Replace VMware, Not Your Servers

Live Webinar

Live Webinar — November 20, 2025 | 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT

VMware price increases are one challenge, but the bigger issue is how often they deprecate perfectly capable hardware from their supported servers list. Many of those systems still have years of usable life left. Most VMware alternatives don’t solve this problem either—they simply want you to buy new hardware from them.

VergeOS and Service Express take a different approach, helping you extend and modernize the hardware you already own. Because a VMware exit shouldn't require a server refresh.

Join VergeIO and Service Express for a practical discussion on how IT teams are modernizing virtualization environments without replacing hardware.
