Help your customers plan their next step after VMware, backed by training, engineering support, and protected margins from our team.

Become a Partner Partner Portal Login
IT professional in a data center weighing infrastructure options
01

80% of VMware customers indicate they want to switch to an alternative platform.

02

Most have no experience with any alternative platform, and they need a guide.

03

Our partner training teaches you the VergeOS advantages and makes you the VMware exit expert.

What You’d Be Selling

One platform instead of a stack of products

VergeOS brings compute, storage, and networking into one operating environment that runs on standard servers. For partners, that means a simpler quote, a faster deployment, and one vendor to call.

Today: a stack of separate products A hypervisor, a storage array, a storage network, and backup and DR, each a separate product with its own license or contract, sitting on top of the host servers. Today Hypervisorlicense + support Storage arrayseparate vendor Storage networkextra switches Backup & DRanother contract HostHostHost
Separate products, contracts, and support calls.
With VergeOS: one platform on standard servers VergeOS combines compute, storage, networking, and data protection in a single platform running on standard x86 servers. With VergeOS VergeOS one platform Compute Storage Networking Data protection x86 serverx86 serverx86 server
One platform to quote, deploy, and support.

VergeOS runs on almost any standard server hardware, including the servers you already sell.

VMware to VergeOS Migration

Watch how easily VMware VMs migrate to VergeOS.

Watch the video

VergeIO is the leading VMware alternative. Unlike hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI) rotates the traditional IT stack (computing, storage, and networking) into an integrated data center operating environment, VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly simplified IT.
