The Future of Virtualization

Replace VMware with Ultraconverged Infrastructure Software

The Power of ONE

VergeIO is the leading VMware Alternative. Unlike hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI) collapses the traditional IT stack (virtualization, storage, and networking) into an integrated data center operating environment, VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly simplified IT.

Nested Multi-Tenancy

VergeIO increases IT agility. Instantly create, move, scale, clone entire nested multi-tenant virtual data centers.

Create independent, secure, nested virtual data centers. Each virtual data center can have its own compliance standards or can be cloned from a template to assure consistent compliance.  Each tenant virtual data center is containerized and isolated so it can be moved from one VergeIO  platform to another. Use tenancy to manage compliance, selling through channel or charge back needs. To learn more, click here.
