Achieves Cost Savings, Enhanced Security, and Superior Support
Ann Arbor, MI – November 12, 2024 – VergeIO today announced that NETdepot, a leading services provider offering hosting and bare metal services, has successfully migrated from VMware to VergeIO, gaining a simplified, high-performance IT data center operating environment. This transition enhances NETdepot’s ability to deliver robust infrastructure solutions and provides its clients with cost-effective, secure, and high-quality service.
Meeting Challenges Head-On
With growing concerns surrounding VMware’s pricing and post-Broadcom acquisition roadmap, NETdepot sought an alternative to provide the performance, stability, and security they needed to support their clients.
“The switch to VergeIO provides us with the cost control and operational stability our clients rely on,” said Jeff Hinkle, CEO of NETdepot. “With VMware, we were forced to make hardware decisions based on licensing constraints and compatibility requirements, which limited flexibility. VergeIO’s licensing model allows us to select and retain hardware that best meets our needs, avoiding premature decommissioning and reducing the cost of providing infrastructure services to our customers.”
Streamlined Migration Process
The migration from VMware to VergeIO was seamless, thanks to VergeIO’s straightforward, built-in services. Unlike typical migrations that involve multiple third-party software solutions, VergeIO’s integrated approach enabled NETdepot to transition virtual machines quickly and efficiently. The entire process minimized downtime and required almost zero post-migration adjustments, ensuring NETdepot could continue to serve customers without interruption.
Comprehensive Benefits Realized
Since moving to VergeIO, NETdepot has reported several key benefits:
- Transparent and Predictable Pricing: VergeIO’s per-server licensing eliminates the complexities of per-core pricing, empowering NETdepot to make hardware decisions free of licensing constraints.
- Exceptional Support: VergeIO’s rapid-response support team assists within minutes, ensuring NETdepot can deliver high-quality customer service.
- Reliable Stability: VergeIO has proven to be a stable and resilient platform, helping NETdepot avoid the disruptive downtime that could affect its clients.
- Advanced Networking Capabilities: NETdepot leverages VergeIO’s integrated routing, firewall, and micro-segmentation capabilities to reduce reliance on external appliances, reducing operational complexity and costs.
- Enhanced Data Protection: VergeIO offers comprehensive data protection, including performance-impact-free snapshots that provide rapid recovery points with minimal data loss. VergeIO’s ioGuardian adds an extra layer of resiliency from multiple simultaneous drive or server failures, which means their customers stay up and running even during catastrophic failures.
- Enhanced Security: Virtual Data Centers ensure client isolation, creating an innately secure environment. Built-in ransomware alerts further safeguard NETdepot’s infrastructure and clients.
Positioned for Long-Term Success
The transition to VergeIO positions NETdepot for future growth across its core business and subsidiaries while strengthening strategic relationships with its vital hardware vendor, SuperMicro. Leveraging this collaboration, NETdepot can rapidly deploy four VergeIO bare metal configurations, enabling tailored solutions for its diverse customer needs. Additionally, NETdepot offers comprehensive migration services, making it seamless for customers transitioning from VMware to VergeIO. This combination allows NETdepot to meet the evolving demands of its expanding client base by delivering a stable, secure, and scalable environment.
“NETdepot’s success exemplifies how VergeIO empowers service providers with the flexibility and cost efficiency needed to succeed in today’s market,” said Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. “We’re thrilled to see NETdepot benefit from our integrated, high-performance virtualization platform and look forward to continuing our collaboration to meet their evolving needs.”
