VergeIO and Dallas Digital Offer Alternative Enterprise Virtualization Solutions
ANN ARBOR, Mich., and DALLAS, Texas, September 13, 2022 — VergeIO, the company with a simpler way to virtualize data centers, and Dallas DigitalServices, an IT solutions provider for enterprises and government agencies, today announced an agreement to offer VergeIO’s virtual cloud software stack as a simple, cost-effective alternative to build, deploy and manage virtual data centers.
With VergeOS software, Dallas Digital enables virtualized data centers for its clients with greater savings and efficiencies. VergeOS abstracts compute, network, and storage from commodity servers and creates pools of raw resources that are simple to run and manage, creating feature-rich infrastructures for environments and workloads like clustered HPC, ultra-converged and hyper-converged data centers, DevOps and Test/Dev, compliant medical and healthcare, remote and edge compute including VDI, and multi-tenant private clouds.
“Legacy virtualization platforms require many differentSKUs, with complex pricing schemes and significant API integration to build outa virtualized data center, especially at scale,” said Howie Evans VicePresident Dallas Digital. “We are pleased to be able to offer VergeOS as a way to deliver a virtual data center experience but in a secure, hardware-efficient system that can scale compute, memory, and storage resources as needed.”
“Recent M&A activity is causing enterprises to look for alternatives to legacy systems, and partnerships with solution providers like DallasDigital are an ideal way to bring these customers a modernized virtualization platform for the way organizations work today,” said Yan Ness, CEO at VergeIO.“VergeOS is not only simpler to configure and run, it’s simpler to buy, and simpler for Dallas Digital to support.”
VergeOS is an ultra-thin software—less than 300,000 lines of code—that is easy to install and scale on low-cost commodity hardware and self-manages based on AI/ML. A single license replaces separate hypervisor, networking, storage, data protection, and management tools to simplify operations and downsize complex technology stacks.
Secure virtual data centers based on VergeOS include all enterprise data services like global deduplication, disaster recovery, continuous data protection, snapshots, long-distance synch, and auto-failover. They are ideal for creating honeypots, sandboxes, cyber ranges, air-gapped computing, and secure compliance enclaves to meet regulations such as HIPAA, CUI, SOX,NIST, and PCI. Nested multi-tenancy gives service providers, departmental enterprises, and campuses the ability to assign resources and services to groups and sub-groups.

Virtualization of GPU resources simply and affordably supports AI/ML, remote desktop and other performance-intensive workloads
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—August 16, 2022 — VergeIO, the company with a simpler way to virtualize data centers, has added significant new features to its VergeOS software to give users the performance of GPUs as virtualized, shared resources. This creates a cost-effective, simple and flexible way to perform GPU-based machine learning, remote desktop and other compute-intensive workloads within an agile, scalable, secure VergeOS virtual data center.
VergeOS abstracts compute, network, and storage from commodity servers and creates pools of raw resources that are simple to run and manage, creating feature-rich infrastructures for environments and workloads like clusteredHPC in universities, ultra-converged and hyperconverged enterprises, DevOps andTest/Dev, compliant medical and healthcare, remote and edge compute includingVDI, and xSPs offering hosted services including private clouds.
Current methods for deploying GPUs systemwide are complex and expensive, especially for remote users. Rather than supplying GPUs throughout the organization, VergeIO allows users and applications with access to a virtual data center to share the computing resources of a singleGPU-equipped server. Users/administrators can ‘pass through’ an installed GPU to a virtual data center by simply creating a virtual machine with access to that GPU and its resources.
Alternatively, VergeIO can manage the virtualization of theGPU and serve up vGPUs to virtual data centers. This allows organizations to easily manage vGPUs on the same platform as all other shared resources.
According to Darren Pulsipher, Chief Solution Architect of PublicSector at Intel, “The market is looking for simplicity, and VergeOS is like an‘Easy Button’ for creating a virtual cloud that is so much faster and easier to set up than a private cloud. With VergeOS, my customers can migrate and manage their data centers anywhere and upgrade their hardware with zero downtime.”
“The ability to deploy GPU in a virtualized, converged environment, and access that performance as needed, even remotely, radically reduces the investment in hardware while simplifying management,” said VergeIO CEO Yan Ness. “Our users are increasingly needing GPU performance, from scientific research to machine learning, so vGPU and GPU Passthrough are simple ways to share and pool GPU resources as they do with the rest of their processing capabilities.”
VergeOS is an ultra-thin software—less than 300,000 lines of code—that is easy to install and scale on low-cost commodity hardware and self-manages based on AI/ML. A single license replaces separate hypervisor, networking, storage, data protection, and management tools to simplify operations and downsize complex technology stacks.
Secure virtual data centers based on VergeOS include all enterprise data services like global deduplication, disaster recovery, continuous data protection, snapshots, long-distance synch, and auto-failover.

Nested multi-tenancy gives service providers, departmental enterprises, and campuses the ability to assign resources and services to groups and sub-groups.
Currently VergeIO supports NVIDIATesla and Ampere cards; additional licenses must be purchased for vGPU capability.

We just finished our best quarter in VergeIO‘s history.
Our VP of Sales Chris Lehman led the team to this fantastic outcome.
Our KPI’s show that we have a repeatable, and scalable sales process. Our final few deals of the quarter had record low sales cycles and lead costs.We also identified a high-ROI and highly scalable marketing process. So, we’re dramatically increasing our marketing spend starting now. Analysts, new marketing tech stack, PR firm and more Google Adwords spend are in the works. And of course we love our experience with The Pipeline Group. Thanks Ken Jisser.
Our message resonates. Everyone is looking to simplify IT. There’s nothing simpler than using VergeIO software product on commodity hardware instead of the 10 vendors and 3 experts needed with other legacy providers.
We’re also speaking to a lot of people highly motivated to find an alternative to VMware given their acquisition by Broadcom Inc. While I feel for the VMware employee’s who will lose their jobs I also feel for their customers who are about to lose support and pay more for the privilege.
Thanks to our new customers, our existing customers and all our employees for such a successful quarterly.
We’re just getting started.
I read that there are 21 million cores running Open Stack clouds.
That’s a lot of workloads.
Lately we’ve been hearing that IT leaders are struggling to find Open Stack (and other) cloud engineers. The complexity of deploying, sizing and maintaining an OpenStack environment often requires an outsourcing partner (there are many…for a reason), hiring an expensive staff with certifications or investing in staff training.
Has OpenStack become too complex?
OpenStack is now 20 million lines of code added incrementally, over time, to address yet another layer of virtualization. It’s a really cool product, but I wonder if it’s gotten too complex. And I doubt it’ll fit well for the workloads of the future – workloads that will run everywhere, outside the cloud, and to the edge itself, often with no staff around
To run those workloads, and to lighten the staffing challenges of OpenStack (and other technologies) we will all need a thin single piece of software that abstracts the entire data center, runs on commodity x86 hardware and can be managed by an IT generalist. That’s what we built at VergeIO. In only 300,000 lines of code we’ve virtualized the entire data center allowing you to run workloads outside the cloud with few staff.
Take VergeIO for a test drive today and see what software can feel like with VergeIO!
