VergeIO and Intequus Announce Strategic Partnership

July 15, 2022 by Verge.IO Leave a Comment

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.

VergeIO and CloudFabrix Announce Strategic Partnership

July 14, 2021 10:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–VergeIO, a leader in Software Defined Data Center solutions, is pleased to announce that AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) industry leader CloudFabrix has selected the Verge-OS platform to form the basis of a strategic new partnership.

This partnership will combine VergeIO’s data center virtualization operating system with CloudFabrix’s AI-based Asset Intelligence Operations to provide a complete data center transformation for enterprise and channel service provider organizations.

VergeIO brings data center virtualization and transformation to the forefront of MSP and enterprise organizations while complementing the CloudFabrix value of reducing complexity and creating operational excellence for clients. It is the first and only operating system of its kind that abstracts the
functions of networking, compute (hypervisor), and storage components from commodity bare metal hardware to create virtual data centers.

“Never before has the combination of AI-based Asset Intelligence and a data center virtualization operating system been used to assure a successful data center transformation,” said Bhaskar Krishnamsetty, Chief Product Officer at CloudFabrix. “We’re incredibly excited to work with VergeIO, who’s well known for pioneering the Software Defined Data Center space, to facilitate the smooth
transition to a VergeIO virtualized data center with minimal risk for our clients.”

“We’re thrilled to assist CloudFabrix with taking the guesswork out of the digital transformation process and reducing risk through the Verge-OS platform,” said Matt Wenzler, CEO at VergeIO. “This strategic partnership will help organizations realize operational efficiency, cost savings, and a high ROI and I look forward to working with CloudFabrix for many years to come.”
