Service providers currently reevaluating their reliance on VMware have a lot to consider. Rising licensing costs, complex management overhead, and shifting market dynamics push many to explore alternative platforms. Yet, transitioning successfully away from VMware requires more than just replacing…
Efficient infrastructure and VDI software let organizations cut costs, extend hardware life, and simplify migration from Citrix or Omnissa. By doing more with existing resources, IT teams avoid hidden costs, boost performance, and modernize flexibly—without needing new hardware or complex licensing.
Many IT teams searching for a VMware alternative overlook networking costs. Proprietary switches, firewalls, and VPN appliances add unnecessary expenses. By integrating SDN into the hypervisor, organizations can eliminate licensing fees, reduce hardware costs, and simplify management—without sacrificing performance or security. Now is the time to rethink networking.
A storage refresh is often a costly and time-consuming process, forcing IT teams to evaluate, purchase, and migrate data every few years. The traditional approach of investing in dedicated storage arrays or single-vendor hyperconverged systems locks organizations into rigid, short-term…
With the rise of QLC, TLC, and MLC SSDs, alongside traditional HDDs, multi-tier storage support has become more critical than ever. Not all workloads demand the highest-performing storage, and organizations require the ability to balance performance, endurance, and efficiency. A…
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is often considered a VMware alternative, but its performance bottlenecks, scalability limits, and strict hardware requirements create challenges. This blog explores why HCI falls short and how VergeIO’s ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI) provides a more flexible, efficient path for VMware exits.
Explore how combining SAN replacement and VMware exit projects can reduce costs, simplify operations, and future-proof your IT
If you noticed VergeIO’s most recent press release, they reported their performance results (1 Million + IOPS) based on 64K block-sized tests—breaking away from the more common but less realistic 4K block-sized tests. This shift offers a better representation of…
While backups are a critical component of data protection and are perceived as a cost-effective way to ensure data availability, backup alone are not DR. Relying solely on backups for disaster recovery (DR) introduces significant risks and limitations. Downtime directly…
As Managed and Cloud Service Providers (MSPs and CSPs) look for ways to optimize costs and enhance service offerings, exploring alternatives to VMware has become a strategic priority. Rising licensing fees, evolving security needs, and the demand for greater scalability are pushing providers to consider solutions that streamline operations while supporting customer demands. This blog explores the key capabilities MSPs and CSPs should prioritize—like cost efficiency, rapid workload migration, and robust multi-tenancy—to ensure a smooth transition and improved service quality. Discover why VergeIO stands out as a leading VMware alternative, empowering MSPs and CSPs to achieve resilient, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure solutions.
