DCIG’s latest analysis on the shifting hypervisor landscape highlights exactly why VergeIO is emerging as the VMware alternative to watch. With VergeOS, organizations gain an ultraconverged platform that integrates virtualization, storage, and networking into a single code base—delivering unmatched simplicity, cost savings, and resiliency. Unlike layered solutions that add complexity and licensing fees, VergeOS runs on nearly any x86 hardware, boots 1,000 VMs in just 70 seconds, and provides enterprise-grade data protection with features like ioGuardian and ioClone. As DCIG points out, the era of hypervisor lock-in is ending, and VergeIO is proving that modern infrastructure can be powerful, affordable, and future-ready all at once.
