‍VergeIO and Dallas Digital Offer Alternative Enterprise Virtualization Solutions

ANN ARBOR, Mich., and DALLAS, Texas, September 13, 2022 — VergeIO, the company with a simpler way to virtualize data centers, and Dallas DigitalServices, an IT solutions provider for enterprises and government agencies, today announced an agreement to offer VergeIO’s virtual cloud software stack as a simple, cost-effective alternative to build, deploy and manage virtual data centers.

With Verge-OS software, Dallas Digital enables virtualized data centers for its clients with greater savings and efficiencies. Verge-OS abstracts compute, network, and storage from commodity servers and creates pools of raw resources that are simple to run and manage, creating feature-rich infrastructures for environments and workloads like clustered HPC, ultra-converged and hyper-converged data centers, DevOps and Test/Dev, compliant medical and healthcare, remote and edge compute including VDI, and multi-tenant private clouds.

“Legacy virtualization platforms require many differentSKUs, with complex pricing schemes and significant API integration to build outa virtualized data center, especially at scale,” said Howie Evans VicePresident Dallas Digital. “We are pleased to be able to offer Verge-OS as a way to deliver a virtual data center experience but in a secure, hardware-efficient system that can scale compute, memory, and storage resources as needed.”

 “Recent M&A activity is causing enterprises to look for alternatives to legacy systems, and partnerships with solution providers like DallasDigital are an ideal way to bring these customers a modernized virtualization platform for the way organizations work today,” said Yan Ness, CEO at VergeIO.“Verge-OS is not only simpler to configure and run, it’s simpler to buy, and simpler for Dallas Digital to support.”

Verge-OS is an ultra-thin software—less than 300,000 lines of code—that is easy to install and scale on low-cost commodity hardware and self-manages based on AI/ML. A single license replaces separate hypervisor, networking, storage, data protection, and management tools to simplify operations and downsize complex technology stacks.

Secure virtual data centers based on Verge-OS include all enterprise data services like global deduplication, disaster recovery, continuous data protection, snapshots, long-distance synch, and auto-failover. They are ideal for creating honeypots, sandboxes, cyber ranges, air-gapped computing, and secure compliance enclaves to meet regulations such as HIPAA, CUI, SOX,NIST, and PCI. Nested multi-tenancy gives service providers, departmental enterprises, and campuses the ability to assign resources and services to groups and sub-groups.

Virtualization of GPU resources simply and affordably supports AI/ML, remote desktop and other performance-intensive workloads

 ANN ARBOR, Mich.—August 16, 2022 — VergeIO, the company with a simpler way to virtualize data centers, has added significant new features to its Verge-OS software to give users the performance of GPUs as virtualized, shared resources. This creates a cost-effective, simple and flexible way to perform GPU-based machine learning, remote desktop and other compute-intensive workloads within an agile, scalable, secure Verge-OS virtual data center.

Verge-OS abstracts compute, network, and storage from commodity servers and creates pools of raw resources that are simple to run and manage, creating feature-rich infrastructures for environments and workloads like clusteredHPC in universities, ultra-converged and hyperconverged enterprises, DevOps andTest/Dev, compliant medical and healthcare, remote and edge compute includingVDI, and xSPs offering hosted services including private clouds.

Current methods for deploying GPUs systemwide are complex and expensive, especially for remote users. Rather than supplying GPUs throughout the organization, VergeIO allows users and applications with access to a virtual data center to share the computing resources of a singleGPU-equipped server. Users/administrators can ‘pass through’ an installed GPU to a virtual data center by simply creating a virtual machine with access to that GPU and its resources.

Alternatively, VergeIO can manage the virtualization of theGPU and serve up vGPUs to virtual data centers. This allows organizations to easily manage vGPUs on the same platform as all other shared resources.

According to Darren Pulsipher, Chief Solution Architect of PublicSector at Intel, “The market is looking for simplicity, and Verge-OS is like an‘Easy Button’ for creating a virtual cloud that is so much faster and easier to set up than a private cloud. With Verge-OS, my customers can migrate and manage their data centers anywhere and upgrade their hardware with zero downtime.”

“The ability to deploy GPU in a virtualized, converged environment, and access that performance as needed, even remotely, radically reduces the investment in hardware while simplifying management,” said VergeIO CEO Yan Ness. “Our users are increasingly needing GPU performance, from scientific research to machine learning, so vGPU and GPU Passthrough are simple ways to share and pool GPU resources as they do with the rest of their processing capabilities.”

 Verge-OS is an ultra-thin software—less than 300,000 lines of code—that is easy to install and scale on low-cost commodity hardware and self-manages based on AI/ML. A single license replaces separate hypervisor, networking, storage, data protection, and management tools to simplify operations and downsize complex technology stacks.

 Secure virtual data centers based on Verge-OS include all enterprise data services like global deduplication, disaster recovery, continuous data protection, snapshots, long-distance synch, and auto-failover. They are ideal for creating honeypots, sandboxes, cyber ranges, air-gapped computing, and secure compliance enclaves to meet regulations such as HIPAA, CUI, SOX, NIST, and PCI. Nested multi-tenancy gives service providers, departmental enterprises, and campuses the ability to assign resources and services to groups and sub-groups.

 Currently VergeIO supports NVIDIATesla and Ampere cards; additional licenses must be purchased for vGPU capability.

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VergeIO, Inc., a software company specializing in virtualization of the data center, announced today that ZebraHost, a leading hosting and technology consulting company, leverages VergeIO software to offer its customers private cloud environments that are secure, resilient, and scalable. Since installing VergeIO software in their data center, ZebraHost has reduced their number of support requests and increased customer satisfaction.

“The security, resilience and scalability of our VergeIO Cloud has resulted in reduced support requests from customers,” said Clive Swanepoel, Owner of ZebraHost. “The intuitive dashboard and the speed with which tasks can be completed is groundbreaking.”

VergeIO provides a homogenous cloud data center system that enables Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like ZebraHost to build, deploy, manage, and grow their own virtual data centers. Prior to VergeIO, ZebraHost relied on multiple solutions for their hypervisor, disaster recovery, and backup services. With VergeIO, ZebraHost experiences a fully integrated system that incorporates streamlined cloud services and offers a unique alternative to the public cloud.

“The ability to hand over each and every client their own hypervisor is a game changer,” said Nate Battles, Managing Partner at ZebraHost. “Prior to VergeIO, everything that we really needed in order to handle our day-to-day server management tasks meant spending more on a new hypervisor or expensive licensing for a new tool.
