VergeIO Unveils New Self-Paced Hands-On VMware Migration Labs

September 17, 2024 — Ann Arbor, Michigan — VergeIO, the leader in ultraconverged infrastructure, has partnered with TechAccelerator to deliver a suite of hands-on labs designed for IT professionals looking to migrate from VMware to VergeOS. These self-paced labs provide a comprehensive, interactive experience to help organizations transition smoothly to VergeOS, offering an invaluable learning opportunity without needing hardware.

The migration process is often a key concern for businesses exploring VMware alternatives. VergeIO’s hands-on labs are available 24/7 and can be completed in just 15 to 20 minutes. Each lab showcases VergeOS’ integrated virtualization, storage, and networking capabilities, giving participants a deep understanding of how VergeOS operates and how it can enhance their current processes.

David Hekimian, CEO of TechAccelerator, commented, “Our partnership with VergeIO is a game changer for IT professionals. These labs provide an immersive and practical experience, enabling users to get comfortable with VergeOS in a risk-free environment. This is essential for anyone considering a shift from VMware or looking to optimize their virtualization strategy.”

Become a VMware Migration Expert—No Hardware Required

The VMware Migration Lab provides IT professionals with a fully functional environment. It allows them to connect to a VMware infrastructure, migrate virtual machines into VergeOS, and boot them seamlessly. This lab guides participants through each step of the migration process, equipping them with the knowledge needed to execute their migrations confidently.

Enhance Data Protection with VergeOS

VergeOS is not just a VMware alternative—it offers superior efficiency, performance, and data resiliency. In the Snapshot Lab, participants can explore VergeOS’ ioClone-powered snapshot technology, learning to create and protect VMs with both scheduled and manual snapshots. The lab also demonstrates how to recover files from deleted VMs, providing IT teams with the tools to refine their data protection and disaster recovery strategies.

Ensure Workload Resiliency

VergeIO’s multi-tenant Virtual Data Center (VDC) technology provides an extra layer of security and resiliency by isolating workloads, ensuring that issues like ransomware attacks in one tenant do not affect others. The Virtual Data Center Lab allows participants to create tenants and sub-tenants, test workload isolation, and experience firsthand VergeOS’ advanced protection features.

“These hands-on labs give prospective customers and partners the ability to explore VergeOS before committing to a proof of concept or purchase,” said Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. “This allows them to understand how VergeOS can improve their infrastructure and operations fully.”
