VergeIO Launches Innovative Software Defined Data Center Platform

July 29, 2022 by Verge.IO Leave a Comment

June 24, 2020 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VergeIO, a software defined data center (SDDC) company, today announces the release of Verge-OS.

The exponential growth of data creation and use is driving an in-step demand for the data center’s core functions. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on hardware to scale, VergeIO has taken a sustainable software-based approach to scale, capable of reducing physical footprint and energy consumption by nearly 50 percent while simultaneously reducing capital expenditure by nearly 50 percent.

“Every once in a while, something comes along that shakes up the world and shifts the trajectory of all things that follow. I believe Verge-OS has this potential and likely constitutes one of the largest paradigm shifts to the IT industry in the last 20 years,” said Chief Executive Officer Matt Wenzler. “The secret lies in the platform’s unified architecture. Our platform empowers IT generalists to do the job of many specialists and reduces vendor management from many to one. We significantly move all of the important needles in the right direction.”

Verge-OS is a novel software solution that represents a transformative improvement in the unification of function resulting in performance increases, price efficiencies, and overall simplification of management. By eliminating the disparate interfacing functions of a typical multi-vendor deployment, the platform’s unified architecture seamlessly delivers all the expected benefits of the modern hyperconverged system under a single license.

This same unified architecture demystifies data center management. Resultantly, the required knowledge base to perform even complex activities is reduced to a generalist level. Once installed, the platform makes it possible to create separate and individually secure data centers in a matter of minutes. By removing the necessity for siloed expertise, coupled with the platform’s automation and intelligence, customers using Verge-OS cite a 25 to 50 percent reduction in technical operational headcount required to service the environment.

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

Verge-OS is deployed in large cloud service providers, data science, and corporate enterprises. VergeIO has a particularly effective value proposition for the resource and compliance driven data pools required by data science and research institutions where over 2,500 research groups are already leveraging Verge-OS. VergeIO is uniquely positioned with a proven solution backed by years of experience with SDDC deployments.

“The demand for new workloads has exceeded the industry’s ability to provision technology in a timely and cost-effective manner using traditional methods of scaling infrastructure with disparate hardware,” says VergeIO Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Greg Campbell. “Verge-OS replaces unique and expensive hardware appliances with scalable intelligent software that uses building block commodity hardware. The result is less hardware and more software to solve a growing concern.”

VergeIO and Intequus Announce Strategic Partnership

March 16, 2021 10:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time

METRO DETROIT, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VergeIO and Intequus announced the availability of Verge-OS, the first software-defined data center operating system, for pre-installation on Intequus hardware. The collaboration drastically accelerates the deployment of edge virtual data centers by coupling the customizability and reliability of Intequus edge server hardware with the performance and security of Verge-OS data center infrastructure.

According to IDC,1 by 2025, 75 percent of an estimated 55.7 billion devices will connect to an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Edge computing places latency-sensitive IoT devices near data processing (compute) resources, providing the speed necessary for optimal performance and user experience. Examples of IoT devices include industrial sensors, medical equipment, traffic management systems, and bandwidth-heavy video applications.

“VergeIO allows us to offer cloud providers an out-of-the-box virtual data center solution packed with management features at a price point other solutions can’t compete with,” said Jake Pomplun, Intequus Chief Revenue Officer.

VergeIO’s software-defined data center platform, Verge-OS, converts server hardware into the resources required to create and manage edge virtual data centers. Verge-OS deployments are versatile, with data centers ranging in size from computing-research universities to small businesses. The software’s validated ability to deliver performance and security along with simple deployment and management makes Verge-OS ideal for edge applications.

“Our partnership with Intequus represents a strong step forward in the edge computing marketplace,” said Matthew Wenzler, VergeIO CEO. “Intequus is recognized by the biggest names in the business for their hardware engineering and lifecycle management. The partnership instantly made sense to both sides.”

Solution architects from VergeIO and Intequus collaborated to engineer a customizable server lineup designed for high performance and rapid deployment. As a trusted integration partner to prominent technology companies, Intequus hardware provides reliability capable of meeting even the most remote edge data center’s needs.

While edge computing is not new, the arrival of 5G networks and artificial intelligence have brought it to the forefront of digital transformation planning. The union of VergeIO and Intequus equips businesses with the power of Verge-OS in a hardware-delivery model that supports the demand for edge computing solutions.
