Simplify IT
How does VergeIO virtualization compare to legacy alternatives?
We virtualized the entire stack into a single piece of software.
Complexity still exists, it's just a bit hidden at times. It won't work for workloads in the future, that have to run outside the public cloud and in the field to the edge.
– Steve Jobs
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.

Words from our customers
“VergeIO 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.”
"I truly have nothing but praise for VergeIO. I was originally unaware of the platform but willing to learn, and their support team was outstanding. They are more than competent in their roles and are genuinely willing to help you meet your objectives. Of course, the platform itself is robust and full-featured, but the incredible support team is why VergeIO is the only option for my virtualization needs.
“Since installing VergeIO, 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.”
“VergeIO 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.”
