The Network Standardization Myth
Single-vendor networking looks simple but raises cost, stretches lead times, and complicates DR. Early SDN did not fix it because it shipped as a separate stack that was complex to deploy and expensive to run. The post explains why integrating SDN into a data center operating system changes the outcome and busts the data center operating system myth.
Multi-Site VMware Alternative Strategy
Plan a multi-site VMware alternative strategy to simplify operations, reduce costs, and prepare for AI workloads across edge and core environments.
Why Edge AI Fails
Edge AI fails due to fragmented infrastructure, inconsistent upgrades, and poor operational control. Learn how an integrated, location-agnostic platform can overcome these challenges and scale AI from edge to core without complexity.
Topgolf is Choosing VergeOS
To exit VMware, Topgolf is choosing VergeOS across more than 100 venues and its central data center. The company is replacing a mix of VMware software, vxRail hardware, and third-party backup with a single, integrated platform. Each venue now runs a three-node VergeOS cluster. The…
Advanced Data Resilience Strategy
VergeOS delivers Advanced Data Resilience with built-in deduplication, real-time recovery, and protection beyond N+2—even on minimal nodes—eliminating the need for third-party backup or replication tools.
An AFA Alternative
The VergeIO + Solidigm AFA Replacement Kit replaces aging all-flash arrays and VMware dependencies with a unified, high-performance platform that simplifies operations and runs on existing server hardware.
Simplifying Public Sector DR
K–12 and municipal IT teams can simplify disaster recovery with VergeOS by eliminating the need for separate backup systems, orchestration tools, and dedicated DR sites. VergeOS enables cross-replication, supports routine testing, runs on existing hardware, and includes all DR capabilities—snapshots, replication, and recovery—in the core license. This reduces cost and complexity while improving resiliency with minimal overhead.
Cut Education Infrastructure Costs
K–12 and municipal IT teams are using VergeOS to reduce infrastructure costs by replacing VMware, backup software, and SANs with a single, efficient platform. VergeOS simplifies management, extends hardware life, and eliminates licensing complexity—helping public sector organizations meet growing demands without adding cost or operational burden.
Backup Independence
VergeOS empowers organizations to achieve Backup Independence by integrating data protection directly into the virtualization layer. Through features like ioClone, ioGuardian, and ioReplicate, it eliminates the need for traditional backup software. This unified approach simplifies operations, enhances resilience, and redefines the boundary between production and protection in modern IT environments.
The Infrastructure Problem
IT leaders face mounting pressure from VMware disruption, cloud costs, AI complexity, and skills shortages. But these are symptoms of a deeper issue: fragmented infrastructure. This article explores how modern, unified infrastructure software addresses the root of the problem—simplifying operations, reducing costs, and enabling IT to scale efficiently.
