VergeFS - A Better vSAN
Enterprise Class Performance, Scalability and Resiliency
A Hypervisor with an Integrated vSAN
The VergeFS vSAN is directly integrated into VergeOS. It is not a separate software package requiring additional virtual machines that are second-class citizens of the hypervisor. This integration makes the hypervisor aware of all of VergeFS' functionality, which lowers overhead and increases efficiency.
- 30% Performance Improvement
- 50% Cost Savings
- 100% Data Resiliency
Support Existing SAN Storage
The challenge with most hyperconverged architectures is they require you to replace your current servers and storage, which results in additional hardware costs. VergeOS' Ultraconverged (UCI) approach provides a solution by leveraging your existing hardware investment, including servers and storage.
- FC-based storage arrays can contribute storage directly to the VergeOS environment while improving performance and resiliency
- Software-defined storage (SDS) solutions can be repurposed as "storage only" nodes within the environment
Virtualizes Server Storage
Alternatively, VergeFS is a vSAN that can aggregate the internal storage of the nodes within the VergeOS instance enabling VMs shared access to a virtualized pool of storage. VergeFS empowers customers to utilize server-class storage without compromising on performance or reliability, leading to a substantial cost reduction of 5X or more.
- VergeOS' vSAN protocol talks directly to the ethernet ports eliminating the need for link aggregation and ensuring full active-active utilization
- Supports NVMe, SAS, and SATA Flash Storage as well as Hard Disk Drives
Unmatched Data Resiliency
Most importantly, VergeFS provides complete data resiliency and protects you from hardware failure and user error. Again, its integration into VergeOS means that we deliver seamless availability, regardless of drive failure, server failure, accidental user deletion, or data corruption. VergeOS' ioGuardian capability takes availability to the next level by providing real-time recovery from multiple drive and/or server failures.
Hypervisor Aware Deduplication
Deduplication has always been a storage function with little benefit to the hypervisor or network. However, because VergeFS is integrated into VergeOS, both the hypervisor and the network benefit from it. Once a node processes data and identifies redundant segments, those segments, other than metadata, are not sent across the network or processed by other nodes, greatly improving CPU and network efficiency.
- Always On and Inline
- ~5X Reduction in Capacity Requirements
- Globally Aware, eliminating redundancy throughout the infrastructure
Eliminate Storage Refreshes
The challenge with most hyperconverged architectures is they require you to replace your current servers and storage, which results in additional hardware costs. VergeOS' Ultraconverged (UCI) approach provides a solution by leveraging your existing hardware investment, including servers and storage.
- Dedicated FC-based storage arrays can contribute storage directly to the VergeOS environment while improving performance and resiliency
- Software-defined storage (SDS) solutions can be repurposed as "storage only" nodes within the environment
