VergeOS 26.2: Finish the VMware Exit
Watch Aaron Richman and Dave Vincent demonstrate how VergeOS 26.2 moves the workloads that usually stay behind on VMware, from clustered SQL Server to the single-server sites at the edge of your network.

What You Will See in 60 Minutes
Why VMware Exits Stall
Most organizations move the bulk of their VMs quickly. The clustered applications and remote sites are what keep a second hypervisor, and a second license bill, running long after the project should have closed.
Faster Migration, Shorter Cutover
Aaron and Dave walk through the VergeOS migration service and its use of changed block tracking, then show how 26.2 shortens both the initial full transfer and the final transfer at cutover.
Microsoft Failover Clustering on VergeFS
See a Windows failover cluster running on VergeFS with shared disks and SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations, with no dedicated storage array behind it.
Single-Server Distributed Data Centers
Retail and branch sites often run on one server. VergeOS 26.2 lowers the requirements for those locations to one server with two network connections and no core network.
VergeOS 26.2 in the Lab
Dave runs a working VergeOS 26.2 environment live from his lab, start to finish.

Built for Teams with a Few Workloads Left on VMware
This session is for infrastructure architects, IT managers, and systems engineers who have started a VMware exit, or priced one, and found a handful of workloads that refuse to move. A SQL Server failover cluster, a storage array kept alive only for its shared disks, or dozens of retail and branch locations running a single server each are the cases Aaron and Dave will cover in detail.
IT and finance leaders tracking VMware renewal costs will see what it takes to retire the second platform instead of paying for it year after year.
One Piece of Software for the Entire Infrastructure
VergeOS is infrastructure software that customers use to replace VMware, fight data center inflation, support distributed data centers, and prepare their infrastructure for AI and private AI workloads. It runs on bare metal on the servers the organization already owns, and a single instance can mix vendors and CPU generations. Customers also use it to run private AI on GPUs they already have, which avoids per-token costs and keeps their data under their own control.
What’s New in VergeOS 26.2
VergeOS 26.2 speeds the transfers behind every VMware migration, adds support for Microsoft Failover Clustering inside VergeFS, and lowers the requirements for single-server distributed data centers to one server with two network connections. Together, those changes go after the workloads that most often hold an organization on VMware once the bulk of the migration is finished. The release is available now to VergeIO customers.
