CXQuest profiled Pfeiffer University’s transformation after replacing VMware with VergeOS, achieving an 85% reduction in infrastructure costs while improving student and staff experiences. The university leveraged VergeOS’s unified virtualization, storage, and networking platform to repurpose existing hardware, eliminate multiple third-party tools, and simplify operations. The article underscores how VergeIO’s ultraconverged architecture delivers both economic efficiency and experience innovation—demonstrating the strategic impact of infrastructure modernization across higher education.
VergeIO and Cirrus Data have partnered to eliminate infrastructure sprawl by combining Cirrus Data’s universal migration technology with VergeIO’s all-in-one infrastructure operating system. The joint solution provides enterprises with a seamless path to move off VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and other platforms with minimal disruption, while consolidating virtualization, storage, networking, and AI into a single software stack. Together, they promise to cut total cost of ownership by more than 50% over three years, deliver payback in as little as 12 to 18 months, and give IT teams a practical way to standardize and prepare for future workloads.
ChannelBuzz.ca recently highlighted VergeIO’s partnership with Cirrus Data, showcasing how the two companies are working together to eliminate infrastructure sprawl. The coverage emphasizes how Cirrus Data’s zero-downtime migration technology complements VergeOS, VergeIO’s single-codebase infrastructure operating system for virtualization, storage, networking, and AI. Together, the joint solution provides enterprises with a seamless migration path from VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and other environments, while consolidating operations into one unified platform. The article notes that this approach can cut total cost of ownership by more than 50%, deliver rapid payback, and prepare organizations for private AI workloads—positioning VergeIO as a strategic VMware alternative with strong channel opportunity.
VergeIO has partnered with Cirrus Data to simplify migrations away from VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V, and other hypervisors, aiming to eliminate infrastructure sprawl. By combining Cirrus Data’s near-universal mobility software with VergeOS—an ultra-converged operating system that unifies virtualization, storage, networking, and AI—enterprises can consolidate onto a single platform with minimal downtime. The companies say this approach reduces licensing costs, streamlines operations, and accelerates recovery, while delivering over 50% lower three-year TCO, rapid payback, and a foundation ready for private AI workloads.
The VergeIO–Cirrus Data partnership provides a strategic solution: Cirrus Data enables seamless, zero-downtime migrations from VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and other environments, while VergeOS consolidates virtualization, storage, networking, and AI into a unified operating system. Together, they simplify IT operations, reduce costs by over 50%, extend hardware life, and empower enterprises to deliver faster, more reliable, and AI-ready customer experiences.
DCIG’s latest analysis on the shifting hypervisor landscape highlights exactly why VergeIO is emerging as the VMware alternative to watch. With VergeOS, organizations gain an ultraconverged platform that integrates virtualization, storage, and networking into a single code base—delivering unmatched simplicity, cost savings, and resiliency. Unlike layered solutions that add complexity and licensing fees, VergeOS runs on nearly any x86 hardware, boots 1,000 VMs in just 70 seconds, and provides enterprise-grade data protection with features like ioGuardian and ioClone. As DCIG points out, the era of hypervisor lock-in is ending, and VergeIO is proving that modern infrastructure can be powerful, affordable, and future-ready all at once.
