Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) promises simplified management but hides substantial costs and complexities. Traditional HCI architectures impose high hardware requirements, inefficiencies, and restrictive availability models. This article explores these hidden costs, offering a detailed comparison with alternative solutions designed to improve efficiency, reduce complexity, and substantially lower infrastructure expenses and risks.
Traditional triple mirroring introduces hidden costs, complexity, and limited scalability. VergeIO’s ioGuardian offers a powerful alternative, centralizing redundancy with an independent storage server, enabling real-time data recovery during multi-node failures, simplifying management, and achieving significant cost savings. Learn how ioGuardian enhances data resiliency while streamlining your infrastructure protection strategy beyond RF3 limitations.
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 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…
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.
