VergeFabric

Advanced L2 and L3 Networking

Integrated Into VergeOS

Rethink Your Approach to Networking

Don’t let your infrastructure savings stop at replacing the hypervisor—extend your cost reductions to networking with VergeFabric. Traditional networking solutions, like VMware NSX, add unnecessary complexity and licensing costs, making SDN adoption difficult for many organizations. VergeFabric, integrated directly into VergeOS, eliminates SDN licensing fees, dedicated controller VMs, and vendor lock-in, allowing IT teams to reduce costs and simplify network management without sacrificing performance or security.

Why VergeFabric?

Traditional SDN solutions require expensive per-core licensing, additional virtual machines, and complex configurations. VergeFabric removes these obstacles by directly integrating advanced networking capabilities into VergeOS, allowing IT teams to modernize their infrastructure without additional software costs or hardware overhead.

With VergeFabric, organizations can:

Eliminate SDN licensing fees and avoid vendor lock-in.
Reduce infrastructure complexity with centralized, software-defined automation.
Enhance security with VM and VDC-level segmentation without VLAN sprawl.
Enable seamless multi-site connectivity without complex VPN configurations.
Improve disaster recovery readiness with built-in network automation and failover capabilities.

Virtual Data Centers (VDCs): Network Segmentation & Multi-Tenancy

VergeFabric works seamlessly with Virtual Data Centers (VDCs), an integral feature of VergeOS that abstracts an entire data center—just as virtual machines abstract physical servers. This enables organizations to:

Segment workloads to ensure secure multi-tenancy for different teams, business units, or customers.
Create isolated network environments within a single physical infrastructure, reducing the risk of unauthorized cross-communication.
Assign dedicated network resources to specific VDCs, ensuring predictable performance and eliminating noisy neighbor issues.
Enhance security by enforcing VDC-level segmentation, where each VDC can have its own firewall rules, routing policies, and access controls.
Simplify disaster recovery by replicating entire VDC environments, including all networking configurations, for fast failover and restoration.

With VergeFabric and VDCs, IT teams gain unparalleled control over workload isolation, network automation, and security enforcement, all without additional licensing fees or complex configurations.

Integrated SDN Without the Cost or Complexity

Unlike standalone SDN solutions, VergeFabric is fully embedded in VergeOS, meaning:

No dedicated SDN VMs consuming CPU and memory resources.
No additional licensing fees—included at no extra cost with VergeOS.
No complicated third-party integrations—fully native and easy to manage.
No expensive proprietary hardware required—works with commodity network switches.

VergeFabric in Action

VergeFabric enables organizations to deploy multi-tenant Virtual Data Centers (VDCs), enforce network segmentation and security policies at the VM level, and manage multi-site connectivity with minimal effort. Whether you’re running a small data center or a large enterprise environment, VergeFabric ensures scalability, efficiency, and cost savings while simplifying network operations.

FAQ

What is VergeFabric?

How is VergeFabric different from VMware NSX?

Unlike VMware NSX, VergeFabric is natively embedded into VergeOS, meaning:

No per-core licensing fees – VergeFabric is included at no additional cost.
No dedicated SDN VMs – Eliminates the CPU and memory overhead of running separate SDN controllers.
No complex configurations – Simplifies network management with centralized automation.
No vendor lock-in – Works with commodity network switches rather than requiring proprietary hardware.

Do I need additional licenses to use VergeFabric?

What networking features are available with VergeFabric?

How does VergeFabric improve security?

VergeFabric enhances security by embedding stateful firewall protection, segmentation policies, and traffic monitoring directly into the hypervisor.

VM-Level and VDC-Level Segmentation prevent unauthorized lateral movement.
Stateful Firewall Rules enforce Layer 3 & 4 traffic controls.
Port Mirroring & Firewall Rule Logging provide advanced monitoring and audit capabilities.
Rate Limiting helps mitigate excessive network traffic and potential attacks.

Can VergeFabric work with my existing network infrastructure?

Does VergeFabric support multi-site connectivity?

How does VergeFabric help with disaster recovery?

How does VergeFabric work with Virtual Data Centers (VDCs)?

VergeFabric integrates natively with VergeOS Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) to create secure, isolated network environments for different workloads, business units, or customers.

Each VDC operates as an independent network segment with its own firewall, DHCP, and routing policies.
Multi-tenant isolation ensures workloads remain secure from unauthorized cross-communication.
VDCs can be replicated for disaster recovery, preserving all networking configurations automatically.
