VergeIO, a leading innovator in data center virtualization, is
proud to announce that DCIG has selected VergeOS as one of the DCIG
TOP 5 VMware vSphere Alternatives. After an exhaustive review of 19
VMware vSphere alternatives, DCIG recognized VergeOS for its unique
and comprehensive approach to data center virtualization. This
recognition follows a previous accolade where DCIG selected VergeIO
as one of the DCIG TOP 5 hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)
solutions.
DCIG evaluated 19 possible VMware vSphere alternatives and made
their selection of the DCIG TOP 5 based on the highest ratings in
these categories:
- Ease of Migration
- Data Protection and Security
- Deployment Options
- Licensing and Pricing
- Management
- Technical Support
VergeOS scored well across all these categories, solidifying its
position as a top choice for enterprises seeking a VMware vSphere
alternative.
VergeOS stands out in the market by delivering what VergeIO
describes as the next iteration of hyperconverged infrastructure:
the ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI). Unlike traditional
solutions that virtualize the server stack, VergeOS integrates
compute, networking, and storage into a single code base. VergeOS
virtualizes the entire data center, prevents performance
bottlenecks, and reduces attack vectors (or “improves
security”).
By installing VergeOS on bare metal servers, VergeIO manages the
servers’ hardware resources, catalogs them, and makes them
available to virtual data centers containing virtual networks,
virtual machines (VMs), and virtual storage. This direct access and
management of server hardware resources enables VergeOS to optimize
performance in ways other hypervisors often cannot. For example,
VergeOS’ global deduplication feature reduces data storage needs.
It enhances efficiency in VM cloning and snapshot replication
tasks, making it ideal for edge environments with limited
resources.
Jerome Wendt, DCIG’s Principal Analyst who authored the report,
commented, "VergeIO's innovative approach to integrating compute,
networking and storage into a single code base sets it apart from
traditional hyperconverged solutions. Its ability to virtualize
entire data centers efficiently while preventing performance
bottlenecks makes VergeOS a standout choice for enterprises looking
for an alternative to VMware vSphere."
VergeOS differentiates itself further with several key
features:
- Multi-tenancy with Virtual Data Centers (VDCs): VergeOS
creates its VDCs, each with full data center capabilities. This
approach allows enterprises to manage VDCs like virtual private
clouds (VPCs) offered by public cloud providers, ensuring robust
and secure multi-tenancy.
- VMware vSphere Migration Service: VergeOS facilitates
seamless migration from existing VMware vSphere environments. With
the VergeOS VMware service, administrators can easily import VMs
from vSphere to VergeOS, enabling immediate use or testing without
disrupting production environments.
- All-inclusive Software Licensing: VergeOS employs a
per-physical-server, all-inclusive licensing model. This includes
all server virtualization, networking, and storage capabilities and
does not require adherence to a specific hardware compatibility
list (HCL). Enterprises can leverage existing server hardware to
deploy VergeOS, offering significant cost savings and
flexibility.
- Runs on Existing Hardware: - In most cases, VergeOS can
run on the customer’s existing hardware, which allows them to
migrate from VMware vSphere without compounding capital
expense.
"We are honored to be recognized by DCIG as a DCIG TOP 5 VMware
vSphere Alternative," said Greg Campbell, Founder and CTO of
VergeIO. "This accolade, along with our previous recognition by
DCIG as a DCIG TOP 5 hyperconverged infrastructure solution,
validates our commitment to delivering cutting-edge virtualization
solutions that empower enterprises to optimize their data center
operations."
Live Webinar Announcement: DCIG and VergeIO will conduct a live
webinar on August 1 at 1:00 PM ET to discuss the VMware vSphere
Alternatives report results. VergeIO will also demonstrate live how
VergeOS achieved its high scores in the evaluated categories.

About VergeIO
VergeIO is the leading VMware Alternative. Unlike hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI)
collapses the traditional IT stack (computing, storage, and
networking) into an integrated data center operating environment,
VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using
existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is
dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly
simplified IT. VergeIO is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
