CIOs seek to reduce or halt cloud spending per Venture Beat

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.

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.

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.
