How Infrastructure Software Vendors Are Holding Back Sustainability In today’s world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront of decision-making, it’s frustrating to see many infrastructure software vendors cling to outdated, per-core licensing models that are at odds with the…
Even If You Don’t Think You Need It When it comes to virtualization, high performance virtualization matters even if your not a large-scale enterprise data centers handling massive workloads. Even if you don’t think your mid-sized data center requires extreme…
Many IT professionals overly rely on backup software for data protection, which should be a secondary measure. Infrastructure software is crucial for ensuring data resiliency, uptime, and handling hardware failures. It provides proactive solutions like real-time snapshots and high availability, minimizing reliance on backup systems and enabling quicker recovery.
Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, many organizations have chosen to renew their VMware licenses for just one year instead of locking into long-term contracts. This trend is driven by uncertainty about VMware’s future and the need to explore VMware alternatives…
When searching for a VMware alternative, ensuring robust data protection and system resiliency should be a top priority. Key capabilities to look for include integrated high availability, advanced data protection mechanisms, real-time disaster recovery, and strong ransomware defenses. Platforms that offer seamless VM migration, efficient snapshots, and compatibility with third-party backup solutions can help streamline your infrastructure while reducing complexity and costs. This checklist provides an essential guide to finding the right solution to enhance your data center’s resiliency and protect your virtual environment.
As organizations consider moving away from VMware, a growing number of alternatives have emerged, each promising to deliver comparable or superior virtualization capabilities at a lower cost. However, beneath the surface, these alternatives can vary significantly in their approaches, architectures,…
Implementing hyperconverged systems involves integrating two primary components: hardware and software. The hardware consists of servers and the networking infrastructure that connects them. The software comprises the hypervisor, which creates a cluster, and the storage software, which provides data and…
Not All Deduplication Methods Are Created Equal What is Data Deduplication? Data deduplication is a specialized data compression technique to eliminate duplicate copies of repeating data. This technology is particularly beneficial in virtualized infrastructure as it significantly reduces the required…
The introduction of instant recovery was a significant advancement in data recovery, offering quicker restoration times without real-time replication. However, as data dependence grows, its limitations become apparent. Real-time recovery, exemplified by VergeIO’s ioGuardian, promises reduced RPO and RTO, simplified recovery, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced data availability, setting a new standard in data restoration.
IT leaders explore hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and its potential to replace SAN and NAS. However, current HCI solutions disappoint with high costs, sub-par performance, and limited scalability. An Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) like VergeOS emerges as a viable solution, offering lower costs, superior performance, and advanced data resiliency with global inline deduplication. UCI delivers on the HCI promise to decrease cost and complexity.
