The transition from VMware requires careful consideration of deduplication and storage options. All-Flash Arrays (AFAs) excel in performance but are costly, while vSAN faces latency issues due to its complex architecture. Integrated ultraconverged systems like VergeOS eliminate trade-offs, improving efficiency and reducing costs by unifying deduplication with core hypervisor functions.
Enterprises with distributed operations are being compelled to reassess their ROBO and Edge strategies following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware. Long-held assumptions about how to manage infrastructure at remote offices, branch offices (ROBO), and edge locations need to be reexamined. Beyond…
Understanding the AFA tax requires factoring in inflated hardware costs, complex licensing, and layered infrastructure. This article breaks down the economics behind all-flash arrays and shows how integrated platforms eliminate the tax without sacrificing performance or availability.
An effective enterprise AI strategy must address the risks of Shadow AI, where employees use unauthorized AI tools. With 46-50% of employees engaging with these tools, organizations should avoid complete bans and consider partnerships with specialized cloud providers, on-premises solutions, or hybrid approaches to ensure productivity while safeguarding security and compliance.
There are practical use cases for on-premises AI versus using AI in the public cloud, particularly in situations that require enhanced security, data control, and regulatory compliance. By examining these specific examples, IT professionals can gain a deeper understanding of…
Enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly evolved from experimental projects to mission-critical business drivers. Organizations across industries are now recognizing that AI is no longer a futuristic technology, but a foundational capability, required NOW, to enable innovation, efficiency,…
Considering a VMware exit? Learn the critical factors of data availability, key considerations for evaluating VMware alternatives, and ensuring operational continuity, resiliency, and simplified management in converged infrastructures.
Repurposing existing hardware with the right infrastructure software improves IT operational efficiency by extending hardware life, reducing costs, and delivering near-bare-metal performance with high availability and resiliency.
MSPs and VARs seeking VMware alternatives should rethink their entire infrastructure strategy. This blog explores how partnering with a CSP built for MSPs—and powered by a unified platform like VergeOS—enables scalable, secure, multi-tenant services while simplifying VMware migration and unlocking new growth opportunities through virtual data center architectures.
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…
