VMware’s Protection Problem

VMware’s Protection Problem goes beyond licensing. The platform’s reliance on third-party backup and recovery adds cost and complexity. VergeOS eliminates these layers, embedding protection directly into the infrastructure to deliver faster recovery, lower cost, and built-in resilience.

Simplifying Public Sector DR

K–12 and municipal IT teams can simplify disaster recovery with VergeOS by eliminating the need for separate backup systems, orchestration tools, and dedicated DR sites. VergeOS enables cross-replication, supports routine testing, runs on existing hardware, and includes all DR capabilities—snapshots, replication, and recovery—in the core license. This reduces cost and complexity while improving resiliency with minimal overhead.

Backup Independence

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.

A Secure VMware Alternative

According to the ESG study, “Private AI, Virtualization, and Cloud: Transforming the Future of Infrastructure Modernization“, 72% of organizations experienced a cost increase in their infrastructure software, and 41% of those organizations are looking for a secure VMware Alternative. While reducing those licensing fees was…

Triple Mirroring — Hidden Challenges in VMware Alternatives

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.

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…
