The Proxmox Storage Tax

Here is a clean 35-word excerpt:

Excerpt (35 words):
Proxmox’s zero licensing cost hides a growing storage tax created by ZFS, Ceph, and external arrays. Capacity waste, expertise demands, and operational overhead increase costs. VergeOS removes these taxes through global deduplication and unified architecture.

Deduplication and RAM Cache

Deduplication and RAM cache often clash in storage-centric systems. Infrastructure-wide deduplication aligns them, boosting cache effectiveness, reducing latency, and ensuring applications gain real performance benefits without rehydration penalties.

What is Infrastructure-Wide Deduplication

Infrastructure-wide deduplication goes beyond storage arrays and backup appliances by unifying dedupe across storage, compute, and networking. This approach eliminates rehydration cycles, reduces hidden infrastructure taxes, and turns a commodity feature into a strategic business advantage.

Advanced Data Resilience Strategy

VergeOS delivers Advanced Data Resilience with built-in deduplication, real-time recovery, and protection beyond N+2—even on minimal nodes—eliminating the need for third-party backup or replication tools.

An AFA Alternative

The VergeIO + Solidigm AFA Replacement Kit replaces aging all-flash arrays and VMware dependencies with a unified, high-performance platform that simplifies operations and runs on existing server hardware.

Maximizing Storage Refresh ROI

A traditional SAN refresh is costly, complex, and locks IT teams into another cycle of expensive upgrades. VergeOS with VergeFS eliminates the need for dedicated storage arrays by integrating storage into the hypervisor. Reduce costs, improve performance, and future-proof your infrastructure while simultaneously transitioning away from VMware.
