Create Private AI With Existing Servers
Artificial intelligence is now central to IT strategy, yet many organizations assume that meaningful progress requires new infrastructure. The assumption comes from the demands of AI workloads. They require substantial CPU and GPU power, high-throughput storage, and fast data movement.…

VMware Exit: Why DR Readiness Matters More Than the Hypervisor
Most organizations planning their VMware Exit view it as a hypervisor replacement project. That narrow goal hides a larger opportunity: the chance to modernize data protection and recovery. The migration process highlights the failure of legacy disaster recovery strategies to…
Why Cloud Repatriation is Critical Post-VMware Exit
83% of enterprise CIOs are now planning to bring workloads back on-premises—nearly doubling from 43% in late 2020. This dramatic shift toward cloud repatriation intersects perfectly with the current VMware migration crisis, creating an unprecedented opportunity for comprehensive infrastructure consolidation. The timing isn’t coincidental, and the economic case is compelling.

AFA Deduplication vs vSAN
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.

Reducing the Cost of Networking
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.

How to Eliminate Future Storage Refreshes with an Enterprise-Class vSAN
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…
Is HCI a True VMware Alternative?
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.
Why a SAN Replacement and a VMware Exit Should Go Hand in Hand
Explore how combining SAN replacement and VMware exit projects can reduce costs, simplify operations, and future-proof your IT
