    • Fight Data Center Inflation
      DRAM, SSD and server prices keep climbing. VergeOS uses as much as 50% less RAM per VM than VMware, runs on the servers you already own, and moves cold data to low-cost hard drives.
  • Blog
      • The CPU and Memory Economics of vSANvSAN overhead takes host CPU and RAM from your apps. See how VergeOS runs a midsize data center on five servers instead of eight.
      • Comparing vSAN ESA to VergeFSvSAN ESA runs only on certified NVMe, deduplicates after the write, and charges per VM for remote replication. VergeFS uses NVMe, SAS, SATA, QLC and hard drives, deduplicates inline, and replicates whole virtual data centers at no extra cost. Here is how the two compare before your VCF 9 decision.
      • The Midsize Enterprise Needs Infrastructure SimplicityInfrastructure simplicity matters most to midsize IT, where three to five generalists run virtualization, storage, networking, data protection and DR. Three-tier and HCI hide that complexity behind a GUI. VergeOS unifies all five in one code base with one interface.

Data Sovereignty Without the Complexity or Cost

Hear what Omdia’s new research says about the rising complexity and cost of data sovereignty, then watch VergeOS deliver sovereign infrastructure on hardware you own.

Session Agenda

From Omdia’s Findings to a Live VergeOS Demo

Research

What Omdia Found

Simon Robinson shares Omdia’s new research on how organizations meet sovereignty requirements, the challenges they rank highest and what they expect compliance to cost.

Discussion

Residency Is Not Sovereignty

Simon and George discuss why data location alone leaves jurisdiction, key custody and the kill switch in someone else’s hands.

Architecture

Fewer Layers to Secure

George shows how VergeOS runs compute, storage, networking, data protection and private AI in one code base, leaving IT fewer layers to secure, staff and audit.

Control

Sovereignty by Workload

Nested Virtual Data Centers give each workload group its own compute, storage, network, administrators and placement rules on shared hardware.

Live Demo

VergeOS in Action

Dave Vincent puts these capabilities to work live in VergeOS, from encryption and site syncs to tenants and fully disconnected operation.

Live Q&A

Bring Your Requirements

Simon, George and Dave answer audience questions about sovereignty plans, cloud repatriation and running infrastructure without a vendor connection.

Who Should Attend

Built for Small Teams With Big Sovereignty Requirements

This session is for IT leaders, infrastructure architects and systems engineers who own a sovereignty requirement and a limited staff to meet it. Midsize enterprises running the whole data center with a three-to-five-person IT team will get the most from it, along with any organization working through GDPR, NIS2, DORA or the EU Data Act.

If your team is also choosing a VMware alternative, planning cloud repatriation or deciding where private AI should run, the same architecture decision answers each of those questions.

About VergeOS

One Infrastructure Operating System

VergeOS is an infrastructure operating system that unifies virtualization, storage, networking and data protection in a single code base, and VergeIQ adds private AI on GPUs the customer owns. Management runs inside your own data center, Virtual Data Centers deliver secure nested multitenancy, and an air-gap license lets the platform run fully disconnected.

VergeOS runs on a wide range of existing x86 servers, including mixed generations, so the servers already in the rack stay in service. Organizations use it to replace VMware, bring cloud workloads home and build sovereign private clouds at every site their rules require.

About Omdia

Independent Research on Data Sovereignty

Omdia is a global technology research and advisory firm. Simon Robinson leads its coverage of storage and data infrastructure, and his team’s new research examines how organizations meet data sovereignty requirements and what those requirements cost them. This webinar is one of the first opportunities to hear Simon walk through the results and take questions on them.
