue. No discovery-call shuffle. The call is with a VergeIO architect or analyst — someone who can read your environment, push back on assumptions, and build the report against the framework. Not a sales rep working a script.
Every diagnostic call is run by a VergeIO architect or analyst with deep technical context on enterprise storage, refurbished media, UCI architecture, and the VMware exit. The same people writing the campaign content, the white paper, and the trade-press bylines that drove this conversation. The call is technical from the first minute.
The four questions everyone asks first
No cost. No catch. The diagnostic is part of how VergeIO does sales — we’d rather show you the math than pitch you on a platform. If the math doesn’t favor switching, the report says so. We’d rather give you a clean number you can use however you want than waste your refresh cycle.
That’s fine. The status-quo baseline (output 01) is useful even if you stay on your current vendor — it’s a defensible three-year cost projection you can use in your own budget conversations. Plenty of customers run the diagnostic, decide to renew with their incumbent, and use output 01 to negotiate a better price.
The conversation is between you and the VergeIO architect on the call. The report is delivered to a private URL accessible only with the unique secure access link sent to your email. We don’t share customer data with channel, partners, or third parties. The only artifacts that leave the conversation are the ones you take with you.
That’s the better time to run the diagnostic. We can build output 01 from current vendor list pricing in your category — and you’ll walk into the vendor conversation already knowing what your three-year exposure looks like. It changes the conversation completely.
