Most VMware exit plans treat data protection as a hand-me-down decision. The transition window is the real architectural problem — production data lives on two hypervisors at once, and the backup tier becomes a second migration project on top of the first. This hub collects the architectural argument, the reference implementation with Storware, and the live demonstration of how the two-layer model holds up under real failure conditions.

Resilience Without Lock-In
The complete reference architecture for two-layer data protection during a VMware exit. Walks through the VergeOS plus Storware integration mechanics, sizing recommendations, cross-hypervisor recovery scenarios, and the role-by-role comparison of which product owns which layer.
Flexibility at Scale
See the Storware-VergeOS architecture demonstrated live, including cross-hypervisor recovery, the four-of-six failure proof point, and live Q&A with the architects who built it.

The recovery time gap is an architecture problem, not a backup product problem. VDC encapsulation as the structural fix that closes the gap between expected and actual recovery times.

Storware lays out the three architectural questions a buyer should answer before selecting a destination hypervisor. The backup decision is upstream of the migration plan, not downstream of it.
