Dell directs VxRail customers toward Dell Private Cloud, which reintroduces infrastructure complexity by requiring new servers and external storage arrays. VergeOS runs on existing VxRail hardware, consolidating VMware, vSAN, and networking into a single unified platform without requiring hardware replacement or storage migration projects.
Midsize data center automation delivers higher ROI than enterprise implementations but faces sustainability challenges. Small IT teams need automation more than large organizations, but struggle when infrastructure fragmentation forces constant code maintenance. Unified infrastructure makes automation durable by abstracting hardware complexity, enabling resource-constrained teams to sustain automated operations in the long term.
VergeOS separates the VMware exit from the hardware refresh. Organizations keep their existing servers, add off-the-shelf SSDs, and migrate workloads incrementally. Licensing costs drop 65%. Storage costs drop 80%. Migration completes in weeks, not months. No forklift required.
Storage refreshes break automation because new arrays introduce incompatible APIs and changed endpoints. Organizations refreshing storage must rewrite Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks, even if they are staying within the same vendor. VergeOS unified infrastructure eliminates the need for automation rewrites entirely.
Infrastructure automation fails when hardware differences between production and DR sites force separate code paths. Abstracted infrastructure eliminates these variables by presenting consistent interfaces regardless of underlying equipment. Organizations gain automation that works identically across all environments, enabling reliable disaster recovery and portable infrastructure-as-code.
Traditional virtualization stacks force complexity into automation pipelines. Packer requires multiple image variants. Terraform modules fill with conditional logic. Ansible roles need hardware detection for every cluster. VergeOS changes this by abstracting services from hardware, giving teams one API and consistent behavior across environments. Automation becomes predictable, not brittle.
