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.”
