How does Verge.io virtualization compare to legacy alternatives?
Today's IT workloads require agility and security that's difficult and expensive to achieve with legacy virtualization. The unit of virtualization, the machine, is too small.
An entire industry of convergence was layered on top of legacy virtualization in attempts to simplify it. It only did so in appearance.
The result is complexity upon complexity. It won't work for today's or tomorrow' workloads.
Tomorrow's workloads require a stack that's much more economical, scalable and less complex. It needs to Simplify IT.
Tomorrow's workloads will require that the entire data center is virtualized in one single, thin piece of software that gets the most out of the hardware with the least effort.
Verge.io is that software.
Simplify IT.

Reduce capital and operating expenses by over 50%. Increase your margins as a provider and expand your product line.
Scale incrementally to match demand for workload capacity. Just add more commodity servers.
One single, thin piece of software replaces many disparate vendors. One SKU, one bill, one dashboard, one API.
VMware first virtualized the server. Over time they virtualized other aspects of the IT stack, partly through development but also through acquisition. It's a robust and broad product set.
For some it's become too complex. It can require many different SKUs, with complex pricing and significant API integration to build out a virtualized data center. Recent M&A activity has also caused many to look for alternatives. For a more technical deep dive click here.
Nutanix introduced us to hyperconvergence and orchestration with a single UI. It made managing and deploying a private cloud easy. Their pivot to a software company has allowed for more hardware choices. Even though Nutanix has their own hypervisor, many still use VMware.
The inability to scale resources independently, pricing and continued complexity in product lineup have caused some to seek simpler, less expensive alternatives.
OpenStack is a community led private cloud project. Over time it has become a very common architecture for private clouds. The lack of license fees, ability to run on commodity hardware and feature set have made it a popular choice.
However, it takes a lot of expertise to set up and requires significant automation to really gain benefit. Some seek alternatives to deal with staffing challenges, automation challenges or for more remote private clouds.
The hyperscale public clouds provide a lot of value, especially early on in a project’s lifecycle. You can quickly and easily spin up significant infrastructure. They've grown from hosting private clouds to offering full platforms for your applications.
It now suffers from some of the same issues as other legacy alternatives - it’s become so big and complex that it requires a lot of highly trained staff to use. Challenges are sprawl, run-away and complex billing and inability to run “in the field” outside their cloud causing people to seek alternatives.
Hyper-v by Microsoft is popular among shops that rely heavily on Microsoft. It’s pricing can be very attractive though it’s feature set is very thin.
Hyper-v is a hypervisor for CPU and memory. It does not provide virtualized storage or networking. A Hyper-v platform will require additional products and licenses to support the storage and networking. It can get complicated quickly if you want a very dense environment for the edge, or a highly scalable, reliable platform in a data center.

why we're here
Founded and operated by people passionate about creating better IT through software, Verge.io imagines a future where IT staff and CFO’s get a break.
Reliable IT infrastructure has gotten too complex and too expensive. We believe dramatically better software is the solution.
We started from scratch. Ignored the siloes of today's IT stack. We imagined a single, powerful, thin piece of software on commodity hardware.
The result is composable IT infrastructure at a fraction of the cost, with increased agility and scalability.
“Verge.io makes staying in compliance easy. Recipes and clones assure that new virtual data centers match audited standards. The result is better use of our technology and a more secure profile, for less.”
Operations Manager
“Since installing Verge.io, we’ve seen a 50% reduction in hardware and software costs, twice the monthly margin on each customer that converts, and at least a 30% reduction in daily support tasks for our customers.”
Managing Partner
“Verge.io allowed us to solve the secure research needs at Arizona State University in an astoundingly fast manner, with visibility and security that makes supporting a large number of unique use cases as easy as following a recipe.”
