Comparing VMware Alternative Storage
As part of a VMware exit, comparing the VMware alternative storage capabilities is as important as selecting an alternative hypervisor for the organization’s future infrastructure software. Organizations typically examine Nutanix’s Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) architecture against VergeIO’s integrated VergeFS storage within VergeOS. Although both approaches…

Improving IT Operational Performance
Improving IT operational performance should be a key criterion when selecting a VMware alternative. Yes, lowering licensing fees and improving hardware performance will factor into the decision. Still, the project’s long-term success will depend on whether the new infrastructure software helps raise the IT operational…
Infrastructure Strategies for Service Providers
This blog explores Infrastructure Strategies for Service Providers, highlighting how MSPs and CSPs use VergeOS differently to meet their unique business and technical needs. It features Livewire as a real-world example and explains how VergeOS simplifies management, enhances scalability, and enables both provider types to deliver more competitive services.
The Bare Metal Dilemma
Discover how bare metal service providers are replacing VMware with VergeOS to reduce costs, simplify operations, enhance security, and deliver scalable, automated infrastructure with modern observability and fast migration tools.
Ensuring VDI Resilience
Why Your Infrastructure Must Be More Reliable Than a Laptop Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) promises centralized management, enhanced security, and simplified desktop provisioning, but ensuring VDI resilience ultimately determines its success. Users expect their virtual desktops to be available whenever needed, and IT administrators can’t…
This World Backup Day, Don’t Back Up. Build Differently.
World Backup Day is a timely reminder that data loss is still a threat—and that most IT environments still rely on traditional backup software to stay safe. But what if your IT infrastructure didn’t need conventional backup strategies? What if your virtual infrastructure could natively…
Solving VDI Boot Storms
Solving VDI Boot Storms: Boot storms cripple VDI performance, causing long login times and storage bottlenecks, which lower VDI adoption and user acceptance. Traditional vSAN solutions struggle under load, but VergeFS, integrated into VergeOS, eliminates inefficiencies with distributed mirroring and optimized deduplication. See how real-world testing proves VergeFS delivers faster, more reliable virtual desktop performance at lower costs.
SDN at the Edge
SDN at the Edge should be part of evaluating a VMware alternative. While organizations often focus on reducing licensing costs and simplifying data center management, they should also consider using software-defined networking at the edge. Extending SDN beyond the core to edge locations, remote offices,…
Alternatives to Proprietary Networking
Organizations considering a VMware exit should also consider alternatives to proprietary networking. Extending infrastructure modernization to networking has the potential to further lower costs and improve flexibility. Why continue paying for expensive, proprietary networking hardware when an integrated, software-defined alternative is available at no extra…
Maximizing Storage Refresh ROI
A traditional SAN refresh is costly, complex, and locks IT teams into another cycle of expensive upgrades. VergeOS with VergeFS eliminates the need for dedicated storage arrays by integrating storage into the hypervisor. Reduce costs, improve performance, and future-proof your infrastructure while simultaneously transitioning away from VMware.
VMware Servers for Your Storage Refresh
What if you could use your existing VMware servers for your storage refresh? Many IT professionals are facing two big projects in 2025: a SAN refresh and the replacement of VMware. The problem is that most vendors will want you to replace all that hardware,…
