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
The StorageSwiss Report is a weekly discussion about hot trends and topics going on in the storage, cloud, and data protection markets. We don’t just cut & paste press releases. We provide insight as to why or why not the…
The promise of software-defined storage (SDS) aims to unify all of your organization’s storage assets through a single user interface. But that interface is supposed to do more than provide a single pane of glass for monitoring. It is also…
One part of File Virtualization is a global file system that abstracts the physical location of data from the logical directory structure. Even though data may move between physical file servers or network-attached storage (NAS) systems, users continue to access…
Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) enables shared storage systems to achieve very low latency, to the point that they can now rival direct-attach storage solutions. Organizations no longer have to suffer through the inefficiencies of direct-attached storage, standard in…
VMware continues to be at the heart of many data center infrastructures and will continue to be that heart for years, if not decades to come. Many of these infrastructures are still struggling however with the most basic of data…
Edge data centers can be remote retail locations or offices, oil rigs, temporary command centers and even mobile data centers in the back of a van. Finding a solution that provides the performance edge data centers need at a price…
Most VMware storage solutions attempt to fix storage pain points with a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel. While the sledgehammer approach does solve or at least mask some VMware storage problems, many still remain. More importantly, the life of the…
When a company begins its cloud journey, they often assume they need to move everything to one of the “big 3” (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Compute). Many organizations want to maintain control of their data and leverage only…
